Things to know about MATICX

What is Stader?

Stader is a multichain liquid staking platform for Proof-of-Stake blockchain assets that allows users to stake their asset without needing to lock assets or maintain the required infrastructure. This enables users to continue participating in DeFi activities related to lending and market making.

How does MATICX work?

Users receive MATIX tokens when depositing their MATIC into the Stader staking contract. Stader will calculate the current MATICX-MATIC ratio (at the time of staking) and send the corresponding amount to the user. The MATICX represents the user's share of the total supply of MATIC tokens inside Stader. It is a non-rebase token which means the balance in the user's wallet does not change. Instead, the value of the token is changing as Stader earns staking rewards or incurs any penalties. There are no lock-up or minimum deposit requirements when staking through Stader.

How to redeem back for MATIC?

MATIC deposited into the Stader staking contract is subsequently delegated across Polygon validators that are part of Stader on the Polygon network. Users who wish to unstake must wait an unbonding period of 2-3 days. In the meantime, users can always exchange their MATICX for MATIC through exchanges that offer liquidity like Quickswap's MATICX-MATIC pool.
