Wyoming stable token commission migrates FRNT to Chainlink CCIP
The Wyoming Stable Token Commission says FRNT now uses Chainlink CCIP exclusively after a migration from LayerZero, citing security standards and a multi-year contract.
The Wyoming Stable Token Commission says it has fully migrated the Frontier Stable Token, or FRNT, to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol as its exclusive cross-chain infrastructure.
The commission said the change follows a security review and a multi-year contract with Chainlink. It said FRNT was initially deployed using LayerZero’s omnichain fungible token standard, but the commission later chose to deprecate that implementation.
FRNT is the state’s stable token and is tied to Wyoming’s effort to build a public-sector digital asset program. The commission said FRNT is designed for payments, settlement and other government uses. It also said reserve income is intended to help diversify state revenues and support Wyoming’s School Foundation Program.
According to the release, FRNT is backed by U.S. dollars and short-term U.S. Treasuries. The commission said the token is available on Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Hedera, Optimism, Polygon and Solana.
The commission said FRNT launched in January 2026, after the Wyoming Stable Token Commission was established in March 2023 under the Wyoming Stable Token Act. The release also said a Nov. 8, 2023 letter from Wyoming’s Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology and Digital Innovation Technology encouraged a multi-chain, technology-neutral approach.
Anthony Apollo, executive director of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, said the agency has a responsibility to protect the people, businesses and institutions that rely on FRNT. He said adopting Chainlink CCIP gives the commission secure cross-chain infrastructure that meets the standard citizens deserve.
Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, said Wyoming upgraded FRNT to Chainlink CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain infrastructure.
The release also described Chainlink CCIP as using defense-in-depth security, SOC 2 Type 2 certification and decentralized validation by at least 16 node operators per transaction. Those claims came from the company’s release and were not independently verified in the brief.
The release did not say whether any further technical changes are planned.
