# Bitcoin Staking

Bitcoin staking is a concept enabling BNB holders to stake their dormant BNB to enhance the security of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chains, while also earning yields. The proposed Bitcoin staking protocol introduces a trustless mechanism, allowing users to stake their BNB and earn reward in  wBTC.&#x20;

Bitcoin staking via BNB presents an innovative, challenging, and cost-efficient approach. Yield24 tackles this challenge by seamlessly integrating a lending protocol that offers wBTC. These wBTC assets are strategically utilized in smart contracts designed to optimize yield through protocols such as LIDO, Compound, Stader, and Centrifuge. This not only maximizes the yield, potentially reaching up to 25%, but also preserves the value of BTC in the form of yBTC rather than BNB. Furthermore, yBTC can be employed in our flagship product trenches, including senior trenches, junior trenches, and mazzine trenches. For more details about trenches, please refer to the next section.
