BTCWhat is Bitcoin Staking
Bitcoin Staking offers a groundbreaking way to earn yield on idle BTC by locking it into protocols designed to utilize Bitcoin as stake. These protocols secure additional networks, distributing rewards to stakers through transaction fees or newly minted third-party tokens.
Although Bitcoin operates as a Proof-of-Work (PoW) network, innovative protocols—supported by Stakin’s robust and reliable infrastructure—bridge the gap between Bitcoin's limited utility as a store of value and its potential as a productive financial asset. This enables BTC holders to generate passive yield without resorting to potentially riskier solutions such as lending or trading.
Unlike traditional Proof-of-Stake (PoS), the yield here is generated through mechanisms resembling Restaking (e.g., EigenLayer, Symbiotic, Babylon). By participating in the security of other networks, BTC holders can earn rewards in the form of newly minted tokens from secured chains or transaction fees generated by these networks.
