Stader MaticX is a liquid staking token designed to represent a user's share of the total MATIC pool deposited with Stader. It allows users to participate in staking MATIC tokens without the need to lock them up, thereby maintaining liquidity. This token is primarily aimed at providing a liquid staking solution for MATIC tokens, enabling users to earn staking rewards while being able to engage in various DeFi activities.
Stader MaticX operates on the Polygon network, utilizing its Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Users can stake their MATIC tokens via smart contracts, which are audited by reputable security firms. When MATIC is staked, users receive MaticX tokens, which can then be used across various DeFi platforms. The staking process involves accessing the Stader dApp, connecting a wallet, and confirming the transaction. There is no minimum staking value or lockup period, allowing for flexible staking and unstaking processes.
Stader MaticX offers multiple use cases within the DeFi ecosystem:
Stader MaticX was developed by Stader Labs, founded by Amitej Gajjala, Sid, and Dheeraj. The project aims to simplify staking while enabling users to explore DeFi opportunities. Stader Labs launched its liquid staking solution on Polygon, quickly achieving significant milestones such as accumulating over $820 million in total value locked (TVL) and more than 30,000 users shortly after its launch. The platform continues to integrate with various DeFi platforms and actively participates in updates like Polygon 2.0.
