The HashPack ecosystem is evolving—and we’re excited to announce that PACK staking will go live on October 15th, 2025. This marks a major milestone for users looking to grow their digital assets with a reliable, transparent, and rewarding mechanism.
PACK is the official utility token of HashPack, designed to empower the community, reward loyal supporters, and enhance the overall user experience. With the introduction of staking, you can now put your PACK tokens to work by converting them into xPACK, a yield-bearing staking token that grows in value over time.

How PACK Staking Works
When you stake your PACK tokens, they are instantly converted into xPACK at a 1:1 ratio. For example:
- You stake 10,000 PACK
- You receive 10,000 xPACK
The number of xPACK tokens you hold remains constant—but their value increases relative to PACK at a fixed annual percentage rate (APR) of 5%. This means that over time, your xPACK balance becomes redeemable for more PACK tokens than you originally staked.
After one full year:
- You unstake 10,000 xPACK
- You receive 10,500 PACK
This growth is automatic and compounded continuously, allowing your staked assets to appreciate without requiring any additional action on your part.
If you're familiar with models like xSAUCE on SaucerSwap or HBARX on Stader, the mechanics will feel intuitive. The system is designed for simplicity, transparency, and long-term sustainability.
Step-by-Step Guide to Staking PACK
Getting started with PACK staking is simple and can be done directly within the HashPack wallet.
Step 1: Acquire PACK Tokens
Before staking, you’ll need some PACK tokens. You can obtain them in several ways:
- Swap HBAR or any HTS token using the in-wallet swap feature
- Use the Buy/Sell button inside HashPack to purchase directly
- Trade on supported exchanges such as SaucerSwap, Gate.io, MEXC, or Bitget
You’ll also need a small amount of HBAR to cover network fees when interacting with the Hedera blockchain.
Step 2: Begin Staking
- Open your HashPack wallet
- Click the Stake button
- Select the PACK tab
- Click Stake PACK
- Enter the amount of PACK you’d like to stake
- Confirm and press Stake
That’s it—your tokens are now staked and immediately begin earning rewards through xPACK accumulation.
Managing Your Staked Assets
One of the standout features of PACK staking is its flexibility. Unlike traditional staking models with lock-up periods, this system offers full liquidity.
How to Unstake
Unstaking is just as easy:
- Click the Unstake xPACK button
- Enter the amount of xPACK you want to convert back
- Confirm and press Unstake
Your xPACK is instantly converted back to PACK at the current exchange rate, which includes all accrued rewards.
How to Add More PACK
Want to increase your stake? Simply:
- Press the Stake PACK button again
- Enter the additional amount
- Confirm and stake
There’s no limit to how many times you can top up your stake—making it easy to compound your rewards over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PACK and xPACK?
PACK is the base utility token. When staked, it converts 1:1 into xPACK—the staking derivative that increases in value over time at a fixed rate of 5% APR.
Are staking rewards guaranteed?
Yes, the 5% APR is fixed and backed by sufficient token reserves allocated specifically for staking distributions. The team has prioritized sustainability to maintain this rate for the foreseeable future.
Can I lose money staking PACK?
While the staking mechanism itself does not expose you to impermanent loss or slashing risks, the market value of PACK may fluctuate based on external factors. However, your staked balance will always grow in quantity relative to unstaked PACK.
Is there a minimum or maximum amount I can stake?
There is no minimum or maximum limit. You can stake any amount of PACK tokens, subject only to your wallet balance and network fees.
Do I need special hardware or NFTs to participate?
No. Anyone with PACK tokens and a small amount of HBAR for transaction fees can stake. Hardware wallets like Ledger or D’CENT don’t support direct staking but can receive both PACK and xPACK transfers.
How are network fees calculated?
Fees are standard Hedera network charges—typically just a few cents per transaction. These help secure the network and prevent spam activity.
