The community speculates that LayerZero is about to be airdropped because the "layerzero.foundation" domain name, which has not yet been put into use, added an SSL certificate on November 3. Since the "layerzero.foundation" domain name is highly consistent with the past update frequency of the "layerzero.network" domain name that has been determined to belong to the LayerZero project, the community speculates that this domain name is also managed by the LayerZero project.
According to Odaily statistics, every time the LayerZero project makes a major move, it often performs such operations on related domain names:
On September 7, 2022, the official announced the launch of the protocol browser LayerZero Scan. On September 5, an SSL certificate was added to the "layerzeroscan.com" domain name;
On October 19, 2022, it was officially announced that the Aptos cross-chain bridge was launched. On October 17, an SSL certificate was added to the "theaptosbridge.com" domain name;
On November 17, 2022, the official announced the launch of the Bitcoin cross-chain bridge. On November 16, an SSL certificate was added to the "bitcoinbridge.network" domain name;
On February 21, 2023, it was officially announced that the Goerli test network cross-chain bridge was launched. On February 20, an SSL certificate was added to the "testnetbridge.com" domain name;
Therefore, it can be speculated that LayerZero will most likely carry out some actions related to the “layerzero.foundation” domain name.
What needs to be made clear is that just an SSL certificate is not enough to prove that LayerZero will definitely be airdropped. Objectively speaking, this is just an initiative by the domain name owner to improve the quality of the infrastructure.
