Stride: Liquid Staking Protocol for DeFi on Cosmos - Maximize Your Yields

Get ready to discover the exciting world of liquid staking and DeFi yields with Summer Collins, the Community Manager of Stride. In this interview, she takes us through the ins and outs of Stride, a liquid staking protocol on the Cosmos ecosystem, and how the team is revolutionizing the staking experience for its Users.

Can you tell us about your Web3 project, Stride?

Stride is a liquid staking protocol that enables the Users to liquid-stake their assets on any Cosmos chain, allowing them to earn both staking and DeFi yields across the Cosmos IBC ecosystem. Our mission is to deliver the best and safest liquid staking experience to Users in the Cosmos ecosystem.

What is your role in the project?

As the Community Manager, I oversee our social media servers, particularly our Discord server with over 18K members. I act as the first point of contact between Users, community helpers, and the rest of the team.

My primary goal is to ensure that our community’s needs are heard and addressed thoughtfully and with intention. I work with a team of moderators and community stars to develop systems that allow us to provide comprehensive support, positive engagement, and clear communication to all Cosmonauts joining the community.

Why do you like using Zealy for your project?

Zealy is a new platform for us, and we are still in the testing phase of developing our Questboard. However, we believe it will provide the basis for consistent, interesting, and useful engagement. Creating organized Quests that prompt Users to create content, engage on social media, participate in server discussions, and more establishes a tangible pathway for Stride Users to level up and feel that their contributions are valuable.

What is your Quest strategy like?

Our Quest drafts are currently organized into five categories: social media activity, content creation, technical app tasks, community participation, and educational resources.

What rewards do you offer your community?

We offer our community prizes in STRD for participating in contests and quizzes on our server. We plan to use the leaderboard on Zealy to determine reward allocations in the future.

Why is your community the best?

The Stride community is the best because we are enthusiastic, passionate, and forward-thinking. Zealy helps us apply these qualities and spread the word about Stride far and wide.

What trends are you seeing in Web3, and what are your predictions for what’s coming up next?

I am excited about advancements in transparency, interoperability, and intuitive, accessible User experiences.

Anything else you’d like to tell the world?

The Stride community is where you want to be! Beyond being the best liquid staking protocol in the Cosmos ecosystem, we have a community that is innovative, inclusive, and forward-thinking. I'm thrilled about what the year ahead has in store for Stride and Cosmo DeFi, and I hope you join us for the journey!

Thanks for sitting with us today, Summer! Where can our readers find your project?

You can find us on Twitter and Zealy.
