LayerZero Labs is marketing its forthcoming Zero Blockchain as capable of handling 2 million transactions per second per node, promising this throughput without sacrificing decentralization. The company says the breakthrough stems from rethinking on-chain storage and the application of zero-knowledge technology to scale. The project has already attracted notable institutional partners, including Citadel Securities, the DTCC, and ICE.
The Unchained podcast episode featuring LayerZero CEO Bryan Pellegrino frames the claim as a response to long-standing scalability challenges in blockchain networks. While specific architectural details remain proprietary, Pellegrino notes that improving storage efficiency and strategic use of zero-knowledge cryptography are central to the approach. Observers will watch how Zero Blockchain performs in practice and whether it can attract mainstream finance while preserving decentralization.
