Stride: Proposal to Merge with the Cosmos Hub

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

Stride launches Sept 4 last year and ships a Liquid Staking Module that lets users convert ATOM to stATOM immediately, with a 25% cap safety limit; the chain issues 10 stokens (more than any other protocol) and now holds over 4 million ATOM liquid-staked. Stride migrates to Interchain Security, gaining billions in economic security. Proposal outlines a merger where STRD is provisioned and burned for newly issued ATOM, the Hub gains governance and 100% of protocol rewards, and the team aligns via vesting and KPIs.
