The Stargate protocol lives at the heart of omni-chain DeFi and was created on top of the LayerZero protocol, which allows the transfer of funds between several blockchains. The Stargate token (STG) offers a solution to the “bridging trilemma” and allows users and decentralized apps to transfer native assets cross-chain while accessing the protocol’s unified liquidity pools with instant guaranteed finality. STG is the first omnichain fungible token (OFT), a native token that can freely move between all chains LayerZero exists. STG holders can lock in their STG tokens to receive Stargate’s governance token, veSTG.
