Algorithm, a Stacks OG and top content creator, shares his thoughts on what makes Stacking DAO’s native option so compelling.

Did you know that @StackingDao's native stacking pool is the only one with a 0% fee?

If you're stacking for the long term, minimizing yield loss is key, and 0% fees make a difference.

On top of that, users still accrue points with the native stacking option. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/pmktKK9vJY
