<aside> ❓ stkATOM is the liquid staked representative of ATOM issued by pSTAKE on the Persistence Core-1 chain

</aside>

âŽī¸ Background

pSTAKE was early to liquid staking in Cosmos, with stkATOM(ERC-20) being the first implementation of a liquid-staked representative of ATOM. Back in 2021, pSTAKE decided to issue these tokens on the Ethereum chain due to:

  1. The absence of IBC
  2. No DEXs like Osmosis or Dexter to bootstrap liquidity for staked ATOM
  3. The lack of overall DeFi in the Cosmos Ecosystem

<aside> 📌 stkATOM(ERC-20) achieved $39M+ in TVU (Total Value Unlocked) with 6,406 ATOM stakers & $33M liquidity on the SushiSwap pool

</aside>

pSTAKE will aim to surpass these numbers in Cosmos with deep stkATOM liquidity & utility in the Interchain.

âš›ī¸ Entering the Cosmos

Innovating UX for the Interchain

In the future, we will explore how we can further improve UX for this. Imagine adding liquidity to the stkATOM/ATOM pool on Osmosis right from the pSTAKE app by leveraging ICA & ICQ
