THE VISION

We supercharge
IBC Eureka

Swap anything → anywhere using Skip:Go with best-in-class execution on your trade via Stride.

Purpose built for the Cosmos Hub.

Rolling out features throughout 2025

The best swap prices

Don’t leave money on the table! Get more tokens when you trade on Stride. How? Liquidity is managed by professionals: market makers and vault managers. Learn more here.

All tokens, chains, wallets

We support your favorite wallets, including Metamask. Trade any token: ETH, ATOM, stablecoins, new L1 tokens. No need to deposit or withdraw, just swap!

This DEX has superpowers

Set limit orders, pay gas in any token, and DCA using hooks. Earn more yield using vaults and integrated liquid staking. Stay in the action. Eureka tokens are incentivized to list on Stride first!

BUY BACK AND BURN

Stride revenue fuels ATOM and STRD

Fees from the Stride DEX and Liquid Staking automatically buy back and burn both STRD (80%) and ATOM (20%). This steadily reduces token supply and aligns Stride’s value with the Hub.

Roadmap

SUMMER 2025

DEX goes live

Eureka integration: Skip:go will use Stride’s liquidity

Multichain UX: No deposits / withdraws for swapping anywhere within Cosmos and Ethereum

Pay gas in any token

Q3 2025

Advanced trading features

Dollar cost average: Enter/exit positions over specific time window, automatically

Limit orders: Set a buy/sell price and it’ll automatically execute when that price is hit

Programmatic fees: Revenue share for partnerships, variable fees, and more

Q3 2025

Integrate Liquid Staking & Lending

Smart LST swap routing: Always get the best price when interacting with Stride LSTs

DEX <> LST fee sharing: Direct fees from LSTs and their corresponding pools back and forth to increase liquidity, or maximize yield

Idle LPs earn yield: If your position goes out of range, it will be converted to an LST or supplied on a lending market to keep earning yield

Q4 2025

Add Solana Support

Swap from/to Solana

Phantom + Backback: Key Solana wallets supported

SOL and SPL-20 listings: We’ll list SOL, BONK, WIF etc.

Internalized LST arbitrage: The DEX can mint and trade automatically to keep the LSTs pegged

2026

Add more ecosystems

10+ new blockchains: Stride will support new blockchain ecosystems as they are added to IBC v2 throughout 2026

QUOTES

Stride has a track-record of reliability, accountability, and success

Stride represents one of the most talented teams in the Cosmos ecosystem, and we are excited to work together to bring a core primitive for DeFi to flourish in Cosmos: an IBC Eureka-native DEX. While IBC Eureka provides the rails and routing to access any protocol anywhere, Stride will provide a key liquidity hub to trade multichain seamlessly. We are excited to see the array of new applications this will enable around the Cosmos Hub

Magmar

Co-CEO @ Interchain Labs

The Hub has entered a new product-focused era and Stride is playing a critical role. A fast moving Hub-aligned team that built the best liquid staking solution in Cosmos, they're the perfect fit for building the next generation products for the Hub.

Ethan Buchmann

Founder @ Cosmos

Stride Swap and Eureka represent the right strategic path for both ATOM and STRD—positioning the Cosmos Hub and Stride to capture real value as IBC adoption and cross-chain activity accelerate. We’re proud to support the Stride team—they’ve consistently executed with focus, rigor, and a clear vision for Cosmos’ future.

Cosmo Jiang

Investor @ Pantera Capital

Stride is now IBC’s “Stargate”. This add adds huge value for STRD by putting it at the heart of cross-chain trades.

Stride is the team to build ties across chains. They leveled up Cosmos BD, partnering with more DeFi protocols than any other team in Cosmos. Execution on product and distribution is part of their DNA.

Frequently asked questions

When will the DEX go live?

We aim to go live with the DEX in summer 2025, alongside a smart contract platform (VM) on the Cosmos Hub.

What sets you apart from other DEXs?

We are optimized for swap efficiency on IBC Eureka assets. We support all tokens, chains, and wallets: trade with Metamask + no need to deposit or withdraw your tokens — just swap. We support advanced trading features that make the DEX feel like a CEX, including vaults, integrated staking, and hooks.

How are you partnering with Interchain Foundation?

Interchain Foundation (ICF) has invested in Stride. Interchain Labs (ICL) has partnered with Stride Labs to align the development of Stride Swap with IBC and other key products. Given Stride Swap's DEX and LST products are complementary to Eureka as an offering, both teams will be able to pitch them to chains as a complete offering. This will happen organically, due to aligned incentives. ICL is committed with Stride to building out Eureka on the Cosmos Hub and unlocking DeFi in Cosmos, for which Stride Swap is key.

How do IBC Eureka and Skip:Go work?

IBC Eureka connects Cosmos to Ethereum and soon every large blockchain. Skip:Go is the default Cosmos routing frontend, accessible at https://go.cosmos.network/.

Will you keep offering liquid staking (stATOM, etc.)?

Yes. Stride’s liquid staking isn’t going anywhere. stATOM is here to stay.

Once we launch the IBC Eureka DEX, we’ll integrate liquid staking into the DEX to give users more opportunities to earn yield.

What will happen to Stride chain?

Stride chain isn’t going anywhere. Stride will remain an L1, and continue offering liquid staking.

The DEX will be deployed on the Cosmos Hub, but Stride’s LSTs will be issued and redeemed through Stride L1. Stride’s consensus will transition from ICS to PSS.

How does this impact the STRD token?

The STRD token is gaining utility. Now, revenues from both Stride’s DEX and its LSTs are used to buyback & burn STRD.

STRD retains its role in protocol governance.
