Experiments with LayerZero, the protocol for cross-chain messaging
Source: https://github.com/LayerZero-Labs/solidity-examples
This is a classic example of a simple contract implementing a counter, but on another chain.
The MultiChainCounter contract can send and receive LayerZero messages. This contract has to be deployed on both the source chain and the destination chain. I attempted this with testnets on Ethereum (Rinkeby) and Polygon (Mumbai).
Making use of LayerZero involves implementing a way to call send() and lzReceive()
Every contract is a ILayerZeroReceiver
To send a message a message, we call the endpoint.send() function from the source chain:
endpoint.send{value:msg.value}(10001, destUaAddr, bytes("hello"), msg.sender, address(this), bytes(""));
send() has a few parameters: destination chainId, destination contract address, raw bytes of payload, where additional destination gas is refunded, address, tx parameters)
Your User Application contract must override the lzReceive() function. Any logic can be executed on the receiving chain.
The destination chain will execute lzReceive to receive the message.
I deployed contracts using REMIX. Had to include the interfaces as well, which get imported in MultiCoinCounter.sol
You must deploy the contract with an Endpoint address.
An endpoint is the main LayerZero contract you interact with. An instance of Endpoint.sol is used to send messages to another chain via the endpoint.send() function.

You can load in these contracts from REMIX, and trigger the functions manually using injected Web3 (MetaMask).
