Hey everyone, happy Saturday! Last night I went to the park to relax, and suddenly a little dog ran over. I sat down, and it obediently stayed by my side to keep me company.

As I was leaving, I thought, since it's so late—it's already past 1 AM—it must be pretty lonely for it to be alone. If it’s willing to come with me, I’d take it home. I was really looking forward to having a puppy. But it just accompanied me to the park entrance and then turned around and ran off, so I ended up feeling a bit disappointed.

But let’s talk about something happy. I’ve been following @stbl_official regularly, and they recently released a major upgrade to staking — the MFS 1.5 version is finally live!

As a long-time user of STBL, I can really feel that the team has listened to our feedback this time.

Previously, some people complained that the staking terms in the old version were too rigid—either too short with no rewards or too long with no liquidity, and the reward cap wasn’t high enough. This upgrade directly solves those issues and adds many practical new features.

▰ First, let’s talk about the funds in the old contracts that everyone is most concerned about.
After 2 PM UTC tomorrow, users who locked funds in the v1 version will be able to unlock them. But here’s a quick reminder:

If you still have unclaimed rewards, you need to claim them first before unlocking your funds. After unlocking, don’t just leave it idle—transfer your funds to the new contract and restake to enjoy the new benefits. Otherwise, you’ll miss out on the new rewards.

▰ The most surprising part of this upgrade is the increased flexibility.
Previously, staking periods were limited to 3, 7, or 14 days. Now, the period has been expanded to 90 days, with additional options for 30 and 60 days.

The interface now features a “Lock-up Period Slider,” allowing you to choose any duration between 3 and 90 days directly. No more worrying about “shorter periods earning fewer rewards” or “longer periods sacrificing flexibility.”

It’s even more convenient now—you can stake multiple times at once.
For example, if you want an emergency fund, you can lock 30 days; if you want to chase higher rewards, lock 90 days. Each stake can be claimed separately, and once the lock-up period ends, you can withdraw without any hassle.

▰ Rewards are also more generous.
Previously, the maximum multiplier was 3x. Now, it’s been increased to 5x.
Getting the full 5x reward is easy—just lock for 90 days and stake USST and STBL in a 1:1 ratio.

Plus, the total reward pool hasn’t shrunk. Over 10 million $STBL tokens will be distributed over 90 days, with over 110,000 tokens available daily. The earlier you stake, the better your chances.

▰ The dashboard has also been upgraded thoughtfully. It’s now divided into two versions:
v1 is dedicated to checking old contract staking status and claiming old rewards.
1.5 version manages all operations for the new contract, such as opening new stakes and claiming new rewards.

The functions are clearly separated, so there’s no need to switch back and forth to find the right interface. Even newcomers to STBL staking can get started easily.

Overall, this MFS 1.5 upgrade really shows that they’re thinking about users. It caters to those who want short-term flexible options and also rewards friends who prefer long-term holding and locking. If you’re interested, definitely check it out.
