LayerZero Airdrop Details

Status: Potential. LayerZero hasn’t announced a second $ZRO airdrop (as of 7 October 2026). The first distribution’s claim ran from 20 June to 20 September 2024 and is closed.

  • Future distribution: the LayerZero Foundation reserves 15.3% of the ZRO supply for distributions “through future Snapshots and methods such as RFPs”, in its words. It has published no date, snapshot or criteria
  • Eligibility: none published for a second round. Round 1’s core share went by protocol fees paid before its snapshot, 25 to 5,000 ZRO a wallet
  • Cost: gas and bridge fees on every transaction, with no airdrop promised in return
  • Claim path: no claim is open. The claim page and the eligibility checker on layerzero.foundation both returned a 404 on 7 October 2026. Start from layerzero.network

Warning: a site offering a ZRO claim or a “late claim” today isn’t one LayerZero has announced. In 2024 the Foundation said the only official claim link would come from @LayerZero_Fndn on X.

How to Prepare for a Potential LayerZero Airdrop

Step 1: Fund a wallet on Ethereum, Arbitrum or Base

Arbitrum, Base and Ethereum were among the seven chains of the 2024 ZRO claim and all three run on Stargate. You can buy crypto on Bybit and withdraw it to your wallet, or bring funds over from another chain with the bridge widget below.

Step 2: Bridge through Stargate

Open Stargate (the bridge LayerZero acquired in 2025) and move $ETH or stablecoins between two chains. Stargate has sent every transfer by Taxi, its immediate route, since 1 October 2026. Round 1 deweighted transactions under $1 by 80%, so a few real transfers beat a pile of dust.

Step 3: Send an OFT token to another chain

OFT is LayerZero’s token standard. $USDT0 and Ethena‘s $USDe both use LayerZero, by the Foundation’s own list, so moving either one to another chain sends a LayerZero message and pays its fee.

Step 4: Convert any STG to ZRO

If you still hold $STG, convert it on Stargate at the fixed rate of 1 STG = 0.08634 ZRO. Stargate takes your whole balance in one go and has you move STG to Ethereum first, one chain at a time, as its conversion guide explains. Conversions stop after 15 December 2026.

Step 5: Follow the LayerZero Foundation

Follow @LayerZero_Fndn on X and the Foundation’s blog, the two places that announced round 1. Treat a claim link from anyone else as phishing.

Risks and Considerations

No second airdrop has been announced, so every fee you pay for one is a bet. Round 1 ran sybil filtering with Nansen and Chaos Labs and kept about 10M ZRO away from flagged wallets, which makes a farm of fresh wallets the likeliest way to get nothing. CoinGecko listed ZRO at $2.11 on 7 October 2026, 71.7% below its $7.47 high of 6 December 2024. Investors and core contributors are allocated 57.7% of supply on three-year schedules, unlocking monthly after a one-year lock. Read our airdrop safety guide before you connect a wallet to anything promising ZRO.

Conclusion

If you bridge or move stablecoins across chains anyway, route it through Stargate or an OFT and you’ve done what round 1 measured at no extra cost. If you’d bridge only to farm a second ZRO airdrop, skip it for now. LayerZero hasn’t named a snapshot or a rule, so you’d be paying fees to guess. STG holders have the one real deadline on this page, 15 December 2026. If you came here to claim, the claims that are open now are a better use of your time. NFA, DYOR: fees spent farming a round nobody has announced don’t come back.

BRIDGE ASSETS

What is LayerZero

LayerZero is an interoperability protocol that lets apps and tokens send messages between blockchains. By June 2026 it supported more than 170 chains, Ethereum and Solana among them. It had carried over $270 billion in value and 161 million messages, by the LayerZero Foundation’s count. Tokens such as USDT0, USDe and $WBTC use it.

ZRO went live with the first claim on 20 June 2024, with a fixed supply of 1 billion. LayerZero acquired the Stargate bridge in 2025 and is folding STG into ZRO. In February 2026 it announced Zero, its own blockchain, with ZRO as the staking token.
