Starknet: BTC staking feature will be launched on the mainnet on September 30

ChainCatcher news, Starknet announced on the X platform that the BTC staking feature will go live on the mainnet on September 30. This upgrade will allow Bitcoin holders to stake on Starknet, helping to secure the network and earn rewards.

In addition, the unbonding period will be shortened from 21 days to 7 days, providing stakers and delegators with a quicker and more flexible operational experience. To complete this upgrade, staking contracts will be paused for a few hours around 10:00 AM (GMT+3) on September 15 to integrate the Bitcoin staking feature into the Starknet staking mechanism. After the upgrade is completed, validators and developers will be able to deploy Bitcoin delegation pools and start integrating with the protocol, with rewards beginning to be distributed on September 30.
