Did you know that…

1️⃣ LayerZero CEO is a former professional online poker player with the nickname "PrimordialAA"?

👾 Brian doesn't have a Stanford degree. But he does have a mathematical mind, theoretical training, and thousands of hours of online poker at the highest limits.

🎲 Before LayerZero, Brian Pellegrino was a well-known figure in the world of high-stakes online poker. He played at the highest limits and won hundreds of thousands of dollars, playing under the nickname PrimordialAA.

♠️ He specialized in Heads-Up No Limit Hold’em, one of the most difficult and psychologically intense formats. It was this game that shaped his thinking style: cold calculation, probability analysis, strategic adaptation.

"Poker taught me to make high-risk decisions with incomplete information - this is the essence of crypto," - Brian.

🤖 Before LayerZero, he wrote bots, analyzed exploits, and analyzed opponents' strategies in poker. Now he writes code for a world where "opponents" are bridge attacks and cross-chain exploits.

🛠️ LayerZero is not a bridge. It is a messaging infrastructure that allows blockchains to "talk". Like HTTP for Web3. Like DNS, only more discreetly.

📡 LayerZero is the one that powers hundreds of dApps, even if you didn't know about it.
