Stargate updates token conversion process, transitions to Taxi transactions
Summary
Stargate and LayerZero Labs have announced significant updates to their ecosystem operations, including a transition for STG token holders to convert their tokens to ZRO, which will remain available until December 15. To facilitate this conversion, the company is collaborating with exchanges, market makers, and custodians. Additionally, starting October 1, all transactions will utilize the immediate Taxi delivery method, as Stargate aims to simplify operations. LayerZero Labs will also shift its support focus to approximately ten prioritized testnets, phasing out support for lesser-used nets by the end of October to enhance service quality for builders.
