Loved by the Stacks community
First liquid staking on Stacks. WHY it tingles my senses:
• BTCfi narrative with Stacks as BTC L2
• Liquid staking airdrop à la $JITO
• 100 STX+ on StackingDAO during the 1st cycle will qualify for the Genesis NFT drop
• Points coming
It looks like @StackingDao crossed $20M in TVL fairly quickly after launch.
STX has a native BTC yield from consensus making it a unique asset. The pull of earning BTC means a large amount of STX gets locked. Now it can be liquid with liquid staking.
I used it and loved the UX.
The Stacks ecosystem TVL has been surging in the last few months
The launch of @StackingDao and @Bitflow_Finance are the latest contributors to this growth
With many other DeFi protocols to go live soon, the ecosystem is poised to thrive

FAQs
Stacking DAO is the STX Stacking infrastructure powerhouse for the most prominent Bitcoin L2. The protocol currently offers 3 STX Stacking services:
- stSTX: A liquid representation of stacked STX that accrues in value in STX as Stacking rewards are auto-compounded. It can also be used across DeFi to earn additional yield and points.
- stSTXbtc: A second liquid stacking token backed 1-to-1 with STX, and holders receive sBTC streamed directly to their wallet. stSTXbtc can also be used across Stacks dApps.
- Native Stacking: Delegate STX and earn BTC rewards with zero fees while STX are locked during the two-week Stacking cycles.
The Stacking process yields BTC rewards, but they are processed in different ways based on the Stacking DAO service.
- stSTX: BTC rewards are converted to STX, which are automatically placed in the smart contracts that back stSTX. A user's stSTX balance stays the same, but when redeeming, they get their deposited STX plus stacking rewards.
- stSTXbtc: BTC rewards are converted to sBTC and directly streamed to stSTXbtc wallet holders
- Native Stacking: BTC Rewards are deposited on the user's pre-defined Bitcoin wallet
For liquid stacking tokens (LSTs) such as stSTX and stSTXbtc, you can swap your LSTs to STX anytime through Bitflow for instant liquidity. Otherwise, you can get your STX back via Stacking DAO, but it will take up to 14 days to withdraw (length of 1 Stacking cycle).
By initiating the withdrawal process on Stacking DAO, users will burn their LSTs and receive a temporary NFT that represents their withdrawal amount. Once the Stacking cycle is over, users can use the NFT to claim and withdraw their STX.
For the native stacking, it's enough to perform a "stop stacking" transaction. The STX will unlock at the end of the cycle you are currently stacked, along with your cycle rewards.
Read the docs for further information on the withdrawal process.
STX is delegated to the best enterprise-grade Validators/Signers in Web3, with a track record of optimal node uptime and billions in assets under management.
These Signers are responsible for running nodes while STX tokens are safely controlled by Stacking DAO smart contracts.
The stacked STX are evenly distributed among all Signers, helping to secure the Stacks network by bootstrapping a distributed set of Signers.
stSTX can be used across the Stacks DeFi ecosystem to earn additional yield and points. New integrations are constantly being added and can be viewed on the Stacking DAO site.
