LayerZero’s Growth Amidst Funding by Top Investors
LayerZero is a blockchain interoperability project aiming to facilitate communication across different blockchain networks. It employs an Ultra Light Node (ULN) and decentralized oracle networks, enabling efficient message transmission between blockchains. This capability is important for the creation and functioning of cross-chain applications.
As of December 7, 2023, LayerZero has achieved significant user engagement, with 3.4 million users interacting with its protocol, according to a CoinGecko report.
The company’s announcement follows successful fundraising efforts. Earlier this year, LayerZero closed two separate venture capital rounds, raising $255 million and tripling its valuation to $3 billion.
These funding rounds were led and co-led by notable investors such as Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), the venture capital arm of crypto exchange giant FTX, and Sequoia Capital. These followed a $2 million seed funding round and a $6 million Series A round.
LayerZero Labs has since strategically used its venture capital funding to improve its cross-chain messaging and interoperability framework. This enhancement permits developers of decentralized applications to establish secure connections across diverse blockchains.
LayerZero’s services are used by various on-chain applications, specifically decentralized exchanges such as PancakeSwap and Uniswap.
