LayerZero Labs announced on X Platform that Symbiotic will be available on LayerZero. Through Ethena Labs, Symbiotic will be integrated into the LayerZero DVN framework, enabling users to stake ENA to secure cross-chain transfers of Ethena assets.

According to official news, LayerZero is integrating IOTA EVM into its cross-chain protocol to achieve seamless interoperability and communication with many ecosystems from the wider Web3 space, such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Optimism. Earlier, IOTA announced the launch of its EVM mainnet, a fully EVM-compatible layer 2 solution for the IOTA network that has been fully audited and field-tested. IOTA EVM introduces features such as smart contracts, cross-chain capabilities, parallel processing, and enhanced security for miner extractable value (MEV).

LayerZero Labs said on the X platform that the first half of 2024 is coming to an end, which means that the timeline for TGE is getting closer. Please note that all applications should ensure that the contract information is registered on LayerZero Scan, and it is expected to see continuous updates in the coming months.

LayerZero co-founder and CEO Bryan Pellegrino conducted community communication on the official Telegram channel regarding the recent addition of an SSL certificate to the "layerzero.foundation" domain name. Pellegrino said that the SSL was not added by the LayerZero team, but also admitted that the domain name is indeed owned by the LayerZero team. Bryan said: "This is indeed our domain name. I specifically asked the security manager and he said that we did not add the SSL certificate and he was checking to see how this happened." According to news on November 5, the community speculated that LayerZero is about to be airdropped because the “layerzero.foundation” domain name, which has not yet been put into use, added an SSL certificate on November 3. Since the "layerzero.foundation" domain name is highly consistent with the past update frequency of the "layerzero.network" domain name that has been determined to belong to the LayerZero project, the community speculates that this domain name is also managed by the LayerZero project.

According to Odaily statistics, every time the LayerZero project makes a major move, it often performs such operations on related domain names: On September 7, 2022, the official announced the launch of the protocol browser LayerZero Scan. On September 5, an SSL certificate was added to the "layerzeroscan.com" domain name; On October 19, 2022, it was officially announced that the Aptos cross-chain bridge was launched. On October 17, an SSL certificate was added to the "theaptosbridge.com" domain name; On November 17, 2022, the official announced the launch of the Bitcoin cross-chain bridge. On November 16, an SSL certificate was added to the "bitcoinbridge.network" domain name; On February 21, 2023, it was officially announced that the Goerli test network cross-chain bridge was launched. On February 20, an SSL certificate was added to the "testnetbridge.com" domain name; Therefore, it can be speculated that LayerZero will most likely carry out some actions related to the “layerzero.foundation” domain name. What needs to be made clear is that just an SSL certificate is not enough to prove that LayerZero will definitely be airdropped. Objectively speaking, this is just an initiative by the domain name owner to improve the quality of the infrastructure.

Odaily Planet Daily News LayerZero announced the launch of opBNB. Developers building on BNB Chain can now extend their applications to opBNB and more than 40 other chains with LayerZero endpoints.
