Stargate2026-07-28 14:07:20Stargate integrates NEAR IntentsStargate, the cross-chain protocol under LayerZero, has integrated NEAR Intents, according to a post from NEAR Protocol on X. The update is intended to support selected cross-chain routing paths within the Stargate ecosystem. The announcement did not disclose additional technical details beyond the scope of support for specific routes. The development links Stargate’s cross-chain infrastructure with NEAR Intents and marks a new integration between the two ecosystems. The source cited for the update is the NEAR Protocol account on X.1890
LayerZero2026-07-26 02:34:36LayerZero to End Offchain Support for 20 Chains as Stargate Users Face Asset Withdrawal DeadlinesLayerZero said it will phase out offchain support for 20 low-activity blockchains, with the first shutdown taking effect on July 30. The move covers LayerZero Labs-operated DVN and Executor services, while Stargate v2 will also drop support for five of those chains: Botanix, EDU Chain, Aurora, Taiko, and LightLink. The company warned that users who do not bridge or redeem affected assets before each chain’s cutoff date could lose access to their funds. The timeline is split across four dates: July 30, July 31, August 28, and September 30. LayerZero also provided chain-specific instructions for Stargate users holding assets such as USDC.e, wETH, USDT, S*USDC, and S*ETH. In several cases, users are asked to bridge assets back to Stargate Pools or withdraw liquidity before support ends. LayerZero said the shutdown applies to its managed offchain services rather than onchain Endpoint contracts, which remain deployed and immutable. Even so, without official verification and execution services, cross-chain messaging on those networks will effectively lose LayerZero’s operational support. The announcement points users toward deeper-liquidity destinations including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BSC.3720
LayerZero2026-07-25 00:45:19LayerZero to phase out off-chain support for 20 low-activity blockchainsLayerZero said on X that it will gradually end off-chain support for 20 low-activity blockchains, with DVN and Executor services for the affected networks set to go offline in stages. The company also warned that users holding related Stargate assets need to complete cross-chain migrations before the deadline. The update focuses on low-activity networks and outlines an operational shutdown rather than a broader protocol change. Users with exposure to the affected Stargate assets are being asked to take action within the stated timeframe to avoid disruption once support is withdrawn. No additional details on the list of chains or the exact deadline were included in the brief announcement cited by ChainCatcher.2240

LayerZero2026-07-15 08:24:53LayerZero executor wallet suspected in exploit with about $2.1 million in lossesSpecter said a LayerZero executor wallet appears to have been compromised in an incident spanning multiple blockchains, with total losses estimated at about $2.1 million. The stolen assets were then bridged to Ethereum through Stargate and Relay, according to the monitoring update. Specter added that the attacker currently holds 955 ETH, valued at about $1.78 million, along with 322,000 USDC. The firm also said CyversAlerts, a blockchain security organization, was the first to spot the unusual activity. The post did not provide additional technical details on how the wallet was compromised.1730
