Stake TST
Stake TST to earn rewards in Bitcoin from the swap fees the TeleSwap protocol collects.
How it works
You stake toward a specific chain. Every swap that is routed through that chain from the TeleSwap interface (app.teleswap.xyz) generates fees, and 50% of those fees are paid out to the chain's TST stakers — in BTC, pro-rata to your stake.
Example: stake toward Polygon, and you earn a share of the fees from every swap routed via Polygon in the TeleSwap app.
- Go to Stake TST in the app.
- Choose the chain you want to stake toward (this is where you earn BTC rewards from).
- Enter an amount and Stake.
- Claim your accrued BTC rewards — claiming is available anytime.
Lock-up & unstaking
- A lock-up period applies to your stake (currently ~1 month). This stops anyone from staking, grabbing a fee distribution, and immediately leaving.
- Rewards are always claimable during the lock-up — only the principal is locked.
- After the lock-up, you can unstake at any time.
