Stakers deposit funds into Stride from any Cosmos chain and receive a return on investment in the form of staking rewards (supply-side revenue).

Stride is a blockchain ("zone") in the Cosmos ecosystem that provides liquidity for staked tokens. Stride was founded by Aidan Salzmann, Vishal Talasani, and Riley Edmunds and launched in 2022.

STRD holders own and govern the Stride Blockchain. They currently take a cut of the total staking rewards earned by the protocol (revenue). The Stride blockchain is economically secured by staked ATOM via interchain security with the Cosmos Hub. Stride's investors include Pantera Capital, North Island Ventures, Distributed Global, Everstake, etc.
