Andreessen Horowitz在Loysero上領先5500萬美元，擴大了其Web3投資組合

該投資在4月17日X帖子中由該公司的普通合夥人Ali Yahya披露。

Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, has invested an additional $55 million in LayerZero, a Web3 company that runs a crosschain messaging protocol, according to a Monday X post by Ali Yahya, a general partner at the firm.

該公司普通合夥人Ali Yahya的周一X POST表示，風險投資公司Andreessen Horowitz（A16Z）已向LoyeZero投資了5500萬美元，該公司運行了一個交叉鏈消息協議。

A16z’s new investment was disclosed as part of a broader note by Yahya reflecting on the firm’s thesis on Web3. He highlighted the firm’s belief in the convergence of technologies like artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and biology.

A16Z的新投資是Yahya在更廣泛的一部分中披露的，反思了該公司在Web3上的論文。他強調了該公司對人工智能，加密貨幣和生物學等技術的融合的信念。

"We see a future where value flows seamlessly across protocols, chains, and modalities—and we’re excited to be investing in the vanguard of this convergence," he wrote.

他寫道：“我們看到了一個未來，價值在協議，鏈條和方式之間無縫地流動，我們很高興能投資於這種融合的先鋒。”

The firm’s investments in LayerZero and Phantom highlight this thesis, showcasing the firm’s interest in startups building chain-agnostic products and protocols.

該公司在LoyeZero和Phantom上的投資強調了這一論文，展示了該公司對啟動構建鏈條不可吻合產品和協議的興趣。

A16z’s previous investments in LayerZero include an initial investment in March 2022 and a subsequent investment during LayerZero’s Series B funding round in April 2023. The companies have not disclosed the funding round’s valuation.

A16Z以前在LoyeZero的投資包括2022年3月的初步投資，以及在2023年4月的Lyzero系列B融資回合期間進行的投資。這些公司尚未透露資金回合的估值。

The Canada-based LayerZero was valued at $3 billion during its Series B funding round, which saw participation from 33 investors. In addition to a16z, Circle Ventures, OKX Ventures, OpenSea Ventures, Sequoia Capital, and many others participated at the time.

總部位於加拿大的LoyeZero在其B系列資金回合中的價值為30億加元，這使33名投資者參與。除了A16Z，Circle Ventures，OKX Ventures，Opensea Ventures，Sequoia Capital以及許多其他人當時也參加了比賽。

In January 2025, LayerZero reached a settlement with the FTX Estate over a long-running dispute stemming from allegations that it exploited the exchange’s liquidity crisis by “negotiating a fire-sale transaction,” according to the Estate. In June 2024, LayerZero launched its own token, LayerZero (ZRO).

據該莊園稱，2025年1月，LoyeZero與FTX遺產達成了一項和解協議，這是由於指控的長期爭議，該指控是通過“談判消防交易”來利用交易所的流動性危機。 2024年6月，LayerZero啟動了自己的代幣LayerZero（ZRO）。

Crosschain protocols, chain-agnosticism gain traction

交叉鏈協議，鏈反應式增益牽引力

Crosschain messaging protocols allow programs to share information across ecosystems and can be a critical function for decentralized applications (DApps) or traders who want seamless swaps across blockchains.

交叉鏈消息傳遞協議允許程序可以在生態系統上共享信息，並且可以成為分散應用程序（DAPP）的關鍵功能，或者希望在區塊鏈上無縫掉期的交易者。

Some protocols competing in the same space as LayerZero include Wormhole, Stargate, Superbridge, Connext, and many others.

與layerzero在同一空間中競爭的一些協議包括蟲洞，星際之門，超級橋，連接等。

Wormhole may be one of the largest competitors to LayerZero, having raised $225 million at a $2.5 billion valuation in November 2023. Like LayerZero, Wormhole hosted an airdrop for its token, Wormhole (W), although the airdrop attracted scammers and spoof tokens. Chainlink also has a crosschain interoperability protocol that allows for messaging between blockchains.

蟲洞可能是LoyesZero最大的競爭對手之一，在2023年11月籌集了2.25億美元，估值為25億美元。例如LoyeZero，蠕蟲孔為其代幣的蠕蟲孔（W）舉辦了Airdrop，儘管Airdrop吸引了Scammers和Spoof代幣。 ChainLink還具有一個交叉鏈互操作性協議，該協議允許區塊鏈之間的消息傳遞。

More and more companies are realizing the value of being omnichain or at least chain-agnostic. Phantom, which at first was a Solana-centric wallet, now supports six major blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Magic Eden, an NFT-infrastructure company, also started as Solana-centric but has launched marketplaces for multiple blockchains now.

越來越多的公司正在意識到是含量或至少是鍊式不可能的價值。起初是以索拉納為中心的錢包的幻影，現在支持六個主要區塊鏈，包括比特幣和以太坊。 NFT基礎設施公司Magic Eden也以Solana為中心，但現在已經為多個區塊鏈推出了市場。
