Stader

Stader is a non-custodial, smart contract-driven liquid staking platform that facilitates easy discovery and utilization of staking solutions across multiple Proof-of-Stake blockchain networks. The platform enables users to stake any amount of tokens and earn auto-compounded rewards while receiving liquid staking tokens that can be freely traded or used across over 40 DeFi protocols, eliminating traditional lock-up periods. Stader supports networks including Ethereum, Hedera, and Polygon, and offers an SD Utility Pool that allows users to contribute to Ethereum decentralization by delegating SD tokens for double-digit rewards. The platform serves retail cryptocurrency users, exchanges, and custodians as essential staking middleware infrastructure. Stader differentiates itself through best-in-class security with audits from Sigma Prime, Halborn, Peckshield, Code4rena, and OtterSec, multi-sig account protection, and continuous on-chain monitoring. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Singapore, Stader has raised approximately 6.5 million in a Series A round with backing from Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Jump Capital, True Ventures, and Three Arrows Capital.
