Stader (SD) is the native governance and utility token of Stader Labs, a multi-chain staking infrastructure platform that simplifies and optimizes the staking experience for users, validators, and institutions. Stader enables users to stake native tokens across various blockchains like Ethereum, Hedera, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Fantom, and Terra 2.0, while offering enhanced yield strategies and liquid staking solutions. At its core, Stader builds modular smart contracts and staking middleware that allow ecosystem participants to delegate tokens securely, earn rewards, and gain liquidity on their staked assets. For example, stakers can receive liquid staking tokens (LSTs) such as ETHx (on Ethereum) or MaticX (on Polygon), which can be used in DeFi protocols while continuing to earn staking yields. The SD token powers governance across all supported chains and products in the Stader ecosystem. It is also used to incentivize protocol usage, reward liquidity providers, and align interests across the community, developers, and node operators. SD holders can vote on upgrades, fee parameters, and strategy changes through decentralized governance mechanisms. Stader is built to support institutional-grade staking as well as user-friendly staking tools for retail users. With audited smart contracts, multi-chain support, and DeFi integration, Stader is positioned as a comprehensive solution for the future of secure, scalable staking across Web3.
SD tokens can be purchased on cryptocurrency exchanges, including Bybit, Gate.io, HTX, OKX, and KuCoin. Decentralized trading platforms include Uniswap, Balancer, Quickswap, and Thena.
SD is available on multiple chains and can be stored in compatible wallets, such as Bitcoin.com Wallet for Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon networks, and Trust Wallet for Fantom blockchain.
Stader is a multi-chain staking infrastructure protocol that provides smart contract-based staking solutions, including liquid staking tokens and yield optimization strategies across several blockchains.
SD is used for governance, protocol incentives, fee payments, and aligning network participants. Token holders can vote on upgrades, parameter changes, and future strategy via the Stader DAO.
Liquid staking allows users to stake assets and receive a tokenized version of the staked asset (like ETHx or MaticX), which can then be used in DeFi while continuing to earn staking rewards.
Stader supports Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Hedera, Fantom, and Terra 2.0, with plans to expand to other major Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks.
ETHx is Stader’s liquid staking token on Ethereum. It allows users to stake ETH and receive ETHx, which can be used across DeFi while still accruing staking rewards.
Governance is driven by SD token holders, who can vote on key protocol parameters, upgrades, and incentive structures through proposals and on-chain voting.
Yes. Validators can integrate with Stader to gain delegations and participate in its staking pools. Requirements vary by chain and are detailed in the Stader documentation.
Yes. Stader’s smart contracts are audited by leading firms to ensure the safety and reliability of its staking infrastructure across all supported blockchains.
