How to Stake USDC, MAXBTC in Astroport

Step 1: Buy USDC, MAXBTC

Purchase USDC, MAXBTC on Bybit, BINGX, or MEXC. Choose the Neutron network for withdrawal to avoid bridging fees. Confirm the network before completing the transfer.

Step 2: Set Up a Wallet

Install MetaMask or use a Ledger hardware wallet. Add the Neutron network if it is not detected automatically. Never store your seed phrase digitally.

Step 3: Get Neutron for Gas

Buy a small amount of Neutron's native token to pay transaction fees — usually $1–10 worth is sufficient for several transactions.

Step 4: Connect to Astroport

Visit the official Astroport app. Bookmark the URL directly. Never click links from DMs, social media, or email — phishing sites mimic real protocols exactly.

Step 5: Approve and Deposit

Approve the token spend in your wallet, then confirm the deposit transaction. Yield begins accruing in the next block after confirmation.

Step 6: Track and Harvest

Check your position regularly. Some pools require manual reward claims — harvest and reinvest to compound your 4.98% APY over time.
