What is Stargate?

Stargate is a cross-chain bridge built on LayerZero that enables native asset transfers across 80+ blockchains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Optimism. Unlike wrapped tokens, you receive real native assets on the destination chain.

Native Asset Bridges

Stargate sends real USDC, USDT, ETH and other tokens, not wrapped versions. This means less complexity and better liquidity than traditional bridges.

LayerZero Protocol

Built on LayerZero's omnichain messaging, Stargate offers instant finality and low fees through unified liquidity pools across all supported chains.

Bridge Fees

Stargate charges a 0.06% protocol fee plus gas costs. Stargate V2 reduces costs further through transaction batching via the "Stargate Bus".

How does Cryptotax treat your Stargate activity for tax?

Key tax considerations

  • ①
    Bridging is not a taxable event.

    Transferring the same asset from chain A to chain B via Stargate is not a realization of capital gain. Your cost basis is carried over to the destination chain.

  • ②
    Bridge fees increase your cost basis.

    The 0.06% protocol fee and gas costs are added to your cost basis. This reduces your taxable capital gain on a later sale.

  • ③
    STG token rewards are taxable.

    If you receive STG tokens as a liquidity provider or through other incentives, the EUR value at receipt is taxable as movable income.

  • ④
    LP fees from Stargate pools are taxable.

    As a liquidity provider in Stargate pools you earn bridge fees. These are treated as movable income and are taxable at the time of claim or withdrawal.
