Starknet starts Bitcoin-Staking: First Layer 2 solution with certainty!

On September 30, 2025, Starknet celebrated the introduction of Bitcoin-Staking on his Mainnet. This is an important step because it is the first Layer 2 solution that offers users the opportunity to stake BTC with complete wealth custody without having to hand over their control over the assets. With this innovative function, BTC holders can benefit from attractive rewards and manage their assets in a safe environment. This was in a post on crypto.news announced.

Bitcoin-Staking's rollout follows an upgrade that was carried out on September 15, 2025. This development corresponds to the timetable for BTCFI, which was outlined in June and approved in August. By introducing Wrapped Bitcoin assets such as WBTC, LBTC, TBTC and SOLVBTC, the network power of the network is significantly increased, since these assets contribute up to 25% to network staking power.

Strategic partnerships for growth

To support this initiative, Starknet launched a 100 million StrK incentive program. This program aims to promote BTC liquidity as well as stablecoin loans and defi activities. In addition, a partnership with RE7 Labs was announced that introduces a Bitcoin institutional Yield Fund for institutional and private users. This fund will offer access to on-chain and off-chain-BTC income strategies, which can be of great advantage for investors.

RE7 Labs is viewed as an important contribution to the strong net ecosystem and manages assets of over 1 billion USD. Individual investors have the option of accessing the same yield strategies via Midasrwa, a tokenized version of the fund. These integrative solutions not only strengthen the DEFI structure, but also increase the market opportunities for stakeholders within the Starknet ecosystem.

Innovations on capital efficiency

In order to increase efficiency, Starknet has introduced an automated liquidity market maker (Almm) on the Ekubo platform. This supports BTC, ETH, StrK and StableCoin pairs in order to further improve capital efficiency. The aim is to make Starknet the cheapest platform for loans against Bitcoin, which could be an advantage for both new and existing users.

In addition, Starknet announced new integrations with layerzero, Bitgo and Stargate. These collaborations are intended to improve the accessibility and cross-chain connectivity of the network, which is of crucial importance in today's diverse crypto landscape. Starknet thus sets clear signs in the direction of a more comprehensive and efficient defi ecosystem.
