I recently mentioned that my $1200 transfer via Stargate Finance had been stuck yesterday, December 20. After hours of frustration and waiting, I finally got it back. Here’s the full story—and what I decided to do with that money.  

The Recovery  

First off, getting my funds back wasn’t easy. No one on Stargate Finance’s Discord or Telegram could give me a clear answer on what happened. Their lack of communication was unsettling. It took persistence, but thankfully, my funds were restored.  

The Plan: Turning Frustration into Opportunity  

The recovered funds were split into two parts:  

1. Short Selling STG on Hyperliquid

A portion of my funds was in USDC, and I immediately deposited it on Hyperliquid. What did I do? I started short selling STG, the token of Stargate Finance. Why?  

Because after my experience, I’m convinced that whatever caused the issue will likely happen again—and next time, the consequences could be even worse. If their user support and infrastructure don’t improve, STG is going to dump hard.

2. Positioning for the Next ETH Airdrop  

The rest of my funds were in weETH. I deposited it on Mitosis to prepare for their next Ether.Fi + Eigenlayer airdrop. I’m bullish on these projects, and investing regularly often pays off big in the long run.

My Takeaway  

This experience was a mix of stress and opportunity. Stargate Finance’s hiccup taught me that every DeFi challenge can lead to a strategy—if you know where to look. Whether it’s trading on volatility or prepping for airdrops, there’s always a way to make your money work for you.
