LayerZero announced the launch of the Zero blockchain mainnet and lzATLAS trading infrastructure on November 30, 2026.
The network’s first application will be Open ATLAS, which will support more than 12 trading venues at launch. The number is expected to grow by the end of the year.
Initially, the network will focus on open financial markets. Institutional participants are already testing lzATLAS for trading U.S. stocks and fixed-income instruments in markets where daily trading and settlement volumes exceed $1 trillion.
Trading venues are preparing for launch by integrating the infrastructure and testing order execution and settlement under real market conditions.
The team promises to share more information about partners and system performance soon.
