ZRO launched in June 2024 with an initial fully diluted valuation of around $3.0 billion. The foundation distributed 8.5% of the token supply through an airdrop on launch day to bootstrap community participation. LayerZero’s protocol connects over 50 blockchains and has facilitated more than 100 million cross-chain messages since launch, enhancing liquidity across decentralized applications.
