According to ChainCatcher, LayerZero CEO Bryan Pellegrino responded to community members' questions about the code on social platforms, saying that these accusations are unfounded. The code cited by community members was released in 2022, and these configurations are security configurations for applications, not protocol configurations. Even in the latest version, applications can still override this restriction to prevent LayerZero from blocking message delivery by configuring the "load limit" to 0.

Pellegrino emphasized that this is not a vulnerability, but a design principle of the protocol to ensure the censorship resistance of the technical infrastructure.
