<a href="https://ike.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Ike</a> is proud to announce the official launch of its Liquid Staking Token (LST), sA0, on Aleph Zero. This milestone provides the <a href="https://alephzero.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Aleph Zero</a> community with a new way to engage with the network by offering staking flexibility without compromising on rewards.
What Is sA0?
sA0 is Ike’s native Liquid Staking Token, designed to enhance the staking experience on Aleph Zero. With sA0, users can stake their AZERO tokens to support network security and earn rewards, all while keeping their assets liquid. This means they can use sA0 tokens across Aleph Zero’s ecosystem, unlocking new opportunities for participation and growth. Meaning, sA0 empowers users to “stake and use” at the same time.&nbsp;

<ul>
 <li>Liquidity Meets Rewards: Users receive sA0 tokens in exchange for their staked AZERO, enabling them to stay liquid while continuing to earn rewards.</li>
 <li>Smooth Integration: sA0 seamlessly integrates with Aleph Zero’s growing DeFi ecosystem, creating more utility and value for stakers.</li>
 <li>Stronger Network Security: By encouraging greater participation in staking, sA0 supports the overall security and resilience of the Aleph Zero network.</li>
</ul>
Building Toward Progressive Decentralization
The launch of sA0 is a significant step in Ike’s roadmap toward progressive decentralization. Ensuring most of the slots are open for permissionless entry when governance live, Ike launched with <a href="https://ike.xyz/blog/shaping-the-future-of-delegation-with-ike-gathering-community-insight" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">7 initial validators</a> including <a href="https://www.telekom.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Deutsche Telekom</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.stc.com.bh/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">STC Bahrain</a>.&nbsp;As part of this journey, Ike will soon introduce community-driven governance features, including permissionless validator registration, initially scaling to have 30 slots with a fully transparent on-chain bonding process. This will enable a dynamic and competitive validator ecosystem, with the community playing a central role in decision-making.
Stephen Novenstern, Founder at Ike, commented:
<blockquote>
 “The mainnet launch of sA0 marks an exciting moment for both Ike and the Aleph Zero community. sA0 offers a powerful tool for staking while maintaining liquidity, and it’s just the beginning of our commitment to building a decentralized, community-driven ecosystem.&nbsp;
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
 From the inception of the Ike Project, we wanted to build a Liquid Staking Protocol that wouldn’t just unlock staked liquidity; we wanted to put the Ike DAO in control of what percentage each Validator gets, and for it to be permissionless to get on the [Validator Registry] list.”
</blockquote>
What’s Next?
With sA0 now live, Ike invites the Aleph Zero community to explore the benefits of liquid staking. In the coming months, Ike will focus on expanding the utility of sA0 within the ecosystem and rolling out governance features that further empower the community to shape its future.
