Andynom's Claims Regarding Layer Zero (For Reference Only) Andy, founder of media company The Rollup, tweeted the following about Layer Zero. This seems to sum up the expectations in the international market. First Tweet (10:23 PM) Rumors are spreading again. LayerZero is planning to launch its own chain, "Zero," which is "a decentralized, multi-core blockchain designed to function as an internet-scale marketplace infrastructure. By decoupling execution and verification using zero-knowledge proofs, Zero replaces redundant replication with proof-based verification, enabling horizontal scaling of execution while making verification lightweight and permissionless. Through Atomicity Zones, a protocol-proprietary parallel execution environment, Zero enables on-chain, verifiable global marketplaces by providing high-throughput, low-cost settlements without compromising security, governance, or state partitioning." Rumors suggest that LayerZero is also using Risc Zero for ZK proofs, ensuring extremely high throughput and eliminating redundancy in consensus. This project will definitely be the first of its kind blockchain. We'll know the exact details soon. Second tweet (11:06 PM) Update: Sources say it will be "much faster and more scalable" because they didn't use Risc Zero and built all their own technology. Also, I've heard that the first day on-chain partners are better than anyone expected. Tether also just announced a strategic investment in LayerZero. (Translator's note: Does this mean it's not Tether?) Third tweet: The list of partners could include: Ice Nasdaq CBOE Jump Citadel Ark WisdomTree VanEck Multicoin Sequoia x.com/andyyy/status/2021213513...
