Back in April, dYdX governance liquid staked 20M DYDX tokens with Stride to bolster chain security.

What was so cool about this?

• No multisig was used. After dYdX gov voted to release the funds, they were automatically liquid staked and deposited back in the community

Stride will be live for it's FireStride Chat on Thursday 5PM UST w/ special guest Range

Tune in for some updates from the team, hear some Q&A, and possibly some upcoming alpha! Hope to see you there!

Are governance tokens really just memecoins with more steps?

Maybe some are - but not STRD.

Staked STRD earns 4.1% APR in real rewards, plus 3.1% APR paid in newly-emitted STRD. Total annual yield of 7.2%.

Real, sustainable, diversified rewards.

Yield tokenization is coming to the interchain 🔜

Pendle's success has driven a demand for similar products in the Cosmos Ecosystem.

Apps like Pryzm , FrizzanteFinance , and Fission Finance will bring a host of new yield opportunities for LST holders in the coming weeks. 🔥

what if we told you there's a way to get stATOM without liquid staking 😲

you can swap any token in your wallet for stATOM, with swaps on Leap 🔁

get the best rates for Stride swaps right inside your wallet

try it out now!

Using liquid staked tokens like stATOM and stTIA as collateral, you'll soon be able to trade perps on Mars Protocol 🔴 while continuing to earn staking rewards 👀

Simply deposit stTokens into your Mars credit account and start trading! 🤝

Congrats on your Cosmos Hub prop passing, DCF 🎉

190K ATOM from the community pool will now be:

• Liquid staked
• Used as collateral to mint IST
• Half the IST swapped for USDC
• IST/USDC provided to Cosmos DEXes

Decentralized collaboration to bolster Cosmos DeFi 💪

Many huge DeFi chains launching in the Celestia / Cosmos ecosystem in the coming months.

Eclipse 🌑 and @Movementlabsxyz are two major upcoming Eth L2s with Celestia DA.

@Berachain and @InitiaFDN are two big, innovative upcoming Cosmos chains.

Keep your eye on these chains.

. @Mars_Protocol is thriving!

Despite the recent market down-turn, Mars TVL remains at $22.5M - just 10% off its recent ATH.

Of that, $5.3M is Stride LSTs.

As yield-bearing tokens with decent LTV ratios, Stride LSTs are great collateral in a Mars credit account 💪

Over on @Inter_Protocol, there's nearly $5M worth of Stride LSTs backing the decentralized stablecoin IST.

With a mint fee of 0.5% and a borrow rate of just 0.75%, Inter Protocol is one of the most efficient ways to leverage Cosmos tokens 💪

Inter Protocol 🤝 Stride

Stride OSMO TVL at an all-time-high of 25M! 🤩

stOSMO in DeFi also at an ATH. Over $5M worth of stOSMO currently deployed as collateral across the Cosmos ecosystem.

After USDC and stATOM, stOSMO is the 3rd most popular native Cosmos collateral.

@OsmosisZone 🤝 @Stride_Zone

🛰️ stTIA HLS Market Deployed

Moments ago, after a successful governance vote, the following key upgrade has been deployed on Mars:

🔴 stTIA High Leverage Strategies (HLS) market with $TIA as debt asset and $stTIA as collateral on Mars’ Osmosis 🧪 outpost.

Tldr 🧵👇

Staked tokens = 🧊

Liquid staked tokens =💧

Be liquid.

1/ Cosmos Hub provides @Stride_Zone with security through ICS, which is a form of restaking.

Staked ATOM simultaneously secures both the Hub and Stride.

But how much does Stride currently pay the Hub for security? Let's take a look 🧵
