Hodla: multi-chain staking & liquidity mover

Inspiration

Hodla was born out of a vision to simplify and unify the staking experience in the blockchain space. We recognized the challenges faced by both stakers and validators, including disjointed staking experiences, fragmented analytics, and the high bar to enter the world of staking. Our goal was to create a solution that bridges these gaps and empowers users and validators within the interchain ecosystem.

What it does

Hodla is a mobile-first dApp designed to streamline staking across multiple blockchain networks. It offers users a single platform to manage their staked assets, regardless of the network they're on. With Hodla, users can stake, unstake, and track their staking history with ease. As part of the hackathon we integrated Osmosis DEX to help our users move liquidity across chains. We perform the IBC transfer, swap and staking transaction with 1-click simplicity for the user. This will simplify the process of moving liquidity between chains by integrating IBC transfers and DEX functionality. Users will be able to shift assets seamlessly, making staking on various chains more accessible than ever.

How we built it

We built Hodla with a user-centric approach, leveraging our technical expertise and deep understanding of staking protocols. We wrap native staking transactions with our own UI. We use chain registry to perform transfers and swaps.

Challenges we ran into

Developing Hodla came with its fair share of challenges. Ensuring cross-chain compatibility, designing an intuitive user interface, and integrating complex staking protocols were some of the hurdles we faced. Additionally, educating users about the benefits of 1-click validator diversification required effective communication strategies.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have Hodla live on the mainnet, offering staking support for ATOM and SOL. Partnering with POSTHUMAN validator has been a significant achievement, and we have received positive feedback from early users. Our commitment to enhancing the staking experience and contributing to the decentralization of blockchain networks has been recognized by the blockchain community.

What we learned

Our journey with Hodla has been a tremendous learning experience. We gained insights into the complexities of staking across different chains, the importance of user-friendly interfaces, and the value of strategic partnerships. Additionally, our interactions with the blockchain community have deepened our understanding of user needs and preferences.

What's next for Hodla: multi-chain staking & liquidity mover

Looking ahead, our vision for Hodla is to expand its capabilities further. We plan to integrate staking for additional chains, including Injective, Band Protocol, Kava, and Archway. Our goal is to become the go-to platform for staking in the Cosmos ecosystem, lowering the barriers to entry for users interested in staking on different chains.

As we continue to innovate and collaborate within the blockchain space, we aim to enhance the staking experience, drive network decentralization, and contribute to the growth of the interchain ecosystem. Hodla is on a mission to empower stakers, validators, and the broader blockchain community, and we are excited about the journey ahead.
