Smart contract infrastructure for Staking
Content on this page was provided by the Stader team
Stader’s vision is to help network users stake their assets conveniently and safely through its platform. It is doing this by building key staking middleware infrastructure for Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks that can be leveraged for several customer segments including retail crypto users, exchanges, custodians, and mainstream FinTech players. Stader’s modular smart contracts are built so that third parties can leverage their components and incorporate custom solutions.
Stader is building native smart contracts across multiple chains including Terra, Solana, Ethereum, Fantom, Hedera, Polygon, and building an economic ecosystem to grow and develop solutions such as yield redirection with rewards, liquid staking, launchpads, gaming, and more.
Positioning itself for long-term growth, Stader will seek to focus on nurturing third parties to develop several staking applications with Stader infrastructure.
Building on this early success, Stader has developed plans to launch products on Solana and major EVM powered chains. Upcoming partnerships with exchanges and custodians will help Stader expand its user base and community in a scalable manner. Stader will seek to expand the platform’s offering to include products for institutional investors and validators.
SD Tokens will earn revenue through three mechanisms:
1. Commission on reward strategies: 3-10% management fees on staking rewards, if elected by governance stakers.
2. Commission on liquid staking tokens: 5-10% commission on staking rewards, if elected by governance stakers.
3. Distribution commission from validators: 10-20% distribution fees on validator commissions, if elected by governance stakers.
SD Token provides various core utilities across the Stader ecosystem:
1. Preferential delegations and Insurance: Validators will stake a minimum amount of SD Tokens and a percentage of delegations to the pool will be proportionately allocated based on SD Tokens staked. Slashing insurance will be provided by validators via the staked SD Tokens.
2. Rewards and discounts:
3. Governance: Governance stakers can propose and vote on policies related to the Stader protocol strategy, expansion, validator pool selection, validator selection, changes in methodologies, and more.
4. Development access to Stader infrastructure: Third parties, including developers, need to stake SD Tokens to access Stader smart contracts and product features such as customized staking smart contracts, validator intelligence tools etc.

As staking technology evolves, the Stader architecture allows flexibility to grow and incorporate new features. Extensibility is woven into Stader’s technical blueprint, with a system of highly-interactive smart contracts. Incorporating a new strategy or product features would require minor changes in a specific independent contract.
Below is a preview of a few core smart contracts that are the building blocks of Stader’s infrastructure:
1. Delegator Contract - Delegators’ funds will be deposited and can be withdrawn from this contract.
2. Validator Contract - Stakes the delegator funds. Claims rewards and airdrops.
3. Pools Contract - Administrator of validator contract. Manages delegations across each validator pool and supports multiple pools.
4. Strategies Contract - Leverages staking rewards and synthetic assets to interact/integrate with other DeFi/Gaming protocols to amplify yields.
With Stader’s smart contracts designed in a modular way, it enables opportunities for third parties to interact with any of their smart contracts and build additional staking use-cases.
Stader has raised a total funding of $16.5 M USD from several top venture funds and blockchain foundations.
