# About pSTAKE Staking

An Introduction to $PSTAKE Staking

Welcome to **pSTAKE Staking** - a transparent staking program for pSTAKE holders to deposit tokens and earn Bitcoin yields in return for active community and governance participation.

This staking initiative is very simple; *you stake PSTAKE, you get BTC.*

Participants deposit BTC to generate pSATS (pSTAKE Points), which can be converted into BTC derivatives (e.g. wBTC, cbBTC etc.) at the end of each season.
