Live signals detected by Sentinel monitors across all five risk classes.
See each alert's affected component, root-cause analysis, and recommended action. Pro members get the full risk breakdown for every protocol.
Cross-chain bridges have historically relied on wrapped tokens, lock-and-mint mechanisms with fragmented liquidity, and unbounded slippage — leading to UX friction, exploit risk, and uncertain settlement.
Stargate uses unified single-sided liquidity pools per asset per chain, delivering native assets in and native assets out with instant guaranteed finality, powered by LayerZero messaging.
Category definer for the liquidity-pool bridge model (vs. lock-and-mint). Stargate V2 adds an AI Planner (AIPM) that dynamically rebalances per-chain credits, and Hydra for low-overhead onboarding of new chains via OFT wrappers.
