Stader’s staking solution for BNB Chain is BNBx, a liquid staking solution for BNB on the Binance Chain . With BNBx, Stader enables users to participate in other DeFi protocols and earn additional rewards while continuing to accrue staking rewards on their staked BNB.

### Here's how it works!

#### **1. Deposit and Token Issuance** <a href="#id-1.-deposit-and-token-issuance" id="id-1.-deposit-and-token-issuance"></a>

When a user deposits BNB into the Stader staking smart contracts, the protocol issues BNBx tokens back to the user based on the current Exchange Rate. These tokens act as a liquid representation of the user's staked BNB, allowing them to maintain control over their assets without sacrificing potential staking rewards.

#### **2. Node Network and Reward Generation** <a href="#id-3.-node-network-and-reward-generation" id="id-3.-node-network-and-reward-generation"></a>

The BNB from the pools is then allocated to the Binance Chain validators, a decentralized group of nodes that interact with the protocol's staking contracts. These nodes perform critical validation tasks for the Binance Chain. The tasks performed by these nodes generates staking rewards.

#### **3. Accrued Rewards and Value Growth** <a href="#id-4.-accrued-rewards-and-value-growth" id="id-4.-accrued-rewards-and-value-growth"></a>

As the nodes generate rewards, these are accumulated and lead to an increase in the Exchange Rate of BNBx relative to BNB. This growth mechanism ensures that BNBx tokens increase in value over time, reflecting the staking rewards earned from the BNB staked.

In essence, BNBx offers a flexible, scalable, and profitable solution for the Binance Chain staking. It enables users to earn rewards and participate in the DeFi ecosystem without locking up their assets. Additionally, BNBx supports a scalable and decentralized staking solution, contributing to the overall decentralization of the Bincance Chain.
