## Context: What STG is

STG is the native token of Stargate Finance, a cross-chain liquidity transport protocol. Following LayerZero Foundation's $110 million acquisition of Stargate (approved by the Stargate DAO in August 2025), STG was retired as a standalone governance token and made convertible into LayerZero's ZRO token at a fixed rate of **1 STG = 0.08634 ZRO** [[4]](https://cryptobriefing.com/stargate-taxi-transactions-str-zro-conversion-deadline/), [[5]](https://www.thecryptopublic.com/stg-to-zro-migration/), [[16]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/stargate-finance/price-prediction/). Importantly, the Stargate protocol itself continues to operate as a LayerZero product — only the token economy is being consolidated into ZRO [[4]](https://cryptobriefing.com/stargate-taxi-transactions-str-zro-conversion-deadline/), [[5]](https://www.thecryptopublic.com/stg-to-zro-migration/). The fixed 0.08634 ratio derives from the 2025 acquisition terms and does not adjust to current market prices [[5]](https://www.thecryptopublic.com/stg-to-zro-migration/), [[8]](https://cryptoticker.io/en/stg-zro-token-merge-deadline/).
