Non‑STG treasury assets of US$87.6 million support an intrinsic backing of US$0.134 per circulating STG token. Approximately 26 % of total assets are productively deployed across seven chains, maintaining the protocol’s cross‑chain liquidity while preserving strategic reserves.

Purpose of this Report

This report presents a comprehensive assessment of Stargate’s treasury—covering asset composition, deployed liquidity, revenue streams, and expenditures—together with an overview of recent DAO-driven initiatives. It is designed to enhance transparency, furnish the DAO with actionable insights, and provide a consistent, data-driven gauge of how treasury resources are managed in pursuit of Stargate’s long-term strategic objectives.

Mandate of the Treasury

Stargate’s treasury exists to safeguard the protocol’s resilience while enabling strategic responsiveness to an evolving onchain economy. Its role is to ensure long-term sustainability and omnichain growth alignment. Treasury activities are guided by the following objectives:

  • Sustaining Core Infrastructure: Maintain liquidity across Stargate-supported networks to enable seamless and trustless cross-chain transfers.

  • Strengthening the Hydra Ecosystem: Deploy resources to support Hydra Chain integrations, reinforcing the protocol’s role as foundational infrastructure.

  • Catalyzing Ecosystem Growth: Engage in strategic investments including early-stage team incubation, token swaps, and partnerships that strengthen the Stargate ecosystem.

  • Maintaining Long-Term Reserves: Preserve financial flexibility through prudent capital management.

  • Backing Protocol Expansion: Provide targeted support for new product development and DAO-sanctioned initiatives aligned with Stargate’s innovation roadmap.

DAO-Backed Protocol Initiatives

Hydra Expansion Programme (HEP-1) 

To date, 10,494,750 STG has been distributed as part of the Hydra Expansion Programme (HEP-1) to incentivize sticky USDC.e and WETH liquidity within the Berachain ecosystem via the designated Boyco vaults.

STG/HONEY vault approved for Berachain’s PoL

As mandated by HEP-1, the DAO will participate in PoL by allocating $100,000 per week in STG bribes over a 12-week period. These bribes will be executed through the STG/HONEY vault, which was approved by the DAO in a proposal submitted by the Kodiak team.

The bribes are conditional: they will only be deployed if the combined value of received Bera Governance Token (BGT) emissions and vault bribes exceeds the STG being distributed. During this timeframe, Stargate also anticipates receiving BGT from validator delegations, enabling further compounding via additional vault participation.

Stargate to offer EURC bridging

Following DAO approval, Stargate will now support Circle’s EURC, marking the first non-USDC fiat-backed stablecoin in the ecosystem. Stargate expects to deploy EURC pools across Ethereum, Base, and Avalanche, with an initial target of €2 million TVL per chain.

EURC is planned to  be fully integrated as a Hydra-enabled asset, expanding its reach across existing and future ecosystems via Stargate’s standard interop stack. This will enable fast, low-cost, and secure movement of EURC across chains — a key step in unlocking omnichain Euro liquidity.

DAO Backed Strategic Initiatives

Glue X Stargate SuperApp

A strategic partnership with Glue has been approved to co-develop a flagship cross-chain mobile application. The app is intended to facilitate seamless any-to-any token swaps for retail users, leveraging Stargate as its exclusive backend liquidity infrastructure.

The DAO has committed:

  • $1M in USDC for app development and security audits

  • $500K in STG for performance marketing and user acquisition

  • $500K in STG for user incentives

  • A $500K STG–GLUE token swap, subject to a 3-year staking lock to align long-term incentives

All swaps executed within the app will exclusively route through Stargate, generating protocol revenue. Of this revenue, 35% will be allocated to STG buybacks, with 10% distributed to veSTG holders.

Swell Chain deployment

The proposal to deploy an ETH pool onto Swell L2 was passed in april enabling the Stargate DAO to deploy $5m in ETH onto Swell in exchange for 5% yield ($250k). This yield earned will be distributed to stakers once the incentives are received and calculated under ‘incentives received’ from the ‘Treasury Earnings’ section.
