The advantages of Stargate
Stargate is the first product developed on LayerZero, an improvement in technology that can solve outstanding problems in bridge protocols in the market such as:
- Guaranteed transaction results: Users and applications can be assured that the data sent by transactions in the source chain will be brought to the destination chain intact.
- Native assets: Users and applications can swap cross-chain original assets instead of wrap assets.
- Unified liquidity: The sharing of access of separate Liquidity Pools across the chain creates deeper liquidity for users and applications.
