Pooled Stacking is a method that allows STX holders to combine their tokens with others to meet the minimum required to participate in Bitcoin rewards through the Stacks protocol. Rather than needing 100,000 STX on your own, you can delegate a smaller amount to a pool and still earn a share of the BTC distributed to Stackers.

Here’s how it works:

• You delegate your STX to a pool operator (also called a delegatee).

• The pool collects STX from multiple users and locks it for a cycle.

• If the combined total meets the network minimum, the pool earns Bitcoin rewards.

• Those rewards are distributed proportionally to all pool members.

• Pool operators may charge service fees.

Leather supports integration with several trusted pools, allowing users to:

• Easily delegate STX with a few clicks

• Monitor cycles and rewards

• Maintain custody of their funds throughout the process

This makes pooled Stacking a secure, low-barrier way to earn Bitcoin yield, even for smaller STX holders.
