LayerZero $ZRO has finally issued an apology after days of backlash over its slow response and lack of transparency surrounding the infrastructure incident tied to KelpDAO. But in crypto, trust can disappear faster than a cascading red candle By the time the apology arrived, major projects had already started “moving out” to Chainlink’s CCIP: KelpDAO: around $1.5B TVL Solv Protocol: around $600M TVL re: — around $200M TVL Nearly $2 billion in TVL is now drifting away from the LayerZero ecosystem, a number big enough to shake market confidence What makes this even more critical is that major players like Ethena’s USDe, EtherFi’s weETH, and Tether’s USDT0 are still building on LayerZero. The future of LayerZero may now depend entirely on whether it can keep these giants from leaving In crypto, technology can be rebuilt, but trust is far harder to recover. The coming weeks could determine whether LayerZero remains a dominant omnichain force, or becomes another example of how quickly sentiment can turn in this market #TetherBurns2BUSDT #KelpDAOAttackerLiqd $ZRO $ETH
