On June 25, 2024, 30 million SD tokens (20% of total supply) were burned, reducing total supply from 150 million to 120 million SD.
Circulating supply is approximately 71.95 million SD, about 60% of max supply. 21.25% (25.5 million SD) is allocated to the team and advisors, subject to a 6-month cliff.
Supply figures per Stader Labs tokenomics documentation and CoinMarketCap (coinmarketcap.com/currencies/stader).
Stader was founded in 2021 by Amitej Gajjala (CEO), Dheeraj Borra, and Sidhartha Doddipatla (CTO). The project is developed and governed by Stader Labs. The team has backgrounds from prestigious institutions and tech companies, bringing deep expertise in smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), and blockchain infrastructure. Stader operates as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), meaning the SD token holders collectively guide the protocol's future development, treasury management, and key parameter decisions through on-chain governance votes.
Stader Labs announced a $12.5 million strategic raise. The ICO price was $4.5 and the seed price was $0.45; the public sale allocated 6 million SD, with an initial circulating supply of 4.5 million SD.
Stader operates as a multi-chain staking middleware. It provides a unified interface for users to stake native tokens (like ETH, MATIC, or BNB) on various Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks. When users deposit their assets, Stader mints a corresponding Liquid Staking Token (LST), such as ETHx or MATICx. These LSTs represent the user's staked assets plus accrued rewards. Users can deploy these LSTs across 40+ DeFi protocols, including Aave and Curve, for lending, liquidity provision, or collateral, while continuing to earn staking rewards. On the backend, Stader distributes the deposited assets across a curated set of professional node operators and validators to optimize for security, decentralization, and reward yield. The protocol manages the complexities of validator selection, slashing insurance, and reward distribution automatically.
Stader's primary value proposition is its multi-chain focus and commitment to user-centric design.
Multi-Chain Strategy: Unlike many single-chain staking protocols, Stader deploys its audited, battle-tested smart contracts across multiple major blockchains. This approach captures liquidity and users from various ecosystems, reducing dependency on any single network's performance.
Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs): Stader's LSTs unlock liquidity for staked assets. This solves the traditional staking problem of locked, non-transferable capital, allowing users to participate in DeFi and maintain financial flexibility.
Focus on Security & Decentralization: Stader allocates a portion of protocol fees to insurance pools that protect users against rare validator slashing events and smart contract vulnerabilities, and validators stake xSD to provide slashing insurance. Its multi-operator model prevents centralization of stake and enhances network resilience.
SD Token Utility: The SD token is integral to the ecosystem's flywheel. It is used for governance, fee discounts on the platform, and as a staking asset to secure Stader's partner chains (like the Hedera network), creating consistent demand drivers.
The SD token serves multiple critical functions within the Stader ecosystem:
Governance: Staking SD yields xSD, an auto-compounding token that carries governance rights; validators stake xSD to receive preferential delegations and provide slashing insurance.
Fee Discounts: Users can stake SD tokens to receive discounts on protocol fees associated with minting or redeeming Liquid Staking Tokens.
Chain Security: SD can be staked by node operators on specific partner chains (e.g., Hedera) to participate in network consensus and earn additional rewards, further integrating Stader into those ecosystems.
Community Incentives: The protocol uses SD tokens to reward liquidity providers for SD pairs and to incentivize user participation in various ecosystem initiatives.
SD is listed on several major centralized exchanges, including OKX, Coinbase, Binance, Crypto.com, and Revolut. Check each venue's availability in your jurisdiction before trading.
Stader's private sale investors include Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Jump Crypto, Blockchain.com, and True Ventures; its ecosystem partners include Ledger, Aave, Balancer, and Anchorage.
Stader's smart contracts have been audited by Sigma Prime, Halborn, Peckshield, and OtterSec.
Stader's platform lists Ethereum and Hedera as supported networks, while its broader multi-chain roadmap references Terra, Solana, Near, Avalanche, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Fantom.
Like any cryptocurrency, SD carries risks. Its price can be volatile, and regulatory treatment of digital assets varies by jurisdiction and may change. Smart contract vulnerabilities, validator slashing, and technical failures in underlying networks could also affect the protocol and the value of SD.
