**[LayerZero Co-Founder Clarifies: Zero Will Not Issue Any New Tokens, ZRO Is the Only Asset]** Foresight News reports that LayerZero co-founder Bryan Pellegrino stated, "Since announcing the launch of the Layer 1 blockchain Zero, there have been numerous speculations within a week about the role of ZRO in Zero and the tokenomics of ZRO. Let me clarify: Zero will not issue any new tokens, ZRO is the only asset. ZRO will serve as the staking asset and gas asset for Zero. All platform revenues—including priority fee surplus income, MEV/tip income, marketplace transaction fees, payment zone fees, and cross-chain message fees after LayerZero activates the fee switch—will flow to ZRO. The entire economic value generated by Zero, LayerZero, and Stargate will directly belong to ZRO holders." Additionally, institutional purchases, early investor buybacks, and LayerZero's own buybacks have collectively reached 19.77% of the total token supply, primarily used to purchase soon-to-be-unlocked shares. As a result, most publicly available data in the market has overestimated the unlock selling pressure by nearly twofold. The Zero mainnet is expected to go live this fall."
