Do you trust that integrated cross-chain tools make managing your digital assets easier?
Stargate has deployed the Eco liquidity layer to enable unified routing for USDC stablecoin transactions. Users can now perform real-time swaps across more than 80 supported chains using Eco's automated infrastructure.
Why it matters
Liquidity in the digital asset space is increasingly fragmented across a growing number of separate blockchains. This integration addresses that friction by using a single API to manage complex transaction routing and settlement.
Stargate has historically processed over $50 billion in total cross-chain volume across its network. The platform currently connects more than 80 distinct blockchains to facilitate liquidity movement.
The players
Stargate
Stargate is a cross-chain liquidity network that connects more than 80 different blockchains to enable asset transfers.
Eco
Eco is a San Francisco-based firm that provides a liquidity layer and API infrastructure for stablecoin routing.
The details
The integration utilizes the LayerZero Route on Eco to handle routing and conversion automatically, which also allows for higher order size limits on swaps. Eco functions as a liquidity layer that determines the most efficient settlement path for assets.
Timeline
September 24, 2026: Stargate deployed the Eco technology and enabled live USDC swaps.
Macro View
This integration follows the historical trajectory of cross-chain bridges seeking to solve liquidity fragmentation. By leveraging the LayerZero interoperability protocol, the system automates settlement paths to move assets across disparate blockchain networks.
Users can now execute larger USDC swaps across the Stargate network with improved routing efficiency. These changes reduce the manual complexity previously required when moving stablecoins between different blockchain environments.
The takeaway
Unified routing layers are becoming essential for managing liquidity as the number of active blockchains continues to expand. Users should monitor for future updates regarding which additional tokens will be supported for cross-chain swaps.
