What is Stader Labs?

Stader Labs is a non-custodial innovative contract-based staking platform that helps you conveniently discover and access staking solutions. PoS networks use validators who create, propose, or vote on blocks added to the blockchain.

Outstanding Features

What is the unique selling point?

At Stader, our mission is to simplify staking & offer the best risk-adjusted returns to delegators. We imagine a future where our DeFi building blocks on staking unleashes a new world of staking derivatives.

In the long run, Stader would be a platform for DAOs and developers to build their custom staking solutions consisting of chosen validator pools, Staking-based cross-asset ETFs (equivalent to an S&P 500 index that additionally pays out interest).

Stader envisions five significant groups of staking products that can cater to the majority of the
demand:

Protect principal assets and build an ecosystem around rewards.
Decentralized Liquid staking tokens of various types.
Leverage staking rewards for entertainment.
Staking platforms for institutions.
All-in-one staking APIs for exchanges.

Principal protection in base assets and ecosystems built around staking rewards

Most crypto users would like to hold and stake their PoS assets long-term while leveraging rewards to either
fund expenses or amplify yields.

Passive income strategies (e.g., funding expenses, subscriptions, etc.).
Launchpads for new projects, NFTs, and games, built on staked assets using
rewards, and preferential allocations for stakers.
Amplify yields via liquidity/yield farming of rewards on DeFi.
Derivatives strategies to hedge base token price and yields.

Decentralized liquid tokens of various types

Basic rebasing liquid tokens (e.g. stEth, sdEth).
Liquid token on principal assets while rewards are directed towards other DeFi
strategies (e.g., Anchor-style liquid token).
Liquid tokens that increase in price (e.g., stake pool tokens on Solana).
Liquid tokens are based on the refraction of the base token into principal and yield tokens.

Leverage staking rewards for entertainment

Crypto games today don’t have an inherent way to generate yields. People can participate in crypto games while maintaining their principal position in crypto assets. Meanwhile, gaming protocols can leverage staking yields to fund prizes and rewards. Examples of types of games that could be powered include:

No-loss lotteries
Prediction markets
Fantasy leagues
Complex games

Staking platforms for institutions

Adoption of crypto by the institutional segment will skyrocket in the next few years and they will need a simple staking platform that is optimized for taxation and regulatory compliances while helping them manage governance and voting.

All-in-one staking APIs for exchanges

As the next billion consumers enter crypto via mainstream apps and exchanges, they would like to get the value-added services right in these apps. There emerges an opportunity for an API service that provides access to all staking solutions with a single integration.

Lastly, there will emerge a need for a staking infrastructure layer that enables multi-chain staking with several staking applications being built on top which can cater to these different segments of delegators. In the long run, Stader aims to be the platform that will enable users to discover these opportunities while empowering third parties to build applications on top of Stader’s infrastructure.
