Staking on Dusk is entering a new era. Stake Abstraction, also known as Hyperstaking, allows smart contracts to participate directly in staking. This removes the old limitation where only user wallets could stake and opens the door to fully programmable, automated, and decentralized staking systems.

With Hyperstaking, smart contracts behave like real staking participants. A contract can stake or unstake based on predefined logic, manage rewards automatically, and distribute or reinvest earnings without manual input. Users no longer need to run nodes or manage complex staking operations. The process becomes seamless, efficient, and trustless.

One of the biggest outcomes of Hyperstaking is Liquid Staking. Smart contracts can now run staking pools where users simply deposit tokens and earn rewards. Sozu is the first project using this model on Dusk, enabling users to stake DUSK easily while the contract handles validation, rewards, and automation behind the scenes.

Hyperstaking also supports referral-based staking, where users earn rewards by bringing others into the ecosystem. Beyond that, it enables staking-as-a-service, custom incentive models, and staking derivatives designed by developers.
Hyperstaking removes friction from staking and transforms it into a flexible, developer-driven financial layer for Web3.
