Leather helps you make an informed decision between Pooled Stacking and Liquid Stacking with a side-by-side experience.

In the Pooled Stacking section, you’ll see an interactive table that lists providers like Stacking DAO, Xverse, PlanBetter, and Fast Pool, along with yield, fees, and reward token details. These providers delegate on your behalf, so all you need is enough STX to meet the minimum and a wallet connection to get started.

If you scroll down, the Liquid Stacking section introduces flexible options like stSTX and LiSTX. Here, you don’t lock your STX—instead, you receive a token you can use in DeFi. Just follow the steps in the interface to convert and earn.

Each option has its own benefits:

• Prefer predictable cycles and direct BTC? Go pooled.

• Want to stay active in DeFi while earning? Go liquid.

The Leather app makes it easy to try either method with just a few clicks.
