Hold and temporarily lock STX, Stacks’ native currency, and support the network’s security & consensus. As a reward, you’ll earn BTC.
*Per last full cycle
When you Stack, you’ll earn bitcoin that miners transfer as part of Proof of Transfer (PoX), Stacks’ unique consensus mechanism.
Stacking providers make it easy for you to participate in a way that fits your needs.
As a Stacker, you work together with Signers and participate in the Stacks protocol by validating and signing blocks.
There are multiple ways to stack and earn bitcoin: on an exchange, in a non-custodial pool, or by yourself. Which way is right for you, depends on how experienced with crypto you are and how many STX you have available.
These services will pool your Stacks with others and pay your rewards out at the end of each cycle. You can access these pools directly, and some are additionally available via Lockstacks.com.
New to crypto? These custodial exchanges will make Stacking easy for you. They’ll hold your STX for you and pool it together with other stackers.
Leverage your Stacked STX throughout the ecosystem while continuing to earn Stacking rewards.
Large Stacks holders may consider custody offerings from leaders in the digital asset management space.
If you have enough Stacks to meet the protocol minimum (generally above 100,000 STX), you can enter Stacking without joining a pool.
