Stride has completed 10 audits from multiple industry leaders in blockchain security.
Audits
INFORMAL SYSTEMS
Informal's IBC experts have audited Stride a total of 7 times over the span of Stride's existence, covering all of its features and security measures.
OAK SECURITY
Oak Security has taken a close look at Stride's infrastructure two times now, covering its core functionality and ICA oracle contracts.
CERTIK
Back when Stride launched in 2022, the blockchain security experts at Certik have audited the architecture of the MVP for security.

FAQ
You asked. We answer.
What is liquid staking?
Staked tokens earn staking rewards, but the trade-off is staked tokens are locked. While staked, tokens cannot be transferred, sold, or used in DeFi.
Liquid staking lets users earn staking rewards without needing to lock their tokens. Through liquid staking, users can transfer, sell, or use their tokens in DeFi - all while earning staking rewards.
How do Stride’s liquid staked tokens work?
A liquid staked token (LST) is a receipt token that represents a staked token.
For example, stATOM represents staked ATOM. When a user deposits ATOM with Stride, Stride stakes the ATOM and issues stATOM to the user. Unlike ATOM, stATOM automatically earns staking rewards. At any time, stATOM may be used to redeem the underlying ATOM.
Are Stride’s LSTs rebasing?
Stride LSTs are non-rebasing. This means that Stride LSTs constantly appreciate in value against the underlying staked token.
For example, every day the amount of ATOM that can be redeemed by 1 stATOM increases. This is due to accumulating staking rewards. Today, 1 stATOM = 1.33 ATOM. Every day this redemption rate increases, such that 1 stATOM is gradually worth more ATOM.
How do I claim my staking rewards for Stride LSTs?
Staking rewards automatically accrue to the value of a Stride LST. This means that if you hold stATOM, every day it will be worth slightly more ATOM. This gradual appreciation in value against the underlying token is how users benefit from staking rewards.
What can I do with Stride LSTs?
With normal staking, your token just sits there earning staking rewards. You can’t do anything with it.
But with liquid staking, you can do all sorts of things with your tokens - all while earning staking rewards. You can trade on a DEX, provide liquidity on a DEX, use your LST as collateral to take out a loan, collateralize a perpetual futures position, and more! See the Stride DeFi page.

Does Stride charge a fee?
In order to be sustainable, secure, and responsible, Stride protocol diverts 10% of staking rewards from liquid staked tokens. Of that, 8.5 percentage points is rewarded to staked STRD, while the remaining 1.5 percentage points is directed to staked ATOM on the Cosmos Hub blockchain, as part of Stride’s interchain security deal with Cosmos Hub.
What security features does Stride have?
Security is Stride’s #1 priority. Everything begins and ends with security.
Stride protocol has been audited by three different security firms, and receives continuous auditing of all new code.
Stride blockchain uses interchain security from Cosmos Hub, giving it ~$3B worth of economic security. In terms of economic security, this ranks Stride chain in the top 20 of all PoS chains in crypto.
Stride blockchain uses IBC rate-limiting, which would greatly mitigate any potential incidents by limiting the amount of tokens that can be removed from the Stride blockchain.
Stride contributors work closely with the best Cosmos builders to ensure mutual code security, including Informal, Hypha, Iqlusion, Osmosis Labs, Delphi Labs, Notional, Strangelove, and others. [links to X for these entities]
What’s the purpose of the STRD Token?
STRD is the governance token for the Stride blockchain. The Stride blockchain functions as a DAO, and no changes can be made to the Stride liquid staking protocol without STRD stakers voting in favor.
When staked, STRD can vote in governance. Additionally, staked STRD earns staking rewards in the form of 1) staking rewards diverted from liquid staked tokens and 2) a small amount of newly-emitted STRD.
How does interchain security work?
Interchain security means that staked ATOM on Cosmos Hub provides economic security for both Cosmos Hub chain and Stride chain. This is a form of restaking, similar to Eigen Layer.
Using ATOM for economic security gives Stride billions of dollars worth of economic security, putting Stride in the top 20 PoS chains ranked by economic security.
