Liquid Staking With Stader Labs on BNB Chain

Since its launch on BNB Chain on Aug. 5, the liquid staking solution from Stader Labs has seen tremendous growth, including a surge in the amount of staked BNB, partnerships with seven decentralized finance protocols, integrations with several wallets, and much more.

Founded in 2021, Stader Labs is a non-custodial smart contract-based staking platform that is currently deployed on BNB Chain, Fantom, Hedera, Near, Polygon and Terra 2.0.

Since the BNB Chain launch, more than 1,300 users have staked $BNB via Stader. Almost immediately upon launch, Stader’s Total Value Locked (TVL) rocketed to $3 million, and it has risen steadily since then.

According to data from Dune Analytics, the project’s TVL on BNB Chain stood at $12.1 million as of publication. Further, 39,434 $BNB (valued at $10.7 million) were staked with Stader.

Project Partnerships

To ensure its continued success, within six weeks of its deployment on BNB Chain, Stader has partnered with seven Decentralized Finance (DeFi) projects native to BNB Chain. The various partnerships have one thing in common - to provide users with access to more DeFi-based opportunities where they earn additional yields on top of their staking APYs.

Stader’s BNB Chain partners include Wombat Exchange, Ellipsis Finance, Apeswap, iZUMi Finance, Beefy Finance, OpenLeverage and DeltaTheta.

Wallet Integrations

Stader has integrated with a variety of wallets since its launch on BNB Chain to ensure that a wide range of users have access to its service offerings. That includes MetaMask, Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet (via WalletConnect), Safepal Wallet, Coin98, Coinbase Wallet, and Ledger (via WalletConnect).

As stated above, Stader Labs is currently deployed on six different chains, with BNB Chain being the most recent.

In the latest edition of its fortnightly update, published on Sept. 18, Stader confirmed that its total TVL across all chains is $100 million. Although its the newest deployment, Stader’s TVL on BNB Chain alone was $11.2 million, putting it above Near ($9.4 million), Terra ($9.1 million), and Fantom ($9.1 million).

Further, save for its pools on Hedera, Stader’s BNBx/BNB pools on platforms such as OpenLeverage, DeltaTheta, and Wombat Exchange offer the highest yields among all chains, per the report.
