LayerZero Labs raises $135M in a funding round led by Sequoia Capital, FTX Ventures, a16z
The onmichain decentralized applications protocol developer to hold multiple blockchains, LayerZero Labs, has announced that it has raised $135 million in a Series A+ investment round.
LayerZero reaches a $1 billion valuation
The $135 million funding, which aims to accelerate the development of its namesake protocol, has helped LayerZero reach a valuation of $1 billion.Major venture groups and investors such as Sequoia Capital, FTX Ventures, and Andreessen Horowitz co-led the funding round which saw notable participation from PayPal Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Uniswap Labs, Tiger Global, among others.
The primary goal of the new funding is to unite applications such as gaming, NFTs, media apps, marketplaces, for making them operable across multi-chain realms.
Talking about the concurrent goals of companies, CEO and co-founder of LayerZero, Bryan Pellegrino, said:
“We’ve brought some of the best and most well-respected entities in the world together to accomplish the same goal: create the generic messaging layer that underpins all interoperability between blockchains.”LayerZero, which can be considered as the underlying technology upon which other applications can be built, has several potential new use cases in mind that include: games and Media applications having high throughput transactions relocated to one blockchain with NFT trading onto other blockchains with the high liquid markets; DeFi applications using trading, lending and borrowing across multiple blockchains.
LayerZero’s innovations
This achievement propels LayerZero Labs closer to its goal of making crypto more accessible to end-users, driving the inevitable adoption of digital assets. The LayerZero team believes that dApps created on the platform would isolate blockchains from their apps, instead of leveraging the power of multiple blockchains to create world-class crypto user experiences.Cross-chain liquidity transfer protocol, Stargate, whose integration on Sushi has been recommended by the SushiSwap community, is also launched by LayerZero Labs, following the beta launch of LayerZero.
The LayerZero protocol will be integrated with non-Ethereum Virtual Machine blockchains like Solana and Terra in the months ahead, according to the developers. Ryan Zarick, LayerZero Labs' CTO and co-founder, explained:
“LayerZero unlocks a future of blockchains without borders. Users will interact with omnichain dApps that exist on multiple blockchains. These dApps will seamlessly communicate over LayerZero without the user even realizing it.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
