Rewards on Stride are similar to native staking rewards. However, you can use your stTIA throughout DeFi.

Stride's 10% fee is only applied to rewards you earn. The tokens you stake (aka principal) and transactions are fee-free!

Unstaking on Stride requires an unbonding period before you can withdraw your tokens. If you don't want to wait, you can sell stTIA directly on an exchange like Osmosis. In rare cases, you may need to wait slightly longer for unbondings to process, learn more in our docs.
