Pooled Stacking allows you to earn Bitcoin without needing to meet the high minimum required for solo stacking (~100,000 STX). You can delegate your STX to a pool, which stacks on your behalf along with others.

This transaction can’t be reversed

Once your STX is delegated to a pool and the pool starts stacking it, you cannot cancel or withdraw early. You must wait until the pool’s chosen number of cycles completes. Leather cannot reverse this process.

Research your pool

Each pool decides:

• How many cycles your STX will be locked

• When and how rewards are distributed

• What fees or slashing conditions apply

Rewards and unlock timing are entirely controlled by the pool. Always research the protocol and track record before committing.

Stacking with a pool contract

Your STX is delegated to a smart contract that the pool uses to run Stacking operations. By approving the contract, you're accepting the terms of the pool’s stacking contract.

Highlights

• Temporary lockup: Usually 1 cycle (~2 weeks), but may be more

• No tradable token: You retain your STX balance, but it’s non-transferable while delegated

• Integrated tools: Leather shows pool options, cycle timers, and reward status
