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.

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.

BBTC node staking and the stBBTC token are deprecated.

In V3, BTC/BBTC node staking is no longer offered, and there is no stBBTC. Use stBB for BB liquid staking, and use the Farm module for rewards on V3 BB-tokens.
