Battlestar

It should be extremely obvious where the puck is heading. We chose to build with @LayerZero_Core not only because their team is world class, but because of their ability to ship true 0-1 innovations that attract the largest players in the world. They solved interop with $200B+ moved across chains, and now they're solving the blockchain scaling problem from first principles. GTE will be the global frontend for the tokenization movement and traders will only benefit from the speed, colocation, and UX improvements never seen before. GTE x LayerZero.

Internet businesses will use internet money. Whop x Tether prob the greatest example of retail flow for this. Stripe x Tempo a good example of b2b flow. GTE will be the marketplace for any asset <> stables. Extremely bullish on crypto, young people creating new ways to build businesses, and global markets to tie it all together.

This playbook is immediately obviously to anyone with eyes after spending a single day in China. Drive around a major metro, you will see a car that looks IDENTICAL to a Tesla, even down to the air conditioning UI on the freeway, and then only when you see the back badge do you realize that it’s a random Chinese brand. Same thing that happened with EVs is happening with AI right now. Ultimately, Beijing wants to compete in AI and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they don’t fall behind. Adjust your framing accordingly based off the information that the closed-source models will just be re-released with some extra Chinese training data after 2-3 months max.

Many at our launch event last night referred to it as "historic". It was. Years of hard work, sleepless nights, flights all over the world, stress, arguments, and more. All so so worth it. Our mission is to build permissionless infrastructure for a better world. And we are doing so with the best organizations on the planet to bring this technology to reality: @ARKInvest, @The_DTCC, @ICE_Markets, @NYSE, @citsecurities, @Google, @tether, @GTE_XYZ, @a16z, @sequoia, and others. Thank you to everyone involved, building with us, investing in us, supporting us. The inevitable future begins. @mblaugrund, @CathieDWood, @nchakar, @shaunmmaguire, @paoloardoino, @BoHines, @zerolore, @zerokevo, @RichJWidmann, @nalin, @PaikCapital, @jasonrosenthal, @eddylazzarin, @alive_eth, @yassine_elman, @LorenzoARK, and many others. fortune.com/2026/02/10/lay…

Let me make this very simple for you: - Other L1 blockchains are fast -- Zero is the fastest. - Other L1 blockchains require apps to share blockspace leading to congestion -- Zero lets apps like GTE be next to institutions like ICE, DTCC, etc while being natively interconnected. - $ZRO is already generating revenue, has made major partnerships, and is positioned for long term value capture as more institutions show up Lay the foundations, capture the value, and continue to expand. $ZRO = the last L1 blockchain we need.

I really love big bets -- those are the kind of things that really have a chance to break status quo. What @GTE_XYZ is trying to accomplish with 24/7 global markets is an extremely large and ambitious bet. Honoured to have GTE building on Zero.

What does @GTE_XYZ 's decision to build on Zero by @LayerZero_Core imply? Today, @LayerZero_Core ,the de facto leader in interoperability within the crypto market, announced its own blockchain, Zero. At the same time, @GTE_XYZ revealed that it would be building on the Zero blockchain, drawing significant attention from the market. Source: GTE But wait, until recently, GTE appeared to be developing its own chain by implementing Minimmit, the consensus protocol from Commonware, effectively building a proprietary blockchain infrastructure. So how does this align with the decision to use Zero? The answer becomes clear once we examine GTE’s architecture. Source: GTE If we examine GTE’s architecture, it consists of roughly three distinct layers, each designed to perform a specialized function in order to achieve maximum performance. They can be outlined as follows: 1. Special Economic Zones (SEZs): SEZs can be understood as ultra-high-speed matching engines — the execution layer capable of processing millions of orders per second with nanosecond-level latency. In traditional financial markets, this corresponds to the exchange’s matching engine. For professional traders, the ability to receive and react to price changes even fractions of a second faster directly impacts profitability, making latency minimization structurally critical. For this reason, SEZs are deployed on bare-metal servers rather than public cloud infrastructure and are physically located near major financial hubs where price discovery occurs. The goal is to ensure that newly formed price information reaches the matching engine with minimal delay. Because SEZs operate on separate physical infrastructure, they function as an off-chain execution layer, while final settlement occurs on-chain — effectively separating speed from security. 2. Margin Engine: The Margin Engine serves as GTE’s equivalent of a clearing house. When an order is submitted, it verifies whether the trade can be executed within the user’s available margin and risk limits, and calculates the required collateral. It also analyzes account states across the system to manage aggregate risk, reflects real-time profit and loss (PnL) as prices fluctuate, and continuously monitors maintenance margin levels to determine whether liquidation is necessary. In short, the Margin Engine is not merely a calculator but the core risk control infrastructure that preserves the stability of the exchange. 3. Treasury Layer: The Treasury Layer is responsible for final settlement. Users deposit and withdraw funds through this layer, and all post-trade settlement is ultimately finalized here. In some respects, it performs functions similar to those of DTCC in traditional finance — particularly in terms of custody and settlement. The Margin Engine Is Where Independent Consensus Comes into Play Within GTE’s three-layer architecture, the component that incorporates independent consensus is the Margin Engine layer. To summarize: SEZs handle ultra-low-latency execution via physical bare-metal infrastructure; the Margin Engine establishes account states, collateral requirements, PnL, and liquidation criteria at the network level through its own consensus mechanism (e.g., the Minimmit Consensus Protocol); and the Treasury Layer leverages Zero — LayerZero’s next-generation Layer 1 blockchain — for deposits, withdrawals, and final settlement. This structure suggests two broader implications. First, future blockchain designs may increasingly move away from monolithic architectures that attempt to encapsulate all functions within a single chain. Instead, we may see more systems that separate domains requiring consensus, domains requiring extreme speed, and domains requiring final settlement. In other words, even a network with its own independent consensus does not necessarily need to function as a single all-encompassing Layer 1. Second, the decision to use Zero as the Treasury Layer implies that Zero may aspire to be more than just another new Layer 1. It could potentially position itself as infrastructure for the final ownership and settlement of global assets — in effect, something akin to a digital-era DTCC. Of course, a more definitive assessment will require concrete implementations and regulatory alignment from both GTE and Zero. Nonetheless, this architecture signals that the era of categorizing blockchains simply as Layer 1 or Layer 2 may be coming to an end. It demonstrates that systems can possess independent consensus while still coexisting symbiotically with other Layer 1 networks — a design approach that may point toward the next generation of financial infrastructure.

@LayerZero_Core @GTE_XYZ 24/7

In a world full of infrastructure, there aren’t nearly enough teams building the frontend and serving it to consumers. There remains a massive opportunity for an internet-native exchange for permissionless global markets. @GTE_XYZ has the chance to do exactly that: bring all assets, to everyone, across the world. On the same rails being used by some of the largest financial companies in the world.

@enzo_gte GTE.

Very excited for this. Zero and Turbo are an excellent match and this ensures that we’ll be the fastest and most performant blockchain and decentralized exchange throughout every layer of the stack. Now, back to work.

GTE has partnered with @LayerZero_Core to build the Treasury Layer of Turbo on Zero.

@mlunghi2000 @GTE_XYZ @LayerZero_Core GTE.

Markets have problems that decentralized systems are uniquely suited to solve. But blockchain systems remain significantly behind TradFi performance standards. This partnership is how we close the gap. @GTE_XYZ X @LayerZero_Core
