ZRO Updates
More ZRO has been bought back and locked up than sold into the market. Institutions and buybacks have taken 19.77% of supply in 18 months, while 63.8% of ZRO unlocked to investors still hasn't moved. $112.7M has gone into ZRO buybacks since September 2025, one of the largest programs in crypto.
ZRO is the only asset in the LayerZero ecosystem. All economic value from Zero, LayerZero, and Stargate flows back to it.
Every token expresses a view. ZRO's first was that there'd be many chains, no single winner, and value would accrue to whatever connected them. Now LayerZero has moved $267B across 165 chains.
The next view is bigger. Money and markets are the two largest waves finance will ever see, and both are already onchain. Zero was built for this moment. Coming this fall.
We are starting to scale our growth team and are actively hiring to join me, @PaikCapital, @paik_michael, @foobiusV, @paik_michael, and more.
Looking for someone that will work directly with me to work on Twitter strategies exclusively.
In-person, 6-days a week, in SoHo, NY.
The requirements are as follows:
- Must be terminally online (12+ hours of screentime a day)
- Must be able to sit in a chair for long periods of time (think 4-5 hours straight without a break)
- Must be extremely fluent in memetic warefare and deeply native at communicating in a text-based and image based format.
That's it. This will be a life changing role and your work will be seen by millions of people around the world.
If this sounds like you, DM me.
We do not care if you do not live in NYC, we will help you relocate.
Bonus points if you can name where this picture is from.
The only token that I am focused on this year is ethereum:0x6985884c4392d348587b19cb9eaaf157f13271cd.
From the article linked below, ZRO is:
“a superstructure: interoperability, settlement, payments, and capital markets, all converging into one token.”
ZRO:
- Monopolized interoperability and remain the dominant bridge by far.
- Works with the leading stablecoin companies such as @USDT0_to and @ethena to ensure seamlessly liquidity everywhere.
- Is actively completing buy backs every day, with more to come from trading fees, gas fees, and more on Zero.
- Has an extremely aligned token holder base (as shown by the unlock to sell ratio in the article below).
This isn’t even mentioning the most important thing:
Zero, the L1 blockchain, is a genuine breakthrough in terms of scalability.
Every blockchain before was a step function improvement from Bitcoin.
Bitcoin does around 3-7 tps, Ethereum 15-25 tps, L2s 1,000-10,000, Hyperliquid 20,000-200,000 and Zero stands head and shoulders above at 2,000,000 per zone.
This throughput increase combined with horizontal scalability makes applications like @GTE_XYZ which are built on Zero as scalable as web2 products without facing any limiting constraints.
This means we can scale incentives and growth programs at the same level as other network effect companies, such as Uber, Robinhood, and other companies who could only scale by offloading their infrastructure to the cloud.
No other web3 company / app will have this ability unless they build on Zero.
This manifests into a product experience like we have built. Some of you have already seen it and realized that what we’ve done is genuinely better than anything that currently exists at the trading level than whatever currently exists.
And we only plan to get better. And they’ll be there to scale with us when we need it. Because we’re going for trillions.
To summarize:
- Most liquid stablecoin already using their tech.
- Best DeFi yield stablecoin using their tech.
- Good buybacks + more coming + unlock / sell ratio.
- Some of the largest institutions in the world signed up to contribute to Zero.
Yeah, I’m willing to bet on this token.

Just spent the past day in DC with the office of various different senators specifically focused on the CLARITY Act.
There is genuine support across both Dems and Repubs to pass the bill and give DeFi founders a framework to continue to developing products for Americans, in America.
The last sticking point is around ethics and some minor reconciliation across versions — which both sides seem eager to work out.
While nothing is certain, if I was a betting man, I’d bet on us getting some guidance soon.
American DeFi.
We are hiring for another designer to join our team at @GTE_XYZ.
We are looking for people who are based out of NYC. In-person in our office in SoHo. 6 days a week.
Any experience level, only requirement is you must be extremely AI-native.
If this is you, DM me.
We’re sharing our completed post-mortem on the April 18th incident, prepared with @Mandiant and @CrowdStrike. We are publishing both an executive summary and the full report at the link below.
Over the past four weeks, we’ve worked with hundreds of partners to help them understand their current security posture, and harden it where appropriate. We’ll continue this work, alongside taking additional proactive steps for the benefit of not only our partners, but also the ecosystem as a whole.
We want to extend our thanks to our partners for their support and patience this past month. There’s a reason that over $12 billion has moved across the network in the past four weeks, and why the world’s most valuable asset issuers have stood by our side: they believe in us, in what the LayerZero protocol has to offer, and in the value of modular, isolated, application-controlled security.
The work continues. And we look forward to continue showing up for the applications that trust us with their business, as well as the broader ecosystem.
