Today LayerZero is introducing a new claiming mechanism called Proof-of-Donation, which will result in ~$18.5 million donated to Protocol Guild, a collective funding mechanism for Ethereum developers. Protocol Guild and Ethereum's core developers have been fundamental to LayerZero's growth, driving the proliferation of the EVM, Ethereum's L2-centric roadmap, and... the broader crypto ecosystem. By donating to Protocol Guild, eligible recipients show long-term alignment with the LayerZero protocol and a commitment to the future of crypto. To claim ZRO, users must donate $0.10 in USDC, USDT, or native ETH per ZRO. This small donation goes directly to the Protocol Guild. The LayerZero Foundation is matching all donations up to $10 million. For details on claim information and Proof-of-Donation, read here: .show more

life is simple: grow a garden, help ethereum, claim $SHAPE shape is built on ethereum. so we’re pledging 1% of $SHAPE to the Protocol Guild, the org that houses the devs who make ethereum possible join the pledge! 50% of all mint proceeds from Leander Herzog’s “Infinite Garden” go to the protocol guild but gardening is hard work! so every garden has the chance to claim $SHAPE if you minted before mar 25 @ 1pm et, you’ve already secured your first claim of $SHAPE. for everyone else, the top 2000 addresses by flower count will also have a chance to claim. snapshot on apr 8

3 years since the launch of the Stargate Protocol. Stargate has since become the foundation of cross-chain liquidity, built on LayerZero and anchored to a simple user need: bridging the gaps of DeFi to unify chains, liquidity, and users. Since launch, Stargate has powered billions in transfer volume for millions of users, establishing itself as the go to bridging protocol in the marketplace. In 2024, Stargate V2 launched with Hydra, setting a new standard for Bridges by advancing compatibility, composability and providing the marketplace with a canonical solution. As Hydra continues to gain adoption, its ability to bootstrap liquidity and users to new chains strengthens, further accelerating the growth of the Omnichain. Stargate’s continued ambition aligns with its V2’s first-principle intention...Expansion.

In the second episode of Scenius Studio's mini-series "The Use-Case", I sit down with Andrej Co-Founder of touch grass. Grass gives users the ability to earn ownership in the Grass network by supplying the protocol with their unused internet bandwidth for data scraping purposes (something that is already happening to most of us and we don’t get paid!). The grass protocol packages this scraped web data and sells it to AI companies who have insufficient data to further develop their models. With over 3 millions users and millions of annualized revenue, Grass is a real commercial business with a roadmap that makes it one of the most exciting projects at the intersection of crypto x AI and data. In this episode we discuss: ➔ Andrej’s background in physics, finance, and sports betting ➔ Big companies using your IP address without your knowledge or permission ➔ How the Grass protocol puts a toll booth on your internet bandwidth highway ➔ Packaging web scraped data and selling it to AI companies building Multi-Modal models ➔ Dynamics between the Grass Protocol and the labs entity developing Grass’ IP ➔ Protocol design decisions to ensure that all tokenholders (VCs, team, and community) are aligned ➔ Why Grass needed to be built on crypto rails to maximize its potential ➔ The future of LLMs and how they will search for context and information Hope you enjoy this episode of Scenius Studio's "The Use-Case".

The average retail investor has been trained for a decade to be suspicious of crypto. I believe it's been intentional pre-legislation. Once passed like a flip of the switch the narrative shift will begin and the world will finally realize THE VALUE IS IN THE PROTOCOL and investing in XRP is the equivalent of investing in the HTTP protocol at the birth of the internet(or bigger).

Omnichain Ondo Finance! Ondo has integrated LayerZero to enable the transfer of its tokenized US Treasuries products, starting with USDY, across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Mantle Network. This is real-world yield onchain, on many chains. With $600+ million in TVL, Ondo's suite of RWAs is the largest in crypto, offering holders yield backed by US Treasuries. LayerZero equips Ondo with institutional-grade security for each RWA transfer, which includes a diverse set of decentralized verifier networks (DVNs). Three DVNs -- Axelar Network, Polyhedra, and LayerZero Labs -- verify each asset transfer, with plans for Ondo to eventually develop its own DVN. Today, USDY holders can seamlessly move between chains using Ondo's native bridge (powered by LayerZero) and Stargate! Read more about Ondo, LayerZero, and the OFT Standard ⬇️
