LayerZero has sparked a discussion with the release of its Zero World Computer architecture, with several overseas KOLs calling it the "most important blockchain since Ethereum."
BlockBeats News, February 11th, LayerZero recently released the new L1 architecture Zero, proposing ZK Proofs to decouple execution from validation, building a heterogeneous multi-core "world computer," and claiming to achieve 100x scalability while maintaining decentralization. The release has sparked extensive discussion in the overseas crypto community.
Crypto KOL foobar stated that Zero is "the most important blockchain since Ethereum," calling LayerZero the first to achieve 100x scalability while maintaining or even enhancing decentralization, and integrating various capabilities into a unified architecture. He also expressed optimism about its competitiveness in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).
Grant described the solution as "mind-blowing," stating that it was one of the "coolest" things he has read since entering the crypto industry, believing that if successfully implemented, LayerZero has the potential to enter the top ten protocols.
Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire said he attended LayerZero-related events, calling it a "historic" moment and describing it as a "huge leap forward" for blockchain technology.
Ansem called on the market to allocate more resources to support projects with Product-Market Fit (PMF) and listed LayerZero as one of them.
However, there have also been skeptical voices. Auri believes that the official article's wording shows a clear bias in comparison, presenting a cautious attitude towards the promotional narrative of "our technological brilliance vs. their outdated architecture." Crypto user doug funnie quoted Claude's analysis, pointing out that Zero is currently still in the whitepaper stage, with the mainnet scheduled to launch in the fall of 2026, and technical metrics (such as 2 million TPS/Zone) have not yet been tested in a production environment.
At the same time, its token ZRO currently has a relatively low circulation ratio, with significant unlocking pressure expected in the future. Analysis also points out that although partners such as Citadel, DTCC, ICE, Google Cloud, and Tether have been announced, the related statements are mostly about "exploring partnerships" and "assessing integration," and the actual implementation is still pending.
Currently, the market holds divergent views on Zero's technological breakthrough and commercial prospects. Supporters believe that its architectural innovation could reshape the performance boundaries of blockchain, while detractors are concerned about factors such as the product not yet being launched, tokenomics, and actual adoption progress.
