About SD
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.
