[Deprecated] Liquid Staking (stBB)
Liquid Staking allows you to delegate BB to validators and receive stBB, a liquid staking derivative (LSD) that represents your delegated position. stBB is transferable and may be used in supported applications. Unstaking requires an unbonding period of 7 days before BB becomes withdrawable.
A staking guide can be found here:
How to Stake/Unstake BB (Delegation)Mechanics
Stake → Mint: You delegate BB via the staking contract; stBB is minted to your address.
Unstake → Burn: You initiate unstake; stBB is burned and an unbonding timer (7 days) begins. After unbonding, BB is claimable.
Validator commission / protocol fees: Displayed in the staking UI at action time
Risks
Slashing: Delegated stake can be slashed if validators misbehave or underperform.
Unbonding delay: Withdrawals are not instant; BB is claimable only after the 7-day unbonding completes.
Market risk: stBB may trade at a discount/premium to BB in secondary markets.
Operational/contract risk: Validator operations and smart contracts can fail despite audits and controls.
