Depositing & Switching for stSTX

Depositing for stSTX

Starting with stSTX is easy.

You can broadcast a transaction using your favourite Stacks wallet—Leather, Xverse, OKX, Fordefi, Orange, or Asigna.

After connecting your wallet via the StackingDAO UI, you’ll be able to choose between:

• Liquid Staking with STX yield

• Liquid Staking with BTC yield

• Native Staking

To mint stSTX, select the "Liquid Staking with STX yield" option. Enter the amount of STX you wish to deposit, then click "Stack". Make sure the amount entered is valid and within your STX wallet balance.

Once an amount is entered, you'll see details such as:

• The current conversion rate

• Estimated annual yield

• Points earned via the rewards program

Keep in mind that STX rewards are automatically sent to the contract backing stSTX. This means: stSTX = STX deposited + STX rewards.

Thanks to the Nakamoto upgrade, your transaction should be confirmed within a few seconds, and the corresponding amount of stSTX will appear in your wallet.

Example assuming STX/stSTX ratio starts at 0.94. The ratio changes as Staked STX grows respect to stSTX.

Stake All With One-Click

You can also stake all your available STX at once. In the “Active Positions” section, locate your STX balance and click "Stake All"—a quick way to deposit everything for stSTX in one transaction.
