Stride chain
Overview
Stride is a liquid staking protocol built on the Cosmos ecosystem that enables users to stake tokens from multiple Cosmos blockchains and receive representative staked tokens (e.g., stATOM, stOSMO). These staked tokens remain liquid and can be used across decentralized finance applications within the IBC network. The STRD token is the native governance and utility token of the Stride protocol.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Stride connects to 3 tracked entities, most strongly to Cosmos Hub, Cosmos SDK, Cosmos Hub.
