Stargate STG: withdraw and convert to ZRO

STG staking has ended. STG left in veSTG or in your wallet can still be converted to ZRO at a fixed rate of 1 STG = 0.08634 ZRO, on Ethereum, before December 15, 2026. If your STG is on another chain, withdraw it there if needed, then bridge it to Ethereum before converting.

Official app code, verified contract sources and public on-chain balances were checked on 2026-11-10. A public Ethereum withdrawal passed a read-only simulation. The connected withdrawal, bridge and conversion screens still need browser review. DeFi Checkup never connects your wallet or asks for signatures.

What happened

LayerZero’s November 3, 2026 update says the STG conversion window ends on December 15. The official Stargate page confirms that staking has ended, shows the fixed rate and directs holders to withdraw before converting. Conversion happens on Ethereum only.

Who is affected

The scanner reads locked(address) on veSTG and balanceOf(address) on STG across six networks. The deposited amount is STG principal, not veSTG voting power. On 2026-11-10, every listed veSTG contract reported unlocked() = true. Their verified withdrawal code bypasses the lock-end check when unlocked, so you do not need to wait for your original lock to expire.

Other STG networks, staked liquidity, staking fee rewards, sveSTG and aaSTG are outside this check. Loose STG with a known value below one US cent is excluded. Every positive veSTG deposit is shown; a missing price never hides an amount.

How to check without connecting a wallet

Scan your address on DeFi Checkup. No wallet connection. No signatures. Review both locked and loose findings. An error or incomplete warning means some balances need another check; it does not confirm that those networks are empty.

Dollar values use the fixed conversion rate multiplied by the current ZRO price. If that price is missing, the report uses the STG price and says so. Neither valuation guarantees a sale price or a successful conversion. The scanner does not check your eligibility to accept the conversion terms.

How to get it out

Before copying your address, take it from your own wallet, never transaction history. Compare the entire address to avoid lookalike addresses placed through address poisoning.

1. Open stargate.finance/stake yourself. Only use stargate.finance for this recovery. The page is titled “Convert STG to ZRO”. Any wallet connection, terms acceptance or transaction happens on that external site.
2. If you have veSTG, use the withdrawal flow with the address that deposited the STG, on the original network. Withdrawals are open now even if the old lock-end date is in the future. Review the STG amount and full veSTG address before confirming.
3. If the withdrawn or loose STG is outside Ethereum, follow the official site’s bridge flow to Ethereum. Keep enough native coin on the source network for fees and ETH on Ethereum for conversion. Review the bridge quote and wait for the STG to arrive before continuing.
4. On Ethereum, review the STG to ZRO conversion on the same official page. The app can request an STG approval and a signature accepting its conversion terms. Read those terms and the wallet request before accepting. The conversion is final and sends STG to a burn address.
5. Check the conversion amount at 0.08634 ZRO per STG, the receiving address and the Ethereum fee. Complete the conversion before December 15, 2026, then check your Ethereum ZRO balance. Do not assume a withdrawal or bridge alone has converted your STG.

The Ethereum converter discovered in the official app is 0x921949cc006A563D76Abd111a3e4c2ACe2C4273f. Its STG() and ZRO() getters match the Ethereum STG token above and ZRO token 0x6985884C4392D348587B19cb9eAAf157F13271cd. Its rate getters return 8,634 and 100,000. Start from the official page rather than attempting a manual contract call.

What it costs

The scanner uses estimates, not measured transaction costs: 150,000 gas for a veSTG withdrawal, plus 150,000 gas for approval and conversion on Ethereum. An Ethereum lock therefore uses 300,000 gas; loose Ethereum STG uses 150,000 gas. An existing approval may reduce the actual work.

Cross-chain recovery cost is shown as unknown because it needs a bridge quote. That quote, source network gas and Ethereum gas all matter. Rollup data fees can also apply. Compare the complete fees with your balance before starting; the withdrawal simulation did not measure gas or test a bridge.

Deadline and what happens after

The official announcement and app state that conversion ends on December 15, 2026 and will not be supported after that date. They do not state a precise cutoff time or time zone. Complete the process early instead of relying on the final hours. No extension has been verified.

The verified converter source does not enforce a timestamp deadline. That does not promise access after the announced cutoff: the website can stop offering conversion, and the contract owner can withdraw its token backing. The announcement does not establish what STG will be worth afterward.

Safety

Only use stargate.finance for the withdrawal, bridge and conversion flow. No one from support will DM you to recover STG. Never share your seed phrase or private key. DeFi Checkup cannot withdraw or convert funds for you and never asks for wallet access or signatures.

FAQ

Must I wait until my veSTG lock expires?

No. All six listed deployments were globally unlocked when checked on 2026-11-10, and their verified withdrawal code skips the old lock-end requirement in that state.

Can I convert STG on Arbitrum, Optimism or BNB Chain?

Conversion is on Ethereum only. Withdraw on the original network if needed, then use the official Stargate flow to bridge STG to Ethereum before converting. Bridging alone does not produce ZRO.

What if the report has no dollar value?

The token amount is still shown. ZRO pricing is preferred at the fixed conversion rate; STG pricing is the fallback. If both prices are missing, compare the amount and the official app’s quote yourself.

Can I convert after December 15?

The official announcement says conversion will not be supported after that date. A contract without a timestamp cutoff does not guarantee a working app or available ZRO backing afterward.
