Your Bitcoin can do more than sit idle. Platforms like exSat let you stake BTC, earning rewards while strengthening blockchain security.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to get started with Bitcoin staking on exSat. Let’s dive in!
What is exSat?
exSat is a Bitcoin scaling solution, and the launch of its native bridge provides Bitcoin with staking opportunities. The network allows BTC holders to stake their assets securely and get rewards in XSAT while maintaining the decentralization and robustness of the Bitcoin network.
By converting BTC into XBTC within the exSat ecosystem, users can participate in staking without compromising their Bitcoin holdings.
Why Stake Bitcoin?
Bitcoin staking is an opportunity to make your BTC work for you. While Bitcoin traditionally lacks native staking capabilities, exSat introduces an innovative way to generate rewards by delegating wrapped BTC to trusted validators.
Key benefits include:
- Get passive rewards: Stake your BTC and receive rewards in XSAT without active trading.
- Enhancing network security: Support decentralized operations by participating in staking.
