From THORChain realms
ShapeShift has introduced an exciting new feature: the RUNE pool, offering single-sided staking specifically for RUNE. This update is perfect for anyone looking to earn RUNE rewards while making the most of ShapeShift’s flexible DeFi tools.
Let’s explore how you can stake FOX, get rFOX, and start earning RUNE, all while leveraging the innovative possibilities ShapeShift provides.
Why Single-Sided Staking for RUNE Is a Game-Changer
If you’ve been involved in DeFi, you’re likely aware that staking can sometimes be tricky—especially when you have to pair assets and deal with the risk of impermanent loss. The RUNE pool on ShapeShift simplifies this process by allowing you to stake RUNE on its own. No need to worry about pairing; just stake your RUNE and let the rewards come in. This straightforward approach is ideal for building up your RUNE holdings without the usual hassle, all while staying connected to the THORChain ecosystem.
But the real potential of this feature shines when you combine it with ShapeShift’s broader DeFi ecosystem.
How to Stake FOX, Get rFOX, and Earn RUNE
ShapeShift’s money lego concept is designed to help you get more from your assets. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Stake Your FOX: Start by staking your FOX tokens on ShapeShift. In return, you’ll receive rFOX tokens on Arbitrum, which represent your staked FOX and unlock additional features and rewards on the platform.
- Earn RUNE with rFOX: Once you have rFOX, you can use it to start earning RUNE rewards. This is where ShapeShift’s money lego system comes into play—using one asset (FOX) to generate rewards in another (RUNE). It’s all about maximizing the potential of your assets.
- Expand Your RUNE Portfolio: As you accumulate RUNE, you can further engage with the THORChain ecosystem, stake more RUNE, or explore other DeFi opportunities available through ShapeShift.
