TLDR: LI.FI is signing an exclusive partnership with Glacis to integrate all the leading interop token standards. This will allow us to add hundreds of tokens with native mint/burn functionality into our routing engine and make them accessible to our distribution network of 400+ partners.

At LI.FI, our long term goal is simple: solving all the interoperability needs for our customers so that they never have to worry about it. Enterprises integrating LI.FI shouldn’t have to worry about keeping up with the latest advancements in interop — we do that for them. They stay focused on their core business while we handle all their interop needs.

At first, interoperability was about onboarding users from different chains. Now, it’s being solved happening at a deeper level: asset issuance itself is going multi-chain with interop token standards. Stablecoins like USDC and USDT, assets like wBTC and restaked ETH, even memecoins — every type of asset is being issued on interop token standards.

With that in mind, we’re pleased to announce that LI.FI has entered an exclusive partnership with Glacis, an aggregator of interop protocols that integrates all of the leading interop token standards in the market.

This partnership enables LI.FI to support the growing number of tokens issued on interop token standards with native mint/burn functionality — unlocking more cross-chain features for users and builders alike.

The Future Of Asset Issuance Is Powered By Interop Token Standards

Interop token standards are gaining rapid adoption because of the advantages they offer to asset issuers:

• Simplicity – Token management across chains becomes easier.

• Market expansion – Tokens can be deployed across chains faster, driving adoption.

• No fragmented liquidity – Interop token standards eliminate the need for wrapped tokens.

• Capital efficiency – Large amounts of an asset can be moved across chains without liquidity pools or wrapping, simply by burning and minting tokens, at zero slippage.

More tokens are being issued this way, and that number will only grow. To be the best routing engine in crypto, LI.FI must support these tokens and the evolving standards behind them.

That’s where Glacis comes in, supporting each token with Airlift — a product that will be soon integrated into LI.FI.

At launch, we will support tokens issued on the following interop token standards:

• LayerZero’s OFT (Omnichain Fungible Tokens)

• Wormhole’s NTT (Native Token Transfers)

• Chainlink’s CTT (Cross-Chain Tokens)

As part of the exclusive partnership, all tokens supported by Glacis will be added to LI.FI’s routing engine and made available to our distribution network of 400+ enterprise customers. Additionally, new chains and asset issuers can work directly with us to issue tokens on any interop token standard supported by Glacis.

This is a win-win for the interop ecosystem: tokens get broader support through LI.FI’s distribution network, and LI.FI’s routing improves with better prices, better routes, and more tokens.

The Glacis team has exceptional expertise in building infrastructure that simplifies access to a range of interop protocols. Their approach aligns closely with our core values of aggregation and credible neutrality. We’re excited to work with them to accelerate the adoption of interop token standards.

If your team has assets issued on interop token standards and you'd like us to support your token, or if you’re considering issuing a token and need assistance in selecting the best interop token standard, we’re here to help – get in touch with us!
