Foundation
Foundation

The Stargate Foundation is an independent foundation dedicated to supporting the Stargate protocol and related technologies.

Who WE ARE

The Foundation’s purpose is to support the ecosystem of developers of the Delta (∆) algorithm and Stargate Protocol. This is primarily achieved by sponsoring initiatives and programs and providing the resources and support to the developer community.

Welcome to the omnichain future

What is Stargate

Stargate is a a composable omnichain native asset bridge, built on the LayerZero protocol and employing the novel Delta (∆) algorithm. To learn more about Stargate and its native token, please visit stargate.finance.

Transferring liquidity

Transferring liquidity between chains is a common and important task in today’s blockchain ecosystem, with users constantly moving liquidity to take advantage of opportunities on different chains. This movement of liquidity is made possible by bridges, services that facilitate cross-chain token swap.

Unfortunately, prior work in cross-chain bridging must make a compromise in functionality due to the bridging trilemma, giving up one of the following: instant guaranteed finality, unified liquidity, or native asset transactions.

Bridges Trilemma

The advent of omnichain communication protocols such as LayerZero offers the opportunity to solve the bridging trilemma. Omnichain communication protocols enable reliable bidirectional inter-chain communication in densely connected networks of chains, making it possible to directly bridge native assets with- out sacrificing instant guaranteed finality.

The Delta (∆) algorithm

The Delta (∆) algorithm, a novel resource balancing algorithm which, in conjunction with omnichain communication, solves the bridging trilemma by enabling unified liquidity without compromising instant guaranteed finality. Built on the ∆ algorithm, Stargate conducts native asset transfers through unified pools of liquidity while achieving instant guaranteed finality, the combination of which enables cross-chain composability, and scalability.

Ecosystem support programs

Ecosystem support programs are effort aimed at ensuring that the Stargate ecosystem has the support it needs to succeed. They range from providing financial support through grants, funding bug bounties and, as well as guidance and non-monetary support to teams that need more than just money to succeed.

Grants

The Grants Program allocates resources to projects that seek to develop Stargate-related technologies. Whether you’re working on a specific project, or you’re still exploring possibilities, you can connect with the Foundation for guidance.

If you’re thinking about submitting a grant application, but feeling uncertain - whether about your eligibility, our evaluation criteria or anything else - reach out to us before submitting! The application process takes time (yours and ours) and we would rather get your questions answered before you start so the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Governance

Community Forum

Changes to the Stargate protocol are administered by Stargate token holders using their voting power and through the governance proposal and voting process. Proposals can be discussed in the Forum to gain sentiment and classified as "Core" and "Protocol". Commonwealth helps the Stargate community to submit well structured and comprehensive governance proposals.

A proposal that garnishes sufficient positive sentiment with strong polling from the community, can in turn be posted to Snapshot for an official governance vote.

Commonwealth

Stargate DAO

Governance is vital to the decentralization and autonomy of the Stargate protocol. Governance determines all Stargate network and incentives matters, including product development, tokenomics, and the distribution of emissions to stablecoin liquidity pools. Stargate is governed entirely by Stargate token holders via voting escrow.
