According to ChainCatcher, Adam Cochran, a well-known KOL and partner of CEHV, said in response to Jupiter co-founder Meow on X that each project and its community is building its own chain, and Bryan Pellegrino (CEO of LayerZero) is like Mario building pipelines between these chains. This bridge is faster and more flexible than other participants who have taken longer to build.
Chainlink is to oracles as LayerZero is to cross-chain communication.
