@centrifuge ($CFG) unveiled the Vault Development Kit on November 11, 2026, a set of building blocks for creating onchain funds. The kit lets developers pick the rules a product needs, while it handles accounting, settlement and cross-chain connections.

@LayerZero_Core ($ZRO) said its cross-chain technology is available inside the kit. The kit is still going through security audits, though developers can already read the documentation and code ahead of launch.

How the Vault Development Kit Works

The design is modular. A team building a treasury fund could choose instant redemptions, for example, while a private credit product could use lockups. The kit then takes care of the underlying plumbing, so developers do not need to build it for each product.

The kit builds on Centrifuge's existing vault standards. According to the protocol's GitHub page, these include asynchronous vaults (ERC-7540), which process deposits and redemptions as requests, and synchronous deposit vaults that allow instant deposits with asynchronous redemptions. The protocol uses a hub-and-spoke design, in which each pool selects a single hub chain as its source of truth and then issues tokens and vaults across any number of spoke chains.

LayerZero Partnership Background

The LayerZero integration follows an earlier agreement. LayerZero and Centrifuge announced a partnership in March 2026 that brings Centrifuge's tokenization and onchain asset infrastructure into the LayerZero ecosystem. Under that arrangement, issuers can launch a tokenized fund and then extend access across 165 ecosystems without rebuilding the product for each new chain.

The first Centrifuge assets to adopt LayerZero included JTRSY, JAAA and SPXA, expanding to chains including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Base, Optimism and HyperEVM. JTRSY is Centrifuge's largest tokenized fund, according to The Defiant. It holds about $870 million in short-term U.S. Treasury bills, per DefiLlama data.

Moving assets between blockchains depends on a messaging layer, and a failure or attack there can affect every product that uses it. That makes the pending security audits of the new kit a point to watch ahead of launch. No launch date has been given.
