Stader Labs

 

Stader Labs is a multi-chain liquid staking platform that provides non-custodial staking infrastructure for Proof-of-Stake blockchains. The protocol allows users to stake supported crypto assets and receive liquid staking tokens representing their staked positions, enabling them to continue participating in DeFi while earning staking rewards. Stader's liquid staking ecosystem includes products such as ETHx for Ethereum and HBARX for Hedera. The platform is also developing modular staking infrastructure that can be integrated by exchanges, custodians, and other Web3 applications.
