🔥 Stargate Shifts 100% Revenue to ZRO Buybacks
**Major Revenue Allocation Change** Starting April 2026, Stargate is directing 100% of its protocol revenue toward ZRO token buybacks, up from the previous 50/50 split with veSTG stakers. **March 2026 Buyback Results:** - 126,612 ZRO tokens purchased - Total buybacks to date: 1,621,651 ZRO **What This Means:** This represents a significant shift in tokenomics for the cross-chain liquidity protocol. The move doubles the buying pressure on ZRO tokens compared to the previous model where half the revenue went to veSTG stakers. The change follows February's buyback of 146,430 ZRO tokens and signals a strategic pivot in how Stargate distributes protocol value to token holders.
