Evercrest Files British Columbia Civil Claim Against LayerZero, CEO
LayerZero Labs CEO Bryan Pellegrino identified Evercrest as KelpDAO and called the claim “meritless,” saying he would defend it in Vancouver.
Evercrest has filed a civil claim in British Columbia against LayerZero and Bryan Pellegrino, bringing the crypto infrastructure project and its CEO into a Canadian legal dispute.
Bryan Pellegrino, CEO of LayerZero Labs, identified Evercrest as KelpDAO and called the claim “meritless.” He said he would defend the case in Vancouver.
The action places Evercrest and LayerZero on opposite sides of a legal dispute while also naming Pellegrino personally. LayerZero is a prominent crypto infrastructure project, and Pellegrino is identified as its chief executive through LayerZero Labs.
Pellegrino’s response makes two points clear: He says Evercrest is KelpDAO, and he intends to contest the claim in Vancouver. His description of the case as “meritless” is his position on the dispute, not a court finding.
The case combines a claim against a crypto infrastructure company with a claim against its CEO, while Pellegrino disputes the action’s merit and identifies Vancouver as the place where he will defend it.
