In this latest release of D’CENT Wallet, we are excited to announce the Stacks (STX) Stacking delegation service is now accessible from your mobile devices available for both Android and iOS.

What is Stacking?

Stacking is an innovative mechanism that rewards STX token holders for participating in the consensus process of the Stacks blockchain, called PoX (Proof of Transfer). Stacks holders who participate in stacking are called Stackers. Whenever a new block is mined on the Stacks blockchain, the protocol rewards the stacker with Bitcoin (BTC) committed by the miner in return for contributing value to the network.

In order for a user to directly stack, it requires a fairly large amount of Stacks (STX), but with pools, users with a small amount of Stacks can easily participate and receive rewards based on how many Stacks they’ve locked.

Planbetter has recently launched the brand new stacking app, the dashboard platform offers the ability to track and manage all stacking activities in the Planbetter pool. One of the very convenient features about Planbetter is that it allows users to download detailed transaction history for Tax Report.

Friedger is one of the non-custodial pooling options within the Stacks community that pays in Stacks (STX) as a reward. There is no fee in the Friedger pool and the minimum amount that can be delegated is 40 STX.

Friedger Pool will start locking user’s STX around 1000 blocks before the start of the next cycle. Friedger Pool will be closed around 50 blocks before the start and users can join the pool until 200 blocks before the start. For the users who’ve chosen indefinite duration as the delegation period, the Friedger Pool will automatically re-stack user’s STXs for the next cycles.
