The LayerZero Foundation has proposed acquiring the closely-related Stargate (STG) and merging its token economy into the LayerZero (ZRO) ecosystem, a move that would consolidate the two protocols’ cross-chain infrastructure under a single asset.
Stargate Finance was developed by the same team that created the LayerZero protocol, and the two companies share cofounders.
The plan would see all STG tokens converted into ZRO at a fixed rate, effectively retiring STG as a standalone governance and rewards token.
Post-merger, Stargate’s bridge revenues — which generated $939,000 in payouts to STG stakers over the past three months — would flow directly to the foundation. ZRO holders would benefit from potential buybacks funded by these revenues, while governance and utility would shift fully to the LayerZero token.
LayerZero said combining the two tokens will make the system simpler, cut overlap, and focus value in one asset.Furthermore, if approved, the acquisition would also remove
