How to Stake SHIB on ShibaSwap: Complete Bury & Dig Guide to Earn Rewards
Key Takeaways
- What is ShibaSwap? The official DEX for SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and ecosystem tokens, built on Ethereum (with some Shibarium integrations).
- Bury (Staking): Lock SHIB → get xSHIB, LEASH → xLEASH, BONE → tBONE/xBONE; earn BONE rewards (some locked for 6 months).
- Dig (Liquidity Provision): Add token pairs to pools (e.g., SHIB/ETH) to receive LP tokens (SSLP), then stake them for BONE via Woof or similar features.
- Key Rewards: Primarily BONE (governance token); note that new BONE minting stopped in 2023, so rewards are drawn from existing pools.
- Level Note (Intermediate): Assumes you have a wallet (e.g., MetaMask), understand gas fees, impermanent loss risks, and basic DeFi concepts like approvals.
- Current (2026): Bury remains on Ethereum; check Shibarium for validator staking alternatives.
Introduction
What is ShibaSwap? (DeFi DEX Overview)
Key Features of ShibaSwap:
- Swap: Directly trade SHIB, LEASH, BONE, and other supported tokens.
- Dig: Add liquidity to pools and earn rewards such as BONE by staking LP tokens.
- Bury: Stake SHIB, LEASH, or BONE to earn BONE rewards and participate in governance.
- Woof: A feature that used to allow staking LP tokens for BONE; now integrated into Dig and Bury flows.
How to Get Started on ShibaSwap
- Set Up a Wallet: Use MetaMask, WalletConnect, or another Ethereum-compatible wallet. Fund your wallet with ETH for gas fees and your preferred tokens (SHIB, LEASH, BONE).
- Connect to ShibaSwap: Visit shibaswap.com → Click “Connect Wallet” (top right) and approve the connection in your wallet.
- Switch Networks: Make sure you’re connected to the Ethereum Mainnet if you’re staking (Bury). For ShibaSwap’s Shibarium integration, you can use ShibaSwap with Shibarium’s network when available.
- Handle Approvals: The first time you interact with ShibaSwap, you’ll need to approve token spends (gas fee). Approve the necessary permissions for staking or liquidity provision.
Bury: Staking SHIB, LEASH, or BONE
Step-by-Step Guide to Bury:
- Navigate to the Bury section (accessible under Earn or directly at shibaswap.com/bury).
- Select the token you want to stake: SHIB, LEASH, or BONE.
- Enter the amount of tokens you wish to stake, and approve the transaction (gas fee).
- Confirm the staking transaction.
- Once staked, you’ll receive XSHIB, XLEASH, or tBONE/xBONE as proof of your stake.
- Rewards will accumulate over time, and you can claim them periodically via the dashboard. Some rewards may be locked for 6 months.
Rewards Breakdown, Intermediate Details:
- Bury SHIB: Earn BONE as rewards, and potentially gain additional Shiba Inu ecosystem perks. The XSHIB represents both your staked SHIB and any earned rewards.
- Bury LEASH: A higher-scarcity token, staking LEASH gives you XLEASH and earns BONE rewards, with the potential for higher returns.
- Bury BONE: The governance token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, tBONE/xBONE represents your staked BONE and provides additional yield rewards from the platform. Often offers the highest APY.
Dig: Providing Liquidity & Earning Yields
Step-by-Step Guide to Dig:
- Navigate to the Pool or Liquidity section (shibaswap.com/pool or similar).
- Select or create a pair (e.g., SHIB/ETH, SHIB/BONE).
- Enter the amounts (50/50 value ratio) for each token and approve the transaction.
- Once you confirm, you will receive SSLP (ShibaSwap LP) tokens representing your share of the pool.
- To earn extra rewards, stake SSLP tokens in the relevant pools for BONE rewards.
- Keep track of impermanent loss: If token prices in the pool diverge significantly, your pool value may decrease compared to simply holding the tokens.
Advanced Tips:
- Concentrated Liquidity: If you're using v2 pools, consider using concentrated liquidity for better efficiency in the pool.
- Check APY: Before adding liquidity, check the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) to understand potential returns.
- Withdraw: When you want to exit the pool, withdraw your liquidity to reclaim your tokens plus any earned trading fees.
Risks & Best Practices for Intermediate Users
- Impermanent Loss: This occurs in liquidity pools when the prices of tokens diverge. You can mitigate this risk by using stable pairs (e.g., SHIB/USDT) or by regularly monitoring the pool.
- Gas Fees: Transactions on Ethereum can be costly, especially during periods of high network congestion. Consider using ShibaSwap during low-gas times or batching your actions to save on fees.
- Smart Contract Risks: While ShibaSwap has been audited, there’s always a risk in DeFi. Always ensure you’re interacting with official Shiba Inu resources.
- Reward Fluctuations: BONE rewards may change as the ecosystem evolves, especially since BONE minting was halted in 2023.
- Taxes & Tracking: Staking rewards are typically taxable; use tools to track your earnings and manage your tax obligations.
- Alternatives: Consider exploring Shibarium staking through validators for lower fees and different staking options.
