Unified liquidity bridge for native asset transfers across 15+ chains, powered by LayerZero
Last updated: June 2026
Stargate Finance is the canonical bridge application built on LayerZero, offering native asset transfers — not wrapped tokens — across 15+ chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Fantom, Metis, Linea, Scroll, and Mantle. The unified liquidity pool model means that a single USDC pool on each chain services both incoming and outgoing bridge demand, eliminating the bridged/canonical fragmentation that plagues wrapped-token bridges. Stargate V2 (2024) introduced a bus/taxi model: taxi fills your bridge instantly by consuming liquidity directly, while bus batches multiple bridge requests together for lower fees when you can wait a few minutes. Stargate is the most deeply integrated bridge in DeFi — Aave, Uniswap, and major protocols use Stargate for cross-chain liquidity management. The STG governance token can be vote-locked (veSTG) to direct emissions and earn a share of protocol fees. For protocol teams building cross-chain DeFi products, Stargate's deep integration ecosystem and LayerZero's arbitrary messaging layer make it the most natural choice for multi-chain deployments.
