Personal News: joined @LayerZero_Core as Head of Special Projects and moved to Vancouver earlier this year. Ready to shape how value flows across networks and build apps on infra that matters. All roads lead back to LayerZero
Really love to see @LayerZero_Core being included in almost any new solution to many outstanding multichain problems. LayerZero is now a critical part of every stack. Build things people will use, build for maximum utility. That is how you win
Multichaining is still tough! This is a review of cross-chain work by our engineer Roman. While porting, he accidentally discovered a bug in commonly used infrastructure, inadvertently helping protocols like Aave, Frax and StakeDAO to stay safe news.curve.finance/curve-block-or…
Initia's rollup framework is like Costco — less choices, higher quality, wholesale prices. ty @LayerZero_Core, @celestia, @cosmos We built an opinionated stack to create shared multichain standards while giving developers freedom on the choices that do matter: VMs and…

Getting back into long-form writing: excerpt from @LayerZero_Core's Q2 2025 Protocol Update Letter to Investors What started as solving fragmented assets became infrastructure for largest wealth transfer in history. $ZRO
We are witnessing the emergence of a new stablecoin stack. One that redefines how stablecoins are issued, discovered, moved, and used. Together, these components are turning stablecoins into the universal liquidity layer of digital finance. Let’s dive in ↓
2024 was in many ways the centralization cycle. Decentralized primitives lost out to centralized apps across the board. Ethereum decentralization -> L2 multisigs Uniswap immutability -> Jupiter frontends Seaport programmability -> Ordinals offchain orders Metam*sk selfcustody ->…
The future will be defined by applications which think bigger than our industry. Global Token Exchange is accelerating beyond app wars to represent a new paradigm of financial products which leverage blockchains to just be better. Congrats @GTE_XYZ.
Today, we’re proud to announce that GTE has raised a $15m Series A from @Paradigm to scale the Global Token Exchange. We’ll use this capital to ship products even faster. Because where we’re from, we not satisfied with being fast — we want to be the fastest. Now back to work.
2/ New transfer experience now with two modes: → Simple: Click less. Move faster. → Advanced: Grid layout. Streamlined. Total Control. + Plus a suite of UX improvements. Moving money onchain has never been easier.
Today we are introducing OneSig, an open-source solution for executing any number of transactions across any number of blockchains with a single signature. Security has always been one of the defining issues in crypto and on the back of the recent ByBit hack and Safe front-end…
MAINNET IS LIVE with @initia (and @celestia underneath) Memes don’t just launch anymore - they enter the Chains of Chaos, a strategy game where tokens battle for liquidity. Welcome to Embr ⚔️🔥
Spot is my single biggest bull case for hl, think it’s a way bigger catalyst than hyperEVM. I think as the perp dex side gets more competitive hyperliquid can win onchain spot volumes for majors (particularly $BTC which is hard af to buy). And yeah listing more tickers, not…
LayerZero continues to lay down the rails to connecting the internet Hyperliquid

An application's final destination. Initia Mainnet is live.
a16z were some of our earliest believers and are doubling down on the core LayerZero mission -- to build a better internet Today LayerZero has 75%+ marketshare, $100B+ in assets and rapidly growing transfer volumes now at ~$6B/month. @LayerZero_Core is going to continue to…
I’m excited to announce that we’ve invested an additional $55M in @LayerZero_Core tokens (ZRO), with a 3-year lockup. Our global financial system is evolving, and it's great to see the protocol enabling many new businesses and complex workflows to move onchain.
