Glacis Labs works to abstract away the difficulties with cross-chain actions.

Glacis Core: A Router and Firewall for Cross-Chain Messages

Glacis is a protocol that empowers developers to simplify, secure, and manage their cross-chain applications. Developers are shifting from single chain to multichain deployments to reach as many users as possible. By leveraging Glacis to aggregate cross-chain General Messaging Passing protocols (GMPs) such as Axelar, Wormhole, and LayerZero — commonly known as bridges — developers gain the ability to define routing and security logic for their cross-chain applications.

Glacis Airlift: A Universal Token Registry for Cross-Chain Token Standards

The current implementation of each token standard (OFT, NTT, ITS, CCT, WarpRoutes, xERC20) requires bespoke parameters for each of the assets being issued on these frameworks. While they leverage standardized validation and transport via the parent protocol, there is no standard way to use them all together. With Airlift, cross-chain transfer intricacies are abstracted away, allowing integrators of LI.FI to have 100s of more potential routes.
