Is LayerZero's Zero an 'Ethereum Killer'?
LayerZero's upcoming Zero chain, developed in collaboration with Wall Street giants like Citadel Securities and DTCC, aims for 200 million TPS and ultra-low transaction fees. Rather than being an "Ethereum killer," Zero is positioned as a complementary scaling solution that amplifies Ethereum’s ecosystem.
Technically, Zero uses innovations like QMDB and FAFO for high-speed execution but relies on Ethereum for security via ZK-proof bridging. It supports EVM compatibility, allowing easy DApp migration without code rewrites. This design makes Zero an "external execution layer" rather than a replacement.
Economically, while some value may initially migrate, Zero’s cross-chain bridge (OFT standard) is expected to route value back to Ethereum, especially in RWA (Real World Asset) settlements. Its low fees target high-frequency TradFi use cases, with Ethereum serving as the security anchor.
Ecosystem-wise, Zero enhances Ethereum’s role as a multi-chain hub. It enables hybrid deployments (execution on Zero, governance on Ethereum) and attracts non-crypto users through TradFi partnerships, ultimately strengthening Ethereum’s position in the expanding RWA landscape.
