Xverse now supports BTC staking via BOB, a Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) network, through a seamless and secure experience with Xverse Earn.
With this integration, you can stake your Bitcoin directly from your Xverse wallet and receive Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) on your connected EVM wallet**,** which represent your staked BTC and can be used within the BOB DeFi ecosystem. This helps ****putting your BTC to work while maintaining flexibility and access to rewards.

What You’ll Need
- BTC available in your Xverse wallet
- EVM wallet (e.g, MetaMask) connected to BOB network.
Step-by-Step Guide to Stake BTC on BOB
Step 1: Connect Your Wallets to BTC Staking App
- Visit Xverse Earn – BTC Staking
- Connect your Xverse Wallet: The staking app will access your Bitcoin payment address to initiate the staking transaction.
- Connect your EVM wallet: This will provide your BOB address, where your staked BTC (LST tokens) will be delivered.
Ensure your wallet supports the BOB network. See: How to Add BOB Network to MetaMask
Step 2: Select a BTC Staking Strategy
On the BTC staking dashboard, view available staking strategies supported on BOB. Choose the one (Solv, Bedrock, Pell,…) that suits your preferences. Each strategy offers different staking mechanics and LSTs.
Avalon Access Restriction
Avalon-related strategies are not available to users in the United States, Hong Kong, or Singapore due to regulatory restrictions.
While you can stake or lend via Xverse Earn, unstaking or withdrawing must be done through Avalon’s official dApp, which is geo-blocked in these regions. If you’re located in one of these regions, we recommend choosing strategies powered by protocols that are supported in your jurisdiction (such as Sovryn or LayerBank) to ensure uninterrupted access to manage and withdraw your staked assets
Step 3: Set Staking Amount and Network Fee
Input the amount of BTC you wish to stake. Choose your preferred network fee for the Bitcoin transaction.
Step 4: Review and Confirm Transaction
Confirm your staking intent and sign the BTC transaction with your Xverse wallet. Remember to verify the EVM address that will receive the LST tokens on BOB and the full quote including:
- BTC amount to be staked
- Chosen staking protocol
- Network and protocol fees
Step 5: Track Your Staking Orders
In Deposit History, you can view your staking order history and monitor the status of each BTC staking transaction
