lzCatalyst

lzCatalyst is LayerZero's ecosystem program designed to connect top builders with leading venture capital firms. The program focuses on supporting projects built on LayerZero's omnichain interoperability protocol, with participating VCs having the option to invest up to $300 million collectively in qualifying projects. This initiative targets teams building cross-chain applications and omnichain solutions using LayerZero's infrastructure, providing both technical support and access to significant capital.

The program operates as a matchmaking platform between builders and venture capital, with the collective investment capacity of up to $300 million available for deployment across selected projects. Teams that demonstrate strong technical capabilities, innovative use of LayerZero's protocol, and viable business models stand the best chance of securing funding. The selection process emphasizes projects that leverage LayerZero's cross-chain communication primitives to create novel omnichain applications. Successful applicants gain direct access to top-tier VC firms actively looking to invest in the LayerZero ecosystem.

To participate in lzCatalyst, teams should prepare comprehensive project documentation showcasing their use of LayerZero technology, team capabilities, and growth potential. While specific application deadlines are not mentioned on the website, the program appears to operate on an ongoing basis, connecting qualified builders with investors as opportunities arise.
