what's Fast Pool?

Fast Pool is the oldest stacking pool on the Stacks blockchain, enabling users to lock STX tokens in a non-custodial, trust-minimized setup. Participants delegate to the pool's signer set for network validation during Stacks' Proof-of-Transfer consensus, earning rewards distributed every two weeks directly to their wallets. Users select reward types including STX, sBTC, or BTC, with features like auto-compounding, real-time yield tracking, and simplified locking via integrations such as Ryder Wallet. Since Cycle #3, Fast Pool has achieved 100% uptime with zero missed reward cycles, prioritizing reliability and transparency. It supports low minimums, self-service stacking via lockstacks.com or the app, and contributes to Stacks' security while allowing users to maintain control over their funds throughout the process.

Fast Pool launched a new website simplifying STX stacking with improved transparency and design.
