Stacking DAO Overview
Stacking DAO is expanding and evolving into an STX Stacking infrastructure powerhouse for the most prominent Bitcoin Layer 2.
Initially launched as a Liquid Stacking protocol, it rapidly became the largest Stacks DeFi platform, playing a key role in bootstrapping the ecosystem liquidity. Today, it’s driving Stacks forward as the hub for STX Stacking and DeFi innovation.
Stacking DAO goal is to empower the entire Stacks ecosystem, from users to builders, by developing the most comprehensive suite of services and features for all aspects of stacking and beyond.
The team has been developing new BTC yield products through STX stacking and is currently researching MEV and restaking solutions.

Custodial delegated stacking pools. Examples are OKX, Coinbase Custody, Bitgo and Copper. OKX and Coinbase Custody are live today. Custodial stacking pools take full custody of STX and offer an institutional UX. These pools also don’t offer a tokenised representation of stacked STX
Community delegated stacking pools. Examples are Stacking DAO native Stacking pool, Xverse pool, and Friedger pool. These pools allow users to stack their STX and earn BTC or STX rewards. These pools don’t offer a tokenised representation of stacked STX.
