Enjoy significantly lower fees compared to traditional cross-chain bridges, with optimized gas costs and efficient transaction processing.
"Stargate Finance represents a significant leap forward in cross-chain technology, solving the blockchain trilemma with its innovative approach to unified liquidity and instant finality." — Crypto Industry Expert
User connects wallet and selects source chain, destination chain, and asset amount to transfer.
Original assets are locked in the source chain's Stargate contract.
Cross-chain message is sent via LayerZero protocol with transaction data.
Stargate's Delta Algorithm ensures balanced liquidity across chains.
Native assets are released to recipient on destination chain with instant finality.
| Feature | Stargate Finance | Traditional Bridges |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction Finality | Instant | Minutes to hours |
| Asset Type | Native assets | Wrapped tokens |
| Liquidity Model | Unified pools | Fragmented pools |
| Security Model | LayerZero + Delta Algorithm | Varies (often centralized) |
| Transaction Fees | Lower (optimized) | Higher (multiple hops) |
Stargate Finance is built on LayerZero, an omnichain interoperability protocol that enables lightweight cross-chain messaging with security guarantees. LayerZero uses a combination of on-chain verification and off-chain proofs to ensure message validity while minimizing gas costs.
The protocol employs Ultra Light Nodes (ULNs) that verify block headers and transaction proofs without requiring full node operation on each chain, making cross-chain communication more efficient and cost-effective.
The Delta Algorithm is Stargate's solution to the bridge trilemma, balancing instant guaranteed finality, native assets, and unified liquidity. It works by:
This algorithm enables Stargate to offer instant finality without sacrificing security or requiring wrapped tokens.
StargateV2, built on LayerZero V2, introduces several key improvements:
1. Connect your wallet to Stargate Finance
2. Select source and destination chains
3. Choose asset and amount to transfer
4. Confirm transaction details and fees
5. Sign transaction with your wallet
6. Receive assets on destination chain instantly

Stargate Finance is a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol built on LayerZero that enables the instant transfer of native assets between different blockchains with unified liquidity pools. It solves the bridge trilemma by offering instant guaranteed finality, native assets, and unified liquidity.
Stargate currently supports 9+ blockchains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Fantom, Avalanche, Polygon, Metis, and Linea. The protocol continues to expand to additional chains based on community governance decisions.
Stargate implements a multi-layered security approach that includes thorough smart contract audits, LayerZero's Ultra Light Node verification system, the Delta Algorithm for preventing liquidity attacks, continuous monitoring, and a bug bounty program. Since its launch in March 2022, Stargate has maintained a perfect security record with zero incidents.
Stargate's fees typically range from 0.05% to 0.25% depending on the specific chains and assets involved. These fees are significantly lower than traditional bridges, which often charge 0.3% to 0.5% or more. Additionally, users pay the standard gas fees required for transactions on the source and destination chains.
The STG token serves multiple purposes in the Stargate ecosystem: governance (stake STG to receive veSTG for voting rights), fee distribution (veSTG holders receive a portion of transaction fees), liquidity mining (earn STG by providing liquidity), and protocol growth (funding ecosystem development and partnerships).
Stargate transfers typically complete in 1-2 minutes, significantly faster than traditional bridges which can take 10-30 minutes or longer. The exact time depends on the source and destination chain block times and network congestion, but Stargate's architecture ensures the fastest possible finality for cross-chain transactions.
Yes, Stargate offers multiple ways to earn yield: provide liquidity to Stargate pools and earn fees plus STG rewards, farm LP tokens for additional STG, and stake STG to receive veSTG which earns a portion of protocol fees. These options allow users to participate in the ecosystem while generating returns on their assets.
Yes, Stargate is designed with user experience in mind, making it accessible for beginners while offering advanced features for experienced users. The intuitive interface guides users through the process of cross-chain transfers with clear instructions and transparent fee information. Additionally, comprehensive documentation and community support are available to help newcomers get started.
