## About Stargate Foundation

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Stargate Foundation develops and maintains Stargate, a composable cross-chain liquidity transport protocol that enables instant, secure asset transfers across 45+ blockchains.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Foundation; parent company LayerZero Labs Ltd.)
- **Headquarters**: Lusaka, Zambia
- **Founded**: 2022 (protocol launch)
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed (core team emerged from LayerZero Labs)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Blockchain infrastructure / DeFi (Decentralized Finance)
- Target customers: B2B (protocols, dApps, institutions) and B2C (end-users transferring assets cross-chain)
- Mission: To become the standard unified liquidity layer for the omnichain economy – “how money moves onchain.”

## Products & Services
- **Stargate Protocol**: A composable cross-chain liquidity transport protocol that offers guaranteed instant finality for asset transfers between blockchains. Supports native, OFT, and (coming soon) Hydra assets. Integrated with 45+ networks.
- **Stargate API**: Provides developers with a programmatic interface to integrate cross-chain transfers directly into their applications, enabling seamless omnichain liquidity access.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Over **$50 billion** in lifetime transfer volume (as of mid-2025)
- **Notable Partners / Users**: Circle, Tether, Ethena – major stablecoin issuers and protocols leverage Stargate’s liquidity layer.
- **Growth Signals**: Expansion to 45+ blockchains; introduction of Hydra asset support; sustained volume growth despite market conditions; active development of governance and enterprise solutions.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Unified Liquidity**: Unlike fragmented bridges, Stargate pools liquidity across chains into a single hub, improving capital efficiency.
- **Instant Finality**: Guaranteed finality on the destination chain eliminates settlement risk.
- **LayerZero Backbone**: Built on LayerZero’s omnichain messaging infrastructure, giving it deep composability and security from one of the most battle-tested interoperability protocols.
- **Ecosystem Adoption**: Already integrated by leading protocols and stablecoin issuers, creating strong network effects.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the supported network set** to cover all major L1s and L2s.
- **Launching Hydra assets** to enable more flexible cross-chain token standards.
- **Enhancing developer tooling** (API, docs) to attract more builders.
- **Advancing decentralized governance** to transition control to the community (Stargate Foundation oversees this process).

## Why Work Here
- **Impact-focused mission**: Work on core infrastructure that powers the multi-chain future of finance.
- **Small, lean team** (reported ~2 core employees, plus broader foundation contributors) – high ownership and direct influence on protocol design.
- **Remote-friendly**: Team distributed across Zambia, Poland, Canada, and other locations.
- **Engineering culture**: Smart contract development (Solidity, LayerZero), cross-chain architecture, and open-source ethos.
- **Recent open roles** (via Ashby): Smart Contract Engineer, Head of Partnerships – indicating growth and institutional focus.
