LayerZero appears ready to roll out its Zero blockchain, according to screenshots of a now-deleted YouTube video posted by members of the crypto community on X.
The ZRO governance token has seen sharp fluctuations amid speculation. According to CoinGecko data, ZRO fell more than 15% to $1.7 following rumors about the new network.
The token gained 13% yesterday after the project made an announcement on social media. The team has yet to respond to the rumors circulating.
No great idea can be ignored forever.

The launch of the network would mark a major expansion of the interoperability project, which connects more than 150 blockchain networks.
LayerZero’s infrastructure leverages decentralized verification networks and lightweight node technology to facilitate trustless communication across chains without relying on conventional bridge architectures.
The protocol has attracted support from prominent venture capital firms including a16z and Sequoia, positioning it among the most well-funded projects in the cross-chain infrastructure space.
ZRO debuted in June 2024 as a 1 billion unit fixed supply token, serving governance and staking functions within the ecosystem.
