We’re super excited to announce that PoolParty, Stride’s first Testnet, is live!

With the successful launch of our public testnet behind us, we’re excited to announce Stride’s plans for our mainnet launch later this month. On our testnet, we support liquid staking of stATOM, but Stride’s vision is much broader: we aim to provide liquid staking for all chains in the Cosmos ecosystem.

Stride has been designed as an L1 appchain with liquid staking in mind: we leverage IBC technology to trustlessly provide staking tokens for any chain in the Cosmos ecosystem. The process to onboard new chains is simple; anyone can propose onboarding a new chain through a governance vote, which will automatically onboard the new chain if passed. At launch, we are prioritizing the largest Cosmos chains: we’ll launch with ATOM and 1-2 other high volume Cosmos chains.

After launch, we plan on rapidly expanding our reach throughout the Cosmos ecosystem. Some chains and tokens that we plan to onboard later this year are
