What is Stader-MaticX?

What we like

Stader abstracts away the challenges and risks around maintaining staking infrastructure by allowing users to delegate their MATIC 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 MaticX 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 MATIC and earn rewards for securing the Polygon network while remaining liquid with MATICX.

Risk Assessment

Good

Protocol Code Quality

Code reviewed by several experienced auditors including Halborn and ImmuneBytes
Public team promotes accountability
No documented protocol hacks since launch

Protocol Maturity

Core protocol launched in 2022; maturity over one year minimizes technical risk as smart contracts are well battle-tested
Top 20% by total value locked slightly reduces risk
Multisig wallet controls protocol upgrades
Multisig consists of less than 4 signers, which makes the protocol more susceptible to centralization risks
No timelock exists or no information documented, which mean a malicious actor could approve upgrades without any delay
Low voting power concentration reduces risk

Protocol Design

No death spiral concerns
This protocol is susceptible to risks related to staking a token to secure a network, such as slashing events

Things to know about Stader-MaticX

How Stader (MaticX) works

Stader allows users to earn staking rewards without locking assets or maintaining staking infrastructure. Users deposit their MATIC into Stader's smart contracts and receive MATICX in return which represents the value of the user's staked MATIC along with any staking rewards accrued or penalties inflicted on validators. Users can withdraw or redeem their MATICX back for their original MATIC at any time. Currently, all staking on Polygon occurs on the Ethereum mainnet.

How Stader (MaticX) makes money

Stader generates revenue by charging a 10% fee on the staking rewards earned by depositors. This fee is used for upgrading the protocol's staking infrastructure to improve the quality of products for users.

How you make money on Stader (MaticX)

Passive MATIC holders can generate additional yield by participating in the PoS validation mechanism to earn block rewards. The unlocked liquidity with MATICX can also be used on a number of popular DeFi protocols to generate additional yield.
