Starknet announced on its X platform that BTC staking will be available on the mainnet on September 30. The upgrade will allow Bitcoin holders to stake on Starknet, helping to maintain network security and earning rewards. In addition, the release period will be shortened from 21 days to 7 days, providing pledges and principals with a faster and more flexible experience. To complete this upgrade, the staking contract will be paused for several hours at around 10:00 am on September 15 (GMT+3) to integrate Bitcoin staking into the Starknet staking mechanism. Once the upgrade is complete, validators and developers will be able to deploy the Bitcoin delegate pool and begin integrating with the protocol. Rewards will be distributed starting September 30.
