19.77% of total token supply acquired through institutional purchases, early investor buyouts, and LayerZero buybacks, with the majority being buyouts of upcoming unlocks and early investors.

ZRO will be the staking asset and gas asset within Zero, with all excess fees from priority fees (state contention), tips/MEV, trading fees from the markets zone, and payment fees from the payment zone flowing to ZRO.

Once the fee switch is turned on within LayerZero, every LayerZero message will have a fee that goes to ZRO, and all economic value generated by Zero, LayerZero, and Stargate goes directly to ZRO.

Uses LayerZero OFT standard for cross-chain token transfers, with STG bridged as part of $44 billion in total OFT-powered assets.

Launches L1 blockchain "Zero" scheduled for Fall 2026, with 2M TPS capacity, QMDB database (3M updates/sec), FAFO parallel execution engine (1.2M EVM TPS), Jolt Pro ZK proving system (1.61 GHz per cell), and SVID data availability layer (10 GB/s throughput).

Approximately 45M ZRO tokens unlock monthly through 2027, split between VCs at roughly $22M/month and team at roughly $18M/month, representing about 11% of circulating market cap in monthly insider selling pressure.

Stargate generates approximately $5M/year in buybacks, representing a 0.3% yield against ZRO's fully diluted valuation of $1.8B.

Protocol fee switch governance proposal, which would enable fees to flow to ZRO holders, failed twice—once in June 2025 with only 13% quorum and again in December 2025 with insufficient quorum—with the next attempt scheduled for June 2026.

Uses 50% of revenue in the initial six months post-acquisition (starting September 2025) for monthly ZRO token buybacks, having purchased over 1.13 million ZRO tokens (0.11% of supply) with a cost basis of approximately $1.63 million from September through December 2025.

Will be live on megaETH at the network's launch, supporting ETH, USDm, USDT0, pufETH, cUSD, stcUSD, USDE, and sUSDe tokens.
