Stargate
The Stargate v2 protocol will no longer support the following chains as of the effective dates listed below.
As a result, Stargate users should redeem their assets (USDC.e, wETH, USDT) from these chains. Failure to act before chain support is fully deprecated will result in losing access to your funds.
Holders of either Stargate Pool or Stargate Hydra assets should bridge to a chain with continued support to avoid loss of funds. We recommend users bridge to pools with deeper liquidity such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BSC to redeem their assets.
| CHAIN | DATE EFFECTIVE |
|---|---|
| Botanix | July 30, 2026 |
| EDU Chain | August 28, 2026 |
| Superposition | September 8, 2026 |
| Aurora | September 23, 2026 |
| Taiko | September 23, 2026 |
| LightLink | September 23, 2026 |
| Gnosis | September 23, 2026 |
