a16z Crypto acquires $55M in LayerZero’s ZRO tokens with 3-year lock

Venture capital firm a16z Crypto has acquired an additional $55 million worth of LayerZero’s native token, ZRO, according to an announcement on X. 

The newly purchased tokens will be subject to a three-year lockup period, demonstrating the firm’s long-term commitment to the project.

The move builds on a16z’s previous backing of LayerZero, having led both the Series A+ and Series B funding rounds. 

General Partner Ali Yahya described LayerZero (ZRO) as critical infrastructure for a new onchain financial system, noting that the protocol enables new business models and complex workflows to operate across blockchain networks.

LayerZero positions itself as a foundational layer for interoperability, comparing its role to that of TCP/IP for the internet. It allows developers to build applications that function seamlessly across multiple chains. 

The protocol currently supports over 125 blockchains, facilitates 70% of stablecoin interoperability, and has processed more than 140 million messages and $75 billion in volume.

The announcement underscores growing investor confidence in infrastructure projects that enable cross-chain functionality. As blockchain adoption expands, LayerZero aims to become the default messaging protocol for connecting fragmented ecosystems in crypto.

On the news, ZRO jumped over 10%, according to CoinMarketCap data
