Stride is a fairly unique unit in the Interchain. Hypercompetent in offering liquid staking services to the broader Cosmos, it reinfoces the ecosystem by unulocking vast amounts of dormant assets, making them more capital efficient and causing an enourmous influx of liquidity into Cosmos DeFi. Flexible and capable of strengthening its ties to the Cosmos Hub, Stride was among the first chains to integrate Interchain Security, inheriting the Hub's vast security and entering an economic alliance known as as the ATOM Economic Zone (AEZ).
