LayerZero Sets December 15 Deadline for STG-ZRO Swap
LayerZero will keep its Stargate STG-to-ZRO conversion option open through December 15, 2026, before ending support.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Finance — General
LayerZero will keep its Stargate Finance STG-to-ZRO conversion service open through December 15, 2026. The option was created as part of LayerZero's 2025 acquisition of Stargate.
Why it matters
STG holders who have not yet converted to ZRO face a fixed deadline after which the conversion service will no longer be supported. The timing is tied to the upcoming launch of Zero mainnet and the lzATLAS exchange engine.
Binance's completed STG-to-ZRO migration used a conversion rate of 1 STG for 0.08634 ZRO. The extraction does not indicate how much STG remains unconverted ahead of the December 15 deadline.
The players
LayerZero
LayerZero is a cross-chain interoperability protocol that acquired Stargate Finance in 2025.
Stargate Finance
Stargate Finance is a cross-chain liquidity transfer protocol whose STG token holders can convert to ZRO.
Binance
Binance is a major cryptocurrency exchange that has completed its own STG-to-ZRO migration.
The details
LayerZero will coordinate the transition with exchanges, market makers, custodians and ecosystem partners. Before Zero mainnet launches, LayerZero will transfer ownership of the ZRO contract to OneSig, its signing solution, and raise the DVN threshold to 4/4.
Timeline
November 30, 2026: Zero mainnet and the lzATLAS exchange engine are scheduled to launch together.
December 15, 2026: The STG-to-ZRO conversion deadline; support ends afterward.
Market Dynamics
The STG-to-ZRO conversion option was created by LayerZero's 2025 acquisition of Stargate Finance, and the December 15, 2026 deadline closes that option. The shift consolidates Stargate's token into LayerZero's own ZRO token as the protocol moves toward its Zero mainnet.
STG holders who want to convert to ZRO must do so by December 15, 2026, after which LayerZero will no longer support the conversion. Holders who miss the window will have no supported path through LayerZero to exchange their STG for ZRO.
The takeaway
Holders of STG who have not yet converted should note the December 15, 2026 deadline, since LayerZero will end support for the conversion after that date. Checking with the exchange or custodian holding the tokens is the practical first step.
What happens next
LayerZero will transfer ZRO contract ownership to OneSig and raise the DVN threshold to 4/4 before the Zero mainnet launch on November 30, 2026, and STG-to-ZRO conversions end on December 15, 2026.
