If approved, this will effectively dissolve the autonomous organization.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge,\u00a0<span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/layerzero-official\/the-omnichain-future-is-here-74389f6d70c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">launched<\/a> over three years ago, has reportedly generated over $70 billion in trading volume and hosts the majority of OFT\u2019s (Omnichain Fungible Tokens), <\/span>a universal token standard used to send, receive, and compose assets across all blockchains.<\/p>\n<p>The current offer is $0.1675 per token, compared to $0.1637, which was applicable at the time of the foundation\u2019s post, as the data at press time differs. The conversion was intended to swap all circulating STG (including staked\/voting tokens) for ZRO (Layer Zero\u2019s native token) at a ratio of 1 STG: 0.08634 ZRO, reflecting a value of $0.1675 per STG and $1.94 per ZRO.<\/p>\n<p>Following this, the bridge will be integrated into the Layer Zero ecosystem, and any future revenue generated by it will be utilized in a buyback program aimed at reducing the circulating supply of ZRO.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion period will be open for 7 days, after which the proposal will be moved to Snapshot (voting platform) for a three-day period. Quorum is set at 1.2M veSTG (staked STG), and the approval threshold is 70% for the vote to pass.<\/p>\n<p>There is already commentary from governance holders on the forum announcement and from the community on the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LayerZero_Core\/status\/1954592339789500518\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post<\/a> on X, with a mix of positive and negative sentiment, as well as discussion on how this would affect STG holders.<\/p>\n<h2>Price Reaction<\/h2>\n<p>As noted above, after the proposal went live both tokens have posted some signifcant gains from yesterday, with STG up 20% to $0.1965 and ZRO at $2.42, up 26%, respectively, at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>If we are to take the original bid of 1 STG to 0.08634 ZRO with current prices, that would correlate to $0.1961 per STG and $2.42 per ZRO. Naturally, the deal itself is now more expensive, taking into account the overall increase in both token prices; it is now approximately $137 million, which is a respectable jump of $27 million in\u00a0just under 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Given the positive price action from the buyout proposal, along with varied feedback on its potential impact on the community, it will be interesting to see how the deal unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/layerzero-proposes-110-million-buyback-stg-and-zro-price-explode\/\">LayerZero Proposes $110 Million Buyback: STG and ZRO Price Explode<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The foundation has different plans for the bridge and has made a buyout offer to the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that governs it.
