Can I Change My Rewards Address When Stacking with Xverse?

If you need to change your rewards address while stacking with Xverse, it is possible, but there are a few important things to consider. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to do it and what you need to know.

How to Change Your Rewards Address

To change your rewards address, first unstack your tokens by selecting Stop Stacking in the Stacking Dashboard (see detailed guide here).

Your STX tokens will be unlocked 100 blocks after the current cycle ends. Once unlocked, you can re-delegate to the Xverse Pool with a new rewards address.

Key Points to Keep in Mind

Rewards Address Remains Unchanged Throughout the Current Cycle

Once you start stacking, the rewards address becomes locked for the duration of that cycle. You cannot change it until the cycle is completed.

Changing Your Rewards Address Can Result in Missing a Cycle

When you stop stacking to change your rewards address, your STX tokens will be unlocked at the end of the cycle. This means you will miss one cycle of stacking before being able to re-delegate. As a result, you won’t earn rewards for that missed cycle.
