## What is Merkly?

Merkly is a multifunctional omnichain platform, designed to simplify bridging via pioneering interoperability technology. At Merkly, we strongly believe that an Omnichain future is inevitable.&#x20;

We’re dedicated to familiarize and connect users with as many chains as possible through an easy-to-use platform. Exceptional user experience will foster growth and activity across multiple networks, thereby empowering its participants, protocols, and crypto as a whole.\
\
The aim is to utilize and alternate between multiple messaging layers, depending on the unique use cases and advantages they provide — all unified within one Super-App.

**Examples**\
\- LayerZero Refuel supports over 50 chains with hyperflexible gas options (Polygon → Canto)\
\- Hyperlane ETH Bridge powers otherwise difficult-to-access chains (ZetaChain, Ancient8, RedStone) at sub-market fee rates\
\
Currently, 3 messaging layers are utilized:\
\- Omnichain (LayerZero)\
\- Interchain (Hyperlane)\
\- zkLightClient (Polyhedra)

## Products

Merkly currently offers the following product line:

* **LayerZero**: Omnichain Fungible & Non-Fungible \[OFT & ONFT] Bridge across +50 Chains
* **LayerZero Refuel**: Access Gas Tokens on +50 Chains (abstracting CEXs away)

## Vision and Mission

As Crypto adoption continues to grow, so does the number of blockchains and networks, along with the demand for messaging solutions.

Merkly's mission is to address this growing landscape by connecting them all through a single, intuitive interface. This allows users to tap into liquidity and gas tokens, as well as navigate an ever-expanding array of chains effortlessly.
