Summary
What we like
Stader abstracts away the challenges and risks around maintaining staking infrastructure by allowing users to delegate their BNB to professional node operators.
What we like less
Staking with Stader assumes greater security risks as the underlying smart contracts may be exploited. The treasury for Polygon BNBX is also controlled by a limited 2/3 multisig.
What it means for you
Stader's liquid staking protocol offers you a great way to stake your BNB and earn rewards for securing the BNB Chain while remaining liquid with BNBX.
