βœ… What We Built: Extended LayerZero V2 OFT

We didn't just inherit LayerZero contractsβ€”we EXTENDED them with custom yield-aware logic per OFT best practices.

🧠

APR-Aware Routing (Custom _debit)

Overrides OFT _debit() to block transfers to lower-yield chains. Only moves funds if APR improvement exceeds threshold. Novel use of OFT extension pattern.

⚑

Batch Transfers (Official Pattern)

Implements LayerZero Batch Send pattern: gas-optimized batchSend() for multi-chain transfers in single tx. See docs.layerzero.network/v2/developers/evm/oapp/overview#batch-send

πŸ”’

Circuit Breakers (Safety)

Per-chain emergency circuit breakers and global emergency mode. Foundation for rate limiting and advanced safety patterns.

πŸ“Š

Yield Statistics (Analytics)

Tracks totalCrossChainTransfers and totalGasSaved. On-chain analytics for demonstrating real-world value.

🌐

8 Chain Deployment (Production)

Deployed across World Chain, Base, Celo, Zircuit, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche. Real mainnet & testnet addresses.

πŸ”—

Automated Peer Config (Tooling)

Custom setPeers.ts script automatically configures trusted peers across all chains using LayerZero V2 Endpoint IDs (lzEid).

πŸ”₯ CRITICAL: How We EXTEND Base Contract Logic (Mandatory Requirement)

LayerZero explicitly requires: "Must extend the Base Contract Logic (not sufficient to just inherit OApp/OFT/Endpoint interface contracts)"

We do this by overriding core OFT functions with custom business logic:

1. Override _debit() - Add APR-Checking Logic

We don't just call super._debit(). We add yield-aware routing that blocks transfers to lower-yield chains:

// contracts/AutoYieldToken.sol (Lines 112-140)
function _debit(
    uint256 _amountLD,
    uint256 _minAmountLD,
    uint32 _dstEid
) internal virtual override returns (uint256 amountSentLD, uint256 amountReceivedLD) {
    // ⚑ CUSTOM LOGIC: Check if target chain has better APR
    uint256 currentAPR = chainAPRs[block.chainid];
    uint256 targetAPR = chainAPRs[_dstEid];
    
    // πŸ”₯ EXTENSION: Only allow transfer if APR improves
    if (targetAPR <= currentAPR + aprThreshold) {
        revert InsufficientAPRImprovement(currentAPR, targetAPR, aprThreshold);
    }
    
    // Then call parent implementation
    return super._debit(_amountLD, _minAmountLD, _dstEid);
}

βœ… This is TRUE extension: we add new functionality (APR checking) before calling parent.

2. Override _credit() - Add Event Emission & Analytics

We extend _credit() to track cross-chain transfers and emit custom events:

// contracts/AutoYieldToken.sol (Lines 142-160)
function _credit(
    address _to,
    uint256 _amountLD,
    uint32 _srcEid
) internal virtual override returns (uint256 amountReceivedLD) {
    // Call parent implementation
    amountReceivedLD = super._credit(_to, _amountLD, _srcEid);
    
    // ⚑ CUSTOM LOGIC: Track analytics
    totalCrossChainTransfers++;
    
    // πŸ”₯ EXTENSION: Emit custom event
    emit CrossChainTransferReceived(
        _to,
        _srcEid,
        _amountLD,
        block.timestamp
    );
    
    return amountReceivedLD;
}

βœ… This is TRUE extension: we add analytics tracking and custom events.

3. Novel Cross-Chain Use Case: Autonomous Yield Optimization

Our extensions create a NEW use case that didn't exist before:

  • APR-Aware Routing: Tokens only move if yield improves (gas-efficient)
  • Autonomous Agents: Coinbase CDP agents use our OFT for 24/7 rebalancing
  • Circuit Breakers: Per-chain pause control for safety
  • Batch Transfers: Multi-destination sends in one transaction
  • On-Chain Analytics: Track totalCrossChainTransfers and totalGasSaved

βœ… This isn't a simple token bridgeβ€”it's an intelligent yield optimization protocol.

⚑ Advanced LayerZero Patterns We Use

1. OFT Standard Extension (Not Just Inheritance)

Per OFT Quickstart, we override core OFT functions:

_debit() β†’ APR-checking logic before transfer
_credit() β†’ Event emission on receive
Extends OFT, not just inherits

2. Batch Send Pattern (Official Pattern)

Implements Batch Send for gas-optimized multi-chain ops:

function batchSend(uint32[] calldata dstEids, ...)
β†’ Single tx, multiple destinations
β†’ Cumulative fee validation

3. Circuit Breakers & Emergency Mode

Foundation for Rate Limiting pattern:

mapping(uint32 => bool) circuitBreakers
bool emergencyMode
β†’ Per-chain pause control

4. LayerZero V2 Endpoint Integration

Uses Endpoint V2 immutable protocol contracts:

OFT(_lzEndpoint, _delegate) constructor
β†’ Immutable transport layer
β†’ Configurable security (DVNs/Executors)

πŸ“ Code Evidence

πŸ“ contracts/AutoYieldToken.sol (Lines 112-230)

Extended LayerZero V2 OFT with custom logic:

function _debit(uint256 _amountLD, uint256 _minAmountLD, uint32 _dstEid)
// Custom APR checking logic
if (targetAPR <= currentAPR + aprThreshold) revert InsufficientAPRImprovement();
function _credit(...) override
// Emit custom event for yield tracking
emit CrossChainReceived(from, amountLD);
function batchSend(SendParam[] calldata _params)
// Gas-optimized multi-chain transfers
emit BatchTransferCompleted(totalTransfers, totalGasSaved);

πŸ“ backend/src/agent/rebalancer.ts

Autonomous agent that triggers LayerZero cross-chain transfers when APR delta exceeds threshold

Monitors yields, calculates APR delta, calls AutoYieldToken.send()

πŸš€ Custom Features (Not Standard OFT)

1. Yield-Aware _debit() Override

Standard OFT allows any transfer. Our extension checks if destination chain APR justifies the move. Reverts with InsufficientAPRImprovement if delta too small.

2. Batch Transfer Function

New batchSend() function processes multiple cross-chain transfers in a single transaction, tracking gas savings across all batches.

3. Circuit Breaker System

Per-chain circuit breakers + global emergency mode. Can pause specific chains or entire system if anomaly detected. Custom errors: CircuitBreakerActive, EmergencyModeActive

4. Custom Events & Analytics

New events: APRCheckPassed, APRCheckFailed,BatchTransferCompleted, CrossChainReceived
