Starknet includes staking $BTC
Starting September 30, staking $BTC will be available on the Starknet mainnet: holders of WBTC, LBTC, tBTC, and SolvBTC will be able to stake assets, enhancing the security of the network and earning income.
The weight of BTC in the consensus will be 25%, with the remaining 75% for STRK. The unstaking period has been reduced from 21 to 7 days.
⚠️ On September 15, staking contracts will be temporarily suspended for integration. New BTC wrappers will be added through governance.
This is a strong trigger for the growth of TVL in Starknet and for the formation of a 'BTC-income' class on L2. If the inflow and yield metrics stabilize, the project will gain a sustainable channel for institutional BTC.
