# LayerZero V2 Stellar Contracts

> Overview of Stellar Soroban Contracts on LayerZero V2. Learn the architecture, features, and how to get started building crosschain applications on Stellar.

LayerZero extends its universal messaging protocol to [Stellar](https://stellar.org/) via [Soroban](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/build/smart-contracts/overview), Stellar's smart contract platform. Developers can now build **Omnichain Applications (OApps)** and **Omnichain Fungible Tokens (OFTs)** that connect Stellar to any LayerZero-supported chain.

Stellar Soroban contracts are written in **Rust** and compiled to WASM. LayerZero's Stellar integration follows the same protocol design as other supported chains, with Soroban-specific adaptations for authorization, storage, and token handling.

### Tooling and Resources

Stellar Soroban development uses Rust and the Stellar CLI. For more information, see the [Soroban Getting Started Guide](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/build/smart-contracts/getting-started/setup).

* **[Stellar CLI](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/tools/cli)**: Build, deploy, and interact with Soroban contracts.

* **[LayerZero Scan](https://layerzeroscan.com/)**: Track crosschain messages involving Stellar.

* **[Ecosystem Tools](https://docs.layerzero.network/v2/developers/ecosystem-tools.md)**: Explore community-built tools and integrations.
