<ul>
 <li>Users can convert staked ELA and rewards into tradable NFTs, burn them anytime for Bitcoin-secured ELA APY rewards, and claim the staked ELA when the lock period ends.</li>
 <li>Anyone can stake ELA with a validator and earn 2–3% APR, with higher rewards for longer lock periods.</li>
 <li>Elastos continues to build momentum for a new decentralized finance model, offering flexible liquidity, Bitcoin-backed security, and simple wallet access.</li>
</ul>
Elastos, a SmartWeb ecosystem provider, has expanded incentives for crypto users and validators with the launch of Bonded Proof of Stake (BPoS) NFTs. This new system offers users liquidity for staked assets by converting ELA and accumulated rewards into tradable NFT receipts, without interrupting rewards or waiting for the lock period to end. Through the Essentials Wallet, users can stake Bitcoin-secured ELA with a validator to earn 2–3% APR, with higher rewards for longer lock periods.
Today’s announcement underscores Elastos’ commitment to delivering value across the Smart Web ecosystem. Users can easily stake ELA tokens with BPoS validators on the Elastos Mainchain using the Essentials Wallet and issue BPoS NFTs. These NFTs can be freely traded or transferred on the Elastos Smart Chain (ESC), offering liquidity without affecting the staking period. Market participants can acquire NFTs to gain access to Mainchain rewards and the underlying staked asset. While the staked ELA remains locked until the staking period ends, NFT holders can burn their NFTs anytime to claim accumulated APY rewards.
“We are committed to delivering technologies that will create long-term value for our users and the ecosystem,” said Jonathan Hargreaves, Head of Global Growth at Elastos. “We are now in a position to deliver the tools and architecture that enable users to trade Bitcoin-backed value through ELA on Elastos without unstaking the underlying asset. This unlocks new market opportunities and sets the stage for BPoS NFTs to be used as collateral in BeL2’s upcoming Arbiter network. Ultimately, we aim to build a new model for decentralized finance backed by Bitcoin security, and we are entering a phase where users will increasingly benefit from these innovations.”

These NFTs represent receipts to claim ELA assets secured by Bitcoin’s hash power through Auxiliary Proof of Work (AuxPoW) and validators via the BPoS mechanism on the Elastos Mainchain. With 293.69 EH/s of Bitcoin’s total 580.74 EH/s hash rate, nearly half of Bitcoin’s security reinforces Elastos’ ELA, anchoring it in Bitcoin’s infrastructure without additional energy use and introducing new utility through mintable and burnable NFTs.
“With ELA’s fixed supply cap of 28.22 million, Bitcoin miner-shared security, and a 4-year halving cycle, ELA embodies Satoshi’s merge-mining BitDNS and Generalizing Bitcoin vision laid out on the Bitcoin forum in 2010,” added Sasha Mitchell, Head of BeL2. “Our roadmap continues to progress with the upcoming BeL2 arbiter network, which will support Native Bitcoin DeFi, allowing nodes to collateralize BPoS NFTs and unlock multiple revenue opportunities beyond ELA APY by supporting BTC-based services.”
<h3 id="strong-launching-the-bel2-arbiter-network-strong">Launching the BeL2 Arbiter Network</h3>
Elastos plans to launch the BeL2 arbiter network by the end of 2024. This network will allow BPoS NFTs to be used as collateral for supporting time-based transactions such as loans and stablecoin pegs, including dispute resolution services. Arbiter nodes using these NFTs will earn Bitcoin and ELA rewards without moving Bitcoin from the mainnet. This approach combines security, liquidity, and financial innovation, positioning Elastos as a key player in the evolution of blockchain-based finance.
