Speculation about "LayerZero's upcoming airdrop" has taken an unexpected turn.
Early this morning, LayerZero co-founder and CEO Bryan Pellegrino communicated with the community on the official Telegram channel regarding the recent addition of an SSL certificate to the "layerzero.foundation" domain, resulting in a suspenseful drama.

So, what did Bryan say this morning?
First, the core question: Did the LayerZero team add the SSL? Bryan (Primo) was very clear: "It wasn't us!"
Bryan denied that the SSL was added by the LayerZero team.
However, strangely, Bryan (Primo) also acknowledged that the "layerzero.foundation" domain indeed belongs to the LayerZero team. Bryan (Primo) stated, "This is indeed our domain. I specifically asked the security officer, and he said we did not add the SSL certificate. He is checking how this happened."
Bryan acknowledged in the community that the domain belongs to the team.
Community user @srtvg expressed confusion: "As far as I know, it should not be possible to add an SSL certificate to a specified domain without ownership of the domain."
Bryan (Primo) replied, "We think so too, so our security officer has been investigating this all day."
Bryan responded to community members' confusion.
In response to this matter, some community members questioned the LayerZero team's security management capabilities, asking whether a hacker had breached the website. Bryan (Primo) answered, "Not likely, we will take a look."
Bryan denied the existence of a hacking incident.
Bryan (Primo) added that the team is investigating the domain hosting service, and the results will be known soon.
Bryan stated in the community that they are investigating the hosting service.
Finally, several users inquired whether the community would be informed of the detailed investigation results after it concludes. Bryan (Primo) also gave a positive response.
Bryan acknowledged in the community that the investigation results will be made public.
In summary, what can be confirmed at this point is that this seemingly airdrop-indicative "SSL incident" was not caused by the team, which also means that the highly anticipated ZRO airdrop remains an unknown for now.
As for the specifics, let's wait for the investigation results from Bryan (Primo) and LayerZero.
