Difference on Bahamut Staking vs. Lolik

Bahamut Staking vs. Pooled Staking

Staking on Bahamut gives you two options: home staking or pooled staking. Both help secure the network, but they work differently and suit different needs.

Home Staking on Bahamut

Home staking is the most independent and rewarding way to stake. You run your own validator, keep full control of your FTN, and earn the highest rewards. This option is ideal if you:

  • Have 8,192 FTN per validator.

  • Are comfortable setting up and managing hardware.

  • Want to contribute to the network’s security and decentralization directly

It takes effort. You need to maintain your validator 24/7 and handle any technical issues. But if you’re up for the challenge, it’s the most rewarding choice.

Pooled Staking

Pooled staking makes staking more accessible by allowing you to stake any amount of FTN, even if you don’t have enough for a full validator. It’s called "pooled staking" because your stake is combined with others to activate validators. Services like Lolik currently provide pooled staking, but in the future, other services may also offer this option.

With pooled staking, you get liquid staking tokens (stFTN) that represent your stake and can be used in DeFi. This option is great if you:

  • Don’t have enough FTN for a validator.

  • Don’t want to manage hardware or software.

  • Prefer a simpler way to earn rewards.

Keep in mind, with Lolik, you’re trusting a third party to manage your stake, which means less control than home staking.

Which Should You Choose?

If you want full control, higher rewards, and don’t mind the effort, home staking is for you.

Both options are great for helping secure Bahamut and earning rewards. Choose the one that fits your style!
