What is StakeStone (STO)?

StakeStone is a decentralized, omni-chain liquid staking protocol designed to unify liquidity across DeFi. Its flagship asset, STONE, is a yield-bearing token collaterally backed by a diversified basket of LSTs like wstETH and rETH. The native STO token powers the entire ecosystem, boasting a strict maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. Built to function as a crypto-native neobank, it strips away intermediaries to enable trustless, on-chain operations.

How does the veSTO governance system work?

You can't just hold STO to vote. To participate in governance, you must voluntarily lock your tokens into smart contracts to mint veSTO (voting-escrowed STO). This grants you the power to adjust network fee rates, direct STO emissions to specific LiquidityPad vaults, and earn a proportional share of protocol bribes. It's worth noting there is a strict 30-day vesting cooldown to convert veSTO back into freely tradable STO.

Who backed the project's early funding rounds?

StakeStone secured $33.00 million in total funding. The largest chunk came from a $22.00 million round in November 2024 led by Polychain Capital. Later, BingX Labs injected a strict $10.00 million round in February 2025. You might wonder about retail access; that was handled via a $1.00 million IDO on PancakeSwap right before launch. Other heavy-hitting backers include YZi Labs, OKX Ventures, CoinSummer, and Animoca Brands.

Where can you trade the STO coin today?

Following its launch on April 3, 2025, STO quickly secured listings across major centralized and decentralized venues. Spot traders will find deep liquidity on Binance, MEXC, Bitget, HTX, and KuCoin. Here is the deal for fiat users: Binance offers an active STO/TRY pair, while CEX.IO supports STO/USD. If you are looking for perpetual futures, platforms like Binance, Bybit, and Bitunix actively host STO derivative contracts.

Did the community receive an airdrop?

Yes, retail participants secured a massive 10.43% of the total supply immediately at TGE. This distribution was heavily driven by the "Omnichain Carnival," an aggressive points-farming campaign launched in March 2024 where users minted and locked STONE. Additionally, a dedicated Binance HODLer airdrop distributed exactly 15,000,000 STO—representing 1.50% of the max supply—to users who locked native BNB shortly before the token's debut.

What is the StakeStone STO token unlock schedule?

Absolutely. While the Foundation and Community allocations have been unlocking linearly since launch without a cliff, other major cohorts are just hitting their stride. The Core Team (15.00%), Investors (21.50%), and Ecosystem Treasury (4.00%) were all governed by a strict one-year cliff. Since the token launched on April 3, 2025, these massive allocations are set to begin their linear distributions exactly one year later, introducing significant new on-chain supply.

How do StakeStone tokenomics impact supply inflation?

It is a mix of both. The multi-year vesting schedule introduces mathematically predictable inflationary pressure as new tokens hit the market. To counteract this, StakeStone employs an automated Swap & Burn mechanism. When external developers use STO to pay for LiquidityPad governance bribes, smart contracts systematically burn a predefined percentage of those tokens. This permanently removes them from the 1,000,000,000 maximum supply, helping stabilize the asset.
