Stride, a liquid staking protocol based on Cosmos, is set to move from its current STRD token model to Cosmos' interchain security (ICS) system powered by ATOM tokens. The transition is expected to take place on Wednesday between 17:00 and 21:30 UTC at block height 4616678. This move will increase Stride's economic security from roughly $25 million to $2.3 billion, making the protocol more resilient to hacks. Following the transition, Stride will be secured by staked ATOM instead of STRD tokens, and Cosmos' validator set will take over block production from the existing Stride validator set. Additionally, stakers have decided to reduce STRD distributed as staking rewards by 50%, and 15% of the STRD staking rewards will be shared with Cosmos Hub.
