Liquid staking module specifications

Our milkINIT implementation is based on the work that the Stride team has put together inside their . All we have done is simply forking their code and updating it to be compatible with , the Layer 1 chain on top of which our optimistic rollup (MilkyWay) runs.
In this page you can find a list of messages and commands that can be used in order to liquid stake some INIT tokens and run some useful operations with the minted milkINIT tokens.
Before liquid staking your tokens, you need to transfer the INIT tokens you want to liquid stake from the Inita chain to the MilkyWay chain. To do this, you can use the module present inside both Initia and MilkyWay chain.
To transfer some amount of INIT tokens from Initia to MilkyWay, you can use the following message:
Please note that the amount of tokens to be transferred is represented in uinit. This means that if you want to transfer 1 INIT token, you need to specify 1000000 (1 INIT = 1,000,000 uinit).
Once you have transferred your tokens from the Initia chain to the MilkyWay chain using IBC, you can use the following message to liquid stake those tokens:
Please note that the amount of tokens to be liquid staked must be in terms of uinit. This means that if you want to liquid stake 1 INIT, you will have to specify 1000000 as the amount value.
You can create, sign and send a transaction with such message using the following command:
If you want to liquid unstake some milkINIT tokens and receive back the associated INIT tokens, you can use the following message:
Please note that the amount of tokens to be liquid unstaked needs to be provided as milkuinit. This means that if you want to redeem 1 milkINIT, you will need to specify 1000000 as the amount (1 milkINIT = 1,000,000 milkuinit).
To transfer the milkINIT tokens to your chain, you can use the following message:
Please note that the amount of tokens to be transferred is represented in milkuinit. This means that if you want to transfer 1 milkINIT token, you need to specify 1000000 (1 milkINIT = 1,000,000 milkuinit).
Make sure you understand the meaning of the memo field, and how it can be used to leverage the packet forwarding middleware properly.

To liquid stake your INIT tokens, you first have to transfer such tokens from the Initia chain to the MilkyWay chain where the StakeIBC module is present. To do this, you can reference , which highlights the message and command you can use.

Differently from the liquid staking operation, where the user receives the milkINIT tokens as soon as they liquid stake some INIT tokens, the liquid staking operation requires some time before the user can receive the unstaked INIT tokens back after unstaking their milkINIT tokens. This because since the underlying tokens are staked on the Initia chain, they will need to wait the unbonding period to be over before those tokens are automatically sent to them. You can view the unbonding time of each Initia chain .
If you want to transfer some milkINIT tokens from the MilkyWay chain to another Minitia, we suggest you doing so using the , and in particular by using the . Since all Minitias are connected to the Initia chain, you can take advantage of this by avoiding to setup a channel directly between the MilkyWay chain and your Minitia. Instead, using such middleware, the tokens will be routed to your chain passing by the Initia chain itself, decreasing the number of channels that need to be opened and maintained.
