A critical vulnerability in LayerZero is being suspected by users, prompting CEO Bryan Pellegrino to address the concerns. Pellegrino emphasized that the protocol’s design permits apps to override configurations.
Additionally, the LayerZero ZRO token airdrop has faced disappointment from participants, as the token’s value has dropped by 15% since its launch. Despite these issues, Bryan Pellegrino has recently dismissed claims of a vulnerability in LayerZero.
Pellegrino Responds to LayerZero Vulnerability Claims on X
Responding on the X platform, Pellegrino clarified that the code in question dates back to 2022 and pertains to application configuration rather than the core protocol. He addressed concerns that the critical vulnerability suspected by users might be related to the protocol’s design.
Pellegrino emphasized that the payload size limit is part of the app’s security configuration, which allows the app to override this limit. He explained, “If the app couldn’t override this config, then LayerZero could block application messaging by setting the ‘payload limit’ to 0, which would contradict the entire design principle of the protocol.”
In his defense, Pellegrino urged skeptics to test the system themselves, stating, “Simply fork and test it, as I’m sure you confirmed back then. It’s not something that could be executed unless an application specifically chose to set it that way. Any messaging protocol that enshrines this configuration could potentially censor any application. We believe in censorship-resistant technology rails.”
LayerZero Labs Defends Technology Amid ZRO Token Airdrop Issues
LayerZero Labs continues to assert the robustness and reliability of its technology, which facilitates cross-chain interoperability. This technology allows smart contracts across different blockchains to interact, bridging value across isolated decentralized networks.
Recently, LayerZero began distributing its native ZRO tokens via an airdrop. Major crypto exchanges, including Binance and Upbit, have announced their listings of ZRO. However, the excitement surrounding the airdrop was tempered by participant frustration over the rewards, which many found disappointing. Currently, ZRO is trading at $3.46, reflecting a 15% decline since its launch.
