Stacks says STX restaking is live in Leather, where users can choose a pool and confirm the action in their wallet. The announcement says users who restake before about August 12, at Bitcoin block 962,050, can earn from cycle 141.
Leather access reduces the steps needed for Stacks users to participate in restaking, since pool selection and confirmation happen within the wallet. That can lower participation friction and give STX a direct utility-related use tied to the restaking process.
Availability in the wallet shows that the function can be used by Leather users, but does not by itself show how many users participate or whether the feature produces a broader market effect.
Reminder: restaking is live in @LeatherBTC.
Pick a pool, confirm in your wallet, done ✔️
