🎈Stride SRB
Learn how Stride staking rewards are calculated. STRDSRB uses the staking share of the Stride mint, net of the Proof-of-Authority cut and community tax, divided by bonded STRD tokens.
STRDSRB is a benchmark representing the mean, annualized staking rate across all active Stride validators.
STRDSRB is calculated and published by Staking Rewards via the Stride Profile and Data API.
⚛️Cosmos Hub SRBTL;DR: STRD stakers are paid only the staking share of the hourly STRD mint, after 15% goes to the Proof-of-Authority (PoA) module and 5% to the community pool. Transaction fees and liquid staking (stToken) protocol fees are not paid to STRD stakers, so they are not part of STRDSRB. Validator-level rates factor in performance and commission.
STRD Staking Rewards Rate: STRDSRB
ep
Epoch Provisions
The number of STRD tokens minted per mint epoch (one hour).
Epochs per Year
8760 (24 hourly epochs × 365 days).
sp
Staking Proportion
The share of each mint epoch sent to the staking rewards pool (the mint's distribution_proportions.staking parameter, 16.04% at the time of writing). The remaining buckets go to community pool growth, the community pool security budget and the strategic reserve.
poa
PoA Fraction
The share of the staking rewards pool sent to the Proof-of-Authority module, 15%. It is fixed in the chain code and can only change through a chain upgrade.
ct
Community Tax
The percentage of the remaining staking rewards sent to the community pool (5% at the time of writing).
st
Staked Tokens
The total number of tokens bonded with active validators.
STRDSRB is non-compounded and counts claimed and unclaimed rewards alike.
Proof-of-Authority replaced Interchain Security. Stride previously paid 15% of its staking rewards to the Cosmos Hub under Interchain Security. Since the v33 upgrade (August 2026), that 15% goes to the on-chain PoA module instead, which pays the PoA validator set rather than delegators.
No transaction-fee term. Since the same upgrade, 100% of transaction fees go to the PoA module, so STRD delegators receive none.
Liquid staking protocol fees are not staker yield. Of the fees Stride earns on its liquid staking tokens, 85% is auctioned for STRD and the STRD is burned, 15% is returned to the host chain, and the stToken portion is paid to operator accounts. None of it reaches STRD stakers, so it is excluded from STRDSRB.
Slashing
STRDSRB does not factor in the possibility of slashing occurrences.
STRD Validator Staking Rewards Rate: STRDSRB(v)
Staking Rewards calculates the STRDSRB for each validator based on their individual performance and commission rate.
STRD Real Reward Rate: STRDSRB^R
The real reward rate calculates the STRDSRB adjusted for inflation in the network.
Inflation Rate Behavior
STRD is minted once per mint epoch, which lasts one hour (8760 epochs per year).
The epoch provisions are reduced by a factor of 0.5 every 8760 epochs, so they halve roughly once a year. The most recent halving took effect on 09/03/2026, when annual provisions fell from about 1.018M to about 509K STRD.
Each epoch's mint is split between staking rewards (16.04%), community pool growth (21.58%), the community pool security budget (13.59%) and the strategic reserve (48.79%). The inflation rate counts the full mint, while STRDSRB counts only the staking share.
The inflation rate is the annual provisions divided by the circulating supply. STRD bought back and burned with liquid staking protocol fees is not netted against it.
Other Stride metrics calculated by Staking Rewards
Delegated Tokens
The number of tokens delegated to validators.
Self Staked Tokens
The number of tokens staked by validators directly.
Staking Wallets
This metric refers to the number of unique delegator addresses with at least one delegation on-chain. An address delegating to several validators is counted once. It excludes considerations of any minimum delegation thresholds.
