Using Stargate

Stargate is an asset bridge built on top of the LayerZero protocol, enabling seamless asset transfers between 80+ blockchains, without wrapping tokens, all thanks to the OFT standard.

Stargate has two modes, depending on how granular you want to go on some parameters.

Simple Mode

The Simple Mode is pretty straightforward:

  1. Click the "From" field and select one of the tokens found in the wallet that you connected to Stargate.

    • You can also explore the various chains and tokens supported by the bridge, using the search field.

  2. Now that it knows the source chain and token, Stargate can suggest target chains and tokens that are compatible.

  1. Select the target token and chain, then enter how much source token you want to bridge.

  1. Click "Transfer" to trigger the confirmation dialog from your Web3 wallet.

  2. Once confirmed, Stargate takes care of the bridging itself.

Advanced Mode

While the Advanced Mode presents a wider interface, it is not much more complex than the simple, it simply offers a better overview of what's possible.

The most notable customizations are:

  • "Gas on destination": Use this option if you need native tokens on the destination chain, to facilitate other transactions, such as local swaps.

  • "Fee tolerance": You can choose a maximum fee tolerance (in percentage of the transfered tokens). If the amount you're receiving on the target chain is outside of this tolerance, the transaction is reverted.

Otherwise, the way it works remains the same as in the Simple Mode.
