LayerZero Begins Snapshot for Airdrop, Teases Future Drops
LayerZero has taken a snapshot as it gears up for its anticipated airdrop, scheduled for the first half of 2024. A snapshot typically precedes outflows as investors participating in airdrops often redistribute liquidity to other projects.
Developers of the cross-chain interoperability protocol hinted at additional airdrops in the pipeline, signaling ongoing developments within the ecosystem. The recent snapshot, labeled as “snapshot #1,” marks the first step in a series of planned airdrops.
LayerZero stands out as a protocol facilitating blockchain connectivity without relying on intermediaries. Currently utilized by platforms like Stargate and Radiant Capital, both experienced modest token gains following the confirmation of the snapshot.
In April, LayerZero secured $120 million in a Series B funding round, valuing the company at $3 billion. Notable investors in the round included Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital, indicating strong support for LayerZero’s vision.
As snapshots pave the way for potential outflows, investors utilizing protocols for airdrop allocations can strategically allocate liquidity to maximize their participation in various projects. Recent data from DefiLlama indicates a net outflow of $5 million from the Stargate bridge in the last 24 hours, with $43 million deposited and $48 million withdrawn.
