In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John Gillen sits down with Simon Baksys, Chief Business Officer at LayerZero, to unpack the company’s much bigger vision: a new high-performance Layer 1, institutional onchain markets, a “headless” exchange called Atlas, AI-agent payments, and potentially trillions of dollars moving onchain. LayerZero already powers cross-chain infrastructure for major assets and institutions. Now, with Xero, the team is building a blockchain designed to handle up to millions of transactions per second - performance aimed not just at DeFi, but at capital markets and high-frequency trading.
