Stargate plugs Anubis Chain into LayerZero’s 100-plus chain network

Stargate Finance now supports Anubis Chain, giving the privacy-focused network a direct line to more than 100 chains through LayerZero.

The integration was announced on November 5, 2026. It lets assets move between Anubis and the wider LayerZero ecosystem using Stargate’s existing liquidity, instead of forcing the chain to build its own plumbing from scratch.

What the integration actually does

The connection was made possible after Anubis Chain adopted LayerZero’s OFT standard. OFT stands for Omnichain Fungible Token, a framework that lets a single token exist across many chains while keeping one consistent supply.

Because Anubis is EVM-compatible, developers who already write code for Ethereum-style environments can tap Stargate’s liquidity infrastructure directly. No custom bridge required.

The integration supports the distribution of stablecoins, real-world assets (RWAs), and other interoperable tokens across multiple chains. RWAs are tokenized versions of things that exist off-chain, such as bonds or other financial instruments.

One practical upside: Anubis does not need to launch a fresh round of liquidity incentives to attract capital. It can lean on cross-chain liquidity that already sits in Stargate’s pools.

Notably, no new asset launch or native Anubis token is tied to this connectivity upgrade. The focus is on moving existing assets around more efficiently, not on minting something new for the occasion.

A young chain with fast-growing numbers

Anubis Chain positions itself around privacy. It uses PLONK ZK-proofs, a type of zero-knowledge cryptography that lets a network verify something is true without revealing the underlying data.

The network targets use cases in privacy, security, and AI/AGI applications. Anubis Chain’s mainnet launched on April 8, 2026.

As of early November 2026, Anubis Chain reported over 200 million cumulative transactions and approximately 1.76 million accounts. The network has also hit peak transaction rates exceeding 2 million per day. Its DeFi ecosystem holds roughly $333 million in total value locked (TVL), which measures how much capital users have deposited into its applications.

Stargate’s new role under LayerZero

Stargate Finance operates as LayerZero’s flagship liquidity provider. Its position was formalized after the LayerZero Foundation acquired it in 2025.

That acquisition shifted Stargate’s financial center of gravity toward LayerZero’s ZRO token. Holders of Stargate’s original STG token can still convert to ZRO. That conversion window remains open until December 15, 2026.

Each new chain integration strengthens the case that Stargate is now the default liquidity layer for the LayerZero ecosystem. Anubis is the latest addition to a network that already spans more than 100 chains.

What this means for Anubis, Stargate and ZRO holders

For Anubis Chain, the immediate benefit is access. Projects building on the network can now move assets across many chains with less friction, which could make the chain more attractive to developers who care about capital efficiency.

For Stargate and the broader LayerZero ecosystem, every integration reinforces a network effect. The more chains that connect, the more useful the infrastructure becomes for the next chain deciding whether to join.

That dynamic is especially relevant for ZRO. With STG holders migrating ahead of the December 15, 2026 deadline, growth in Stargate’s footprint now feeds directly into the LayerZero story rather than a separate token.

There is also a strategic tension worth watching. Anubis is built around privacy, while cross-chain liquidity is fundamentally about moving assets into and out of other, often fully transparent, networks.
