gm, quick alpha... bitcoin staking on starknet (snip-31) is targeted for q3, and the community vote opens in 3 days.
you’ll be able to delegate supported BTC wrappers ( $WBTC, $LBTC, $TBTC, $SOLVBTC, PUMPBTC) to validators and earn $STRK rewards...without lowering the current STRK apr.
BTC will count for ~20–25% of staking power, STRK stays in control of consensus
rewards are in STRK, rewards come from small extra inflation
works fully on starknet, composable with defi and lsts
security features like entry delays + emergency delisting for compromised wrappers
to vote: wrap your STRK into vSTRK and delegate/self-delegate in the governance hub (keeps STRK liquid), or stake STRK directly (21-day unlock to unstake).
this gives $BTC holders a new low-risk yield, boosts starknet security with more capital, and keeps STRK as the core asset.
Bitcoin Staking on Starknet, Community Vote opens in 3 days 🗳️
A major proposal is on the table: SNIP-31 introduces a new BTC staking mechanism on Starknet.
If passed, it will allow BTC holders to lock their tokenized BTC (WBTC, LBTC, tBTC, SolvBTC) directly on Starknet and earn STRK rewards, without affecting the current STRK APR.
This upgrade includes:
- A BTC staking weight (alpha) set at 0.25, giving BTC holders up to 25% influence in consensus power.
- A curated list of BTC wrappers eligible for staking, governed through community votes and Monetary Committee approvals.
- A clear separation of STRK and BTC reward dynamics.
This is a critical moment for the network: it defines how Bitcoin integrates into Starknet’s staking and governance framework.
As with previous SNIPs, your vote matters.
To participate, make sure to:
- Wrap your STRK into vSTRK and delegate or self-delegate your voting power on the Governance Hub (this allows you to keep your STRK liquid)
- Or stake your STRK directly (21-day unlock applies if you want to unstake).
If you don’t complete one of these before the vote opens, you won’t be able to vote.
