Andreessen Horowitz在Loysero上领先5500万美元，扩大了其Web3投资组合

该投资在4月17日X帖子中由该公司的普通合伙人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.

该公司普通合伙人Ali Yahya的周一X POST表示，风险投资公司Andreessen Horowitz（A16Z）已向LoyeZero投资了5500万美元，该公司运行了一个交叉链消息协议。

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的新投资是Yahya在更广泛的一部分中披露的，反思了该公司在Web3上的论文。他强调了该公司对人工智能，加密货币和生物学等技术的融合的信念。

"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.

他写道：“我们看到了一个未来，价值在协议，链条和方式之间无缝地流动，我们很高兴能投资于这种融合的先锋。”

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

该公司在LoyeZero和Phantom上的投资强调了这一论文，展示了该公司对启动构建链条不可吻合产品和协议的兴趣。

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的投资包括2022年3月的初步投资，以及在2023年4月的Lyzero系列B融资回合期间进行的投资。这些公司尚未透露资金回合的估值。

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.

总部位于加拿大的LoyeZero在其B系列资金回合中的价值为30亿加元，这使33名投资者参与。除了A16Z，Circle Ventures，OKX Ventures，Opensea Ventures，Sequoia Capital以及许多其他人当时也参加了比赛。

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).

据该庄园称，2025年1月，LoyeZero与FTX遗产达成了一项和解协议，这是由于指控的长期争议，该指控是通过“谈判消防交易”来利用交易所的流动性危机。 2024年6月，LayerZero启动了自己的代币LayerZero（ZRO）。

Crosschain protocols, chain-agnosticism gain traction

交叉链协议，链反应式增益牵引力

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.

交叉链消息传递协议允许程序可以在生态系统上共享信息，并且可以成为分散应用程序（DAPP）的关键功能，或者希望在区块链上无缝掉期的交易者。

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

与layerzero在同一空间中竞争的一些协议包括虫洞，星际之门，超级桥，连接等。

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.

虫洞可能是LoyesZero最大的竞争对手之一，在2023年11月筹集了2.25亿美元，估值为25亿美元。例如LoyeZero，蠕虫孔为其代币的蠕虫孔（W）举办了Airdrop，尽管Airdrop吸引了Scammers和Spoof代币。 ChainLink还具有一个交叉链互操作性协议，该协议允许区块链之间的消息传递。

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.

越来越多的公司正在意识到是含量或至少是链式不可能的价值。起初是以索拉纳为中心的钱包的幻影，现在支持六个主要区块链，包括比特币和以太坊。 NFT基础设施公司Magic Eden也以Solana为中心，但现在已经为多个区块链推出了市场。
