Stargate V2 Launch: DeFi's Cheapest and Most Interoperable Bridge

Stargate has launched the SuperStacks incentives campaign on Optimism, enabling users to earn $OP rewards across multiple chains in the Superchain ecosystem. Key features: - Campaign runs April 16 to June 30 - Supports transfers of USDT0 and other assets across Base, InkOnChain, Optimism, Soneium, and Unichain - Earn rewards from protocols including Velodrome, Aerodrome, Uniswap, Morpho, and Aave - XP points earned based on liquidity provided and duration of participation Users can track progress and rewards through the [SuperStacks dashboard](http://app.optimism.io/superstacks).

Stargate has launched cross-chain functionality for $PROMPT token between Base and Ethereum Mainnet. The integration enables: - 1:1 token transfers with zero slippage - Seamless movement between networks - LayerZero-powered infrastructure - Access through Stargate interface This follows Stargate's recent USDT0 expansion across multiple chains including Base, World Chain, Soneium, Swell Network, Mode, and Lisk. The USDT0 bridged version provides full interoperability with native USDT0 and USDT, requiring no migration when native deployment occurs.

HyperCore has launched automatic conversions for $uETH withdrawals to Ethereum Mainnet, streamlining the withdrawal process in collaboration with @hyperunit. The system automatically converts $uETH to $ETH upon transfer completion. This follows February's integration with Router Nitro UI, which simplified HyperLiquid withdrawals across 40+ chains. The process now requires just three steps: - Select token and amount - Sign withdrawal request on HyperLiquid - Confirm final transfer to destination chain Users can now execute withdrawals to various networks, including non-EVM chains like Solana and Sui, directly through the Router Nitro interface at [routernitro.com/swap](http://routernitro.com/swap).

Tether-backed stablecoin USD0 has launched on Unichain, expanding its cross-chain presence. The integration with Stargate's protocol enables seamless transfers across multiple networks. - Previously launched on Ethereum and Arbitrum in November 2024 - Accessible through Stargate's bridging interface - Backed by Tether (USDT) Users can transfer USD0 through [Stargate's dedicated bridge](https://tinyurl.com/USD0onStargate) with a simple three-step process: 1. Visit the bridge portal 2. Connect wallet and select amount 3. Complete transfer This expansion marks another milestone in USD0's cross-chain accessibility mission.

Stargate has achieved a significant milestone by facilitating over $3 billion in transfer volume on Berachain. The protocol continues to demonstrate its capabilities in cross-chain liquidity: - Berachain enters Phase 1 on March 24th - Previously dominated Optimism's SuperFest with 60-70% daily transfer volume - Managed nearly 100% of volume into Sei during Super Seiyan week Performance metrics: - SuperFest: ~$200M bridged volume - Berachain: $3B+ transfer volume [View SuperFest dashboard](https://dune.com/lifi/superfest-jumper)
