### Earn yield, points, and support Solv’s BTCFi + RWAFi infrastructure

Staking $SOLV is the easiest way to earn yield, accumulate partner points, and directly strengthen the cryptoeconomic security of Solv’s cross-chain asset flow. 

* When you stake, you receive stSOLV, a liquid staking receipt that grows in value as rewards accrue. 
* Rewards are paid in vSOLV, Solv’s time-locked rewards token.

### Why Stake $SOLV?

Staked $SOLV reinforces the economic security behind Solv’s assets and cross-chain infrastructure.

* Staking Security (via Symbiotic): Your staked SOLV becomes collateral that can be staked. This aligns incentives with network integrity and introduces economic penalties for misbehavior.
* Ensures Cross-Chain Reliability: It secures through Chainlink CCIP cross-chain message execution, accurate and tamper-resistant institutional vault accounting, and verifiable on-chain settlement flows
* Multiple Reward Streams: Users earn, yield (via vault strategy), vSOLV rewards, Symbiotic Points and Mellow Points. 

## How to Stake Using Mellow

Staking is done through the Mellow Protocol: <https://x.com/mellowprotocol>&#x20;
