Starknet posted on social media that BTC staking will be launched on the main network on September 30. This upgrade will allow bitcoin holders to pledge on Starknet to help ensure cyber security and receive rewards. The launch parameters are as follows:
BTC staking weight is set to 0.25 (BTC = 25% consensus weight, STRK accounts for the remaining 75%)
WBTC, LBTC, tBTC and SolvBTC are supported at launch.
Other BTC packaging assets can be added through governance. In addition, the release period will be shortened from 21 days to 7 days, allowing pledgers and principals to operate faster and more flexibly. To enable this upgrade, the staking contract will be suspended for a few hours on September 15th at approximately 10:00 am (GMT + 3) to integrate the BTC staking mechanism into Starknet.
Once the upgrade is complete, validators and builders can deploy the BTC delegate pool and start integrating with the protocol, with rewards to be distributed starting on September 30.
