Cosmos IBC Staking Derivative Bridges
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how we build secure, scalable bridges for liquid staking tokens across the Cosmos ecosystem.
An IBC Staking Derivative Bridge enables the transfer of liquid staking tokens (LSTs) like stATOM or stOSMO across different Cosmos zones via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. You need one to unlock liquidity for your staked assets, allowing users to participate in DeFi on other chains while still earning staking rewards, thereby increasing capital efficiency and user engagement for your protocol.
