# How to stake & unstake BTC?

## ⬇️ How to stake BTC?

Steps:

1\. Connect your wallet to [app.endur.fi.](https://app.endur.fi/)

2\. Choose BTC and Go to the “Stake” tab.

3\. Choose the BTC variant you want to stake — (WBTC, tBTC, LBTC, SolvBTC).

4\. Enter the amount you’d like to stake.

5\. Approve the transaction in your wallet.

6\. Confirm the transaction.

Note: You’ll receive the corresponding xToken (e.g., xWBTC, xtBTC, xsBTC, xLBTC) representing your staked BTC variant.

### ⭐️ How rewards work?

• The protocol earns rewards in STRK by default.&#x20;

• These rewards are automatically swapped into the staked BTC asset, increasing your holdings over time.

• This means the value of your xToken (xWBTC, xtBTC, xsBTC, xLBTC) grows relative to the underlying BTC variant. your rewards auto-compound without any extra steps.

### 🔎 How to check your staked balance?

After you stake your BTC variant (xWBTC, xtBTC, xsBTC, xLBTC):\
You can always view your staked balance directly on the Stake page.

• Look at the green “Available stake” section, it will display how much xWBTC, xtBTC, xsBTC, xLBTC you hold.

• This figure shows your staked BTC tokens (liquid staking tokens). While the number of tokens you hold stays the same, each token's value increases over time relative to the underlying BTC as staking rewards are automatically compounded into the token's price. This means your total position value grows even though your token count remains unchanged.

### ⬆️ How to unstake BTC variants (xWBTC, xtBTC, xsBTC, xLBTC)?

Steps:

1\. Connect your wallet to Endur.Fi.

2\. Go to the “Unstake” section and select the token you want to unstake.

3\. Enter the amount of xToken (xWBTC, xtBTC, xsBTC, xLBTC) you want to unstake.

4\. Choose your unstaking option:

* **Option 1 – Endur Unstake (7-Day Waiting Period)**\
  Unstake directly through the protocol.

  • Your request goes into the unstaking queue and will be released after 7 days.\
  • Track the status anytime in the Withdraw Log.\
  • After the waiting period ends, your original asset (BTC variant) is automatically sent to your wallet.
* **Option 2 – DEX Swap (Recommended – Instant)**\
  Instantly swap your xToken back to the underlying asset (BTC variant) using the integrated DEX route.

  • You receive your assets immediately.\
  • We display all available exchanges and live market rates so you always see the best price.\

**Tip:**

• If you don’t mind waiting, the Endur option is free of slippage.

• If you want immediate liquidity, use the DEX option for a quick exit. with live rates shown inside the app so you can pick the best swap.

### ⏪ What is the withdraw log?

The Withdraw Log is where you can track the status of any pending unstake requests made through Endur.

When you use the Endur Unstake option (7-day waiting period):

• Your request is added to the Withdraw Log automatically.

• Each entry shows:\
◦ The log ID\
◦ The asset (xWBTC, xtBTC, xsBTC, xLBTC)\
◦ The amount you’re unstaking\
◦ The status (Pending / Completed)\
◦ The estimated completion date (when the 7-8 days end)

Once the waiting period finishes:\
• The underlying asset (BTC variant) is automatically sent to your wallet.\
• The entry in the log changes to Completed for your reference.

If you use the DEX (instant) option instead:\
• The transaction settles immediately, so nothing appears in the Withdraw Log (because there’s no waiting period).
