Starknet Community Approves Bitcoin Staking Integration
Ethereum's second-tier network Starknet will introduce Bitcoin staking into the ecosystem as part of SNIP -31. 93.6% of voters supported the proposal.
According to the parameters, the staking power weight of the first cryptocurrency is set at 0.25, which gives 25% influence on the overall consensus. The native coin of the STRK protocol will have a staking power of 0.75.
The network will support “wrapped” versions of digital gold — WBTC, LBTC, tBTC, and SolvBTC. The list may be expanded in the future.

“The official launch will take place in the coming weeks,” the project team noted.
Wrapped coin holders will be able to delegate or stake assets on Starknet along with STRK to participate in network security and earn protocol rewards according to set parameters that will be revealed once the feature is integrated.
STRK barely reacted to the news. In 24 hours, the coin fell by 6%, according to CoinGecko.
