Native Stacking with BTC Yield Basics

With StackingDAO, you can delegate your STX and earn BTC rewards—completely fee-free—while your tokens remain locked during the standard two-week Stacking cycles.

The native stacking pool comes with:

• No fees

• No smart contract risk

• A low minimum deposit

Where The Yield Comes From

The yield for the native pool (as well as for stSTX and stSTXbtc) is powered by Stacks’ Proof of Transfer (PoX) consensus mechanism. Here’s how it works:

Bitcoin miners bid BTC to win the right to produce new Stacks blocks. In return, they earn newly minted STX and transaction fees.

The BTC they bid is then distributed to STX holders who have locked their tokens for the cycle, as a reward for helping secure the network.

Key features:

• Zero fees – You keep 100% of the BTC earned

• BTC rewards – Airdropped every two weeks, to any Bitcoin address you choose

• Easy migration – See where your STX is currently delegated and when you can switch pools

• Real-time tracking – Monitor your current cycle, rewards earned so far, and upcoming payouts

The continuous yield feature doesn’t apply to Native Stacking, so rewards are only distributed at the end of the cycle.
