Stargate, the LayerZero cross-chain bridge protocol, has responded to the recent “force majeure” incident impacting Multichain and the stability concerns surrounding anyUSDC, Fantom’s main USDC asset.
To address these concerns and safeguard the ecosystem, Stargate has introduced a comprehensive proposal and initiated a single-choice voting system for risk mitigation and ecosystem integrity. The voting period for the proposal began at 3:47 AM on May 27, 2023, and will end at 3:47 AM on May 30, 2023.
As part of the proposal, the initial step involves ceasing STG emissions on the Fantom pools. This action by Stargate intends to temporarily suspend emissions and mitigate potential disruptions arising from the uncertainties associated with Multichain. Emission is the speed at which new coins are created and released.
So far, a total of 1.7 million verified members of the Stargate community have voted in favor of the proposal. This figure shows that about 96.55% of the community is in line with the proposal.
In order to enhance ecosystem protection and address potential concerns related to anyUSDC on Fantom, the proposal recommends the removal and unwinding of anyUSDC POL through Multichain. Additionally, Stargate proposes exploring alternative bridging options for Fantom users, such as potentially utilizing Hydra.
