Stargate Connects Anubis Chain to LayerZero's 100-Plus Chain Network

Stargate Finance added support for Anubis Chain on November 5, 2026, plugging the privacy-focused network directly into more than 100 blockchains connected through LayerZero's interoperability protocol. The integration required no custom bridge and no new asset launch, according to the announcement.

Anubis Chain adopted LayerZero's OFT standard — Omnichain Fungible Token, a framework that lets a single token exist across many chains under one consistent total supply — to enable the connection. Because Anubis is EVM-compatible, developers already working in Ethereum-style environments can use Stargate's liquidity infrastructure without additional tooling.

What does the integration actually change?

The practical answer is plumbing. Anubis gains the ability to distribute stablecoins, real-world assets (RWAs) and other interoperable tokens across LayerZero-connected chains using liquidity already sitting in Stargate's pools.

That removes a familiar cost for a young network. Anubis does not need to launch a fresh round of liquidity incentives to attract capital; it can rely on cross-chain liquidity that Stargate has already accumulated. For a chain whose mainnet went live on April 8, 2026, that is a meaningful shortcut — capital access without the incentive spend that typically accompanies it.

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

Anubis by the numbers

Anubis Chain positions itself around privacy. It uses PLONK zero-knowledge proofs, a form of cryptography that lets a network verify a statement is true without revealing the underlying data. The network targets use cases in privacy, security and AI/AGI applications.

Its traction is measurable:

• Over 200 million cumulative transactions as of early November 2026
• Approximately 1.76 million accounts
• Peak transaction rates exceeding 2 million per day
• Roughly $333 million in total value locked across its DeFi ecosystem

For context, $333 million in TVL places the chain in the range of mid-tier DeFi networks — small against major chains, but substantial for a mainnet that is barely seven months old.

Stargate's role under LayerZero

Stargate Finance operates as LayerZero's flagship liquidity provider, a position formalized when the LayerZero Foundation acquired it in 2025. That acquisition shifted Stargate's financial center of gravity toward LayerZero's ZRO token, and holders of the original STG token can still convert to ZRO until December 15, 2026.

Each new chain integration strengthens the case that Stargate has become the default liquidity layer for the LayerZero ecosystem. Anubis is the latest addition to a network spanning more than 100 chains, and every connection reinforces the network effect: the more chains that join, the more useful the infrastructure becomes for the next chain weighing the decision.

For ZRO holders, that dynamic matters directly. With STG holders still migrating ahead of the December deadline, growth in Stargate's footprint now feeds into the LayerZero thesis rather than supporting a separate token economy.

The privacy tension worth watching

One strategic friction sits underneath the technical harmony. Anubis is built around privacy, while cross-chain liquidity is fundamentally about moving assets into and out of other, often fully transparent, networks. How the chain reconciles zero-knowledge architecture with omnichain asset flows will shape the practical value of the integration over time.

For developers evaluating Anubis, the immediate question is capital efficiency: assets now move across the LayerZero ecosystem with less friction, which could make the chain more attractive to teams building applications that depend on multi-chain distribution.

The STG-to-ZRO conversion window closes on December 15, 2026 — the nearest hard deadline in this story, and one that will complete the consolidation of Stargate's liquidity layer under the LayerZero banner.
