Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has invested an additional $55 million in LayerZero (ZRO) tokens, with a three-year lockup period. This investment follows a16z's previous leadership in LayerZero's Series A+ and Series B funding rounds in 2022 and 2023, respectively. LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol that currently holds over 75% market share, manages assets exceeding $100 billion, and processes transfer volumes of approximately $6 billion per month. Following the announcement of the private token sale, LayerZero's token price rose by around 9-10%. In a separate development, Linera, a layer-1 blockchain focused on scalability through microchains, has raised $12 million in seed funding across two rounds. Andreessen Horowitz led the first $6 million seed round in June 2022. Linera recently launched the second stage of its Babbage testnet and is conducting incentive programs that may be linked to future token airdrops.
