Basic sBTC rewards

May 5, 2025

Leather does not control or distribute sBTC rewards. Participation requires connecting to third-party protocols.

What are basic sBTC rewards?

The sBTC Rewards Program lets Bitcoin holders earn up to 5% APY paid in sBTC—a Bitcoin-backed asset on the Stacks blockchain.

To earn these rewards, users can:

  • Provide liquidity in DeFi protocols like Granite, Zest, ALEX, Hermetica, and Bitflow
  • Participate in supported lending, swapping, or staking strategies
  • Accumulate sBTC based on on-chain activity

Key benefits:

  • Non-custodial: You retain control of your sBTC at all times

  • Composable: Rewards are earned through smart contract-based actions

  • Bitcoin-native: Rewards paid in sBTC maintain exposure to Bitcoin Leather will enable users to:

  • Track sBTC balances and eligible positions

  • Connect to integrated apps supporting the rewards program

  • Manage participation securely from within the wallet To explore current opportunities and learn more, visit https://bitcoinismore.org.
