Stacks PoX-5 Upgrade Activates Bitcoin Staking and Introduces Protocol Bond Model

Stacks is set to activate its PoX-5 hard fork this week, introducing the consensus infrastructure needed to support Bitcoin staking on the network.

The upgrade will introduce Bitcoin Bonds, which allow users to lock BTC on the Bitcoin network and pair it with STX on Stacks to earn BTC-denominated yield while retaining control of their Bitcoin keys.

Existing STX stakers must restake after PoX-5 activates to continue earning rewards. Users who do not currently stake will not need to take any action, but those who are already staking must lock their coins before the new cycle starts or they may miss out on rewards.
