Overview
- LayerZero Foundation has offered to swap all circulating and staked STG tokens for ZRO at 1 STG = 0.08634 ZRO, valuing the deal at $0.1675 per STG
- The transaction’s estimated value jumped from $110 million to about $127 million after STG and ZRO prices rose over 12% and 15% respectively
- Under the plan, Stargate DAO would be dissolved and its governance and revenue streams fully integrated into the LayerZero Foundation
- Stargate token holders have seven days to debate the merger on the DAO forum before a formal vote that needs 70% approval and at least 1.2 million veSTG to pass
- Community reactions are split, with some STG holders saying the swap undervalues the bridge’s revenue potential and eliminates existing staking rewards
