LayerZero

Allowing Blockchain Networks to Talk to Each Other — LayerZero is building the core messaging protocol to power cross-chain communications between blockchains. The company is building a trustless protocol that lets users send tokens or any kind of message in a single transaction across apps that live on different chains.

We bet on what becomes unavoidable.

Why we invested

As more blockchains come online, moving information and value between them stops being a nice-to-have and becomes essential infrastructure. Categories like that tend to reward the companies that establish trust early, because their value grows alongside the ecosystem itself. LayerZero is building exactly that kind of foundation, with the technical rigor and long-term thinking required to become infrastructure others could rely on. That's the kind of company we're drawn to. One solving a problem that only becomes more important as the market matures.

Partnership

Building foundational infrastructure requires long-term thinking, and we've approached our partnership the same way. From the beginning, we've supported the team through recruiting, ecosystem introductions, and the operational challenges that come with building a company at the center of a rapidly evolving market. As LayerZero has grown, we've stayed closely involved, showing up consistently rather than waiting for moments of crisis. That's the kind of partnership we aim to build, one that's measured over years, not individual milestones.

What we do for them

  • Recruiting support for open technical and design roles
  • Introductions to ecosystem partners and institutional contacts
  • Guidance through complex token distribution and ecosystem coordination
  • Portfolio network access, including other MVP companies as customers
