LayerZero releases Zero World computing architecture sparks heated discussion, with multiple overseas KOLs calling it "the most important blockchain since Ethereum"
BlockBeats News, February 11 — LayerZero recently announced a new L1 architecture called Zero, which proposes decoupling execution and verification using ZK proofs to build a heterogeneous multi-core “world computer,” claiming to achieve 100x scalability while maintaining decentralization. The announcement has sparked widespread discussion in the overseas crypto community.
Crypto influencer foobar stated that Zero is “the most important blockchain since Ethereum,” claiming that LayerZero has achieved 100x scalability while maintaining or even enhancing decentralization for the first time, integrating various capabilities into a unified architecture. He also expressed optimism about its competitiveness in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization space.
Grant described the solution as “stunning” and said it is one of the “coolest” things he has read since entering the crypto industry. He believes that if successfully implemented, LayerZero has the potential to enter the top ten protocols.
Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire said he attended a LayerZero-related event that was “historic” and called it a “huge leap forward” for blockchain technology.
Ansem urged the market to focus more resources on projects with clear product-market fit (PMF), listing LayerZero as one of them.
However, there are also skeptics. Auri believes the official article’s wording shows a clear contrast, saying “our technology is brilliant vs. their outdated architecture,” indicating a cautious attitude toward the promotional narrative. Crypto user Doug Funnie cited Claude’s analysis, pointing out that Zero is still in the white paper stage, with mainnet planned for fall 2026, and technical metrics (such as 2 million TPS per zone) have not yet been validated in a production environment.
Meanwhile, its token ZRO currently has a low circulating supply, with significant unlocking pressure ahead. Analysts also noted that although partnerships with Citadel, DTCC, ICE, Google Cloud, Tether, and others were announced, most statements are about “exploring collaborations” and “evaluating integrations,” with actual implementation still to be seen.
Currently, market opinions on Zero’s technological breakthroughs and commercial prospects are divided. Supporters believe its architectural innovation could reshape blockchain performance boundaries, while skeptics are concerned about the fact that the product is not yet live, as well as risks related to tokenomics and actual adoption progress.
