# BNB Chain staking

> Delegate BNB to a validator on BNB Chain, or hold liquid slisBNB through Lista, both with a 7-day unbonding period.

Delegate BNB to a validator on BNB Chain (BSC), or hold slisBNB, a liquid receipt token issued by Lista. Both models share a 7-day unbonding period.

## Yields

| Yield ID | Staking type | Provider | Validator selection |
| - | - | - | - |
| `bsc-bnb-native-staking` | Native | Any active validator | Required |
| [`binance-bnb-slisbnb-staking`](/documentation/earn/defi/liquid-staking/slisbnb) | Liquid | Lista | Not applicable |

<Note>
  A second native-staking integration, `binance-bnb-native-staking`, exists in the yield registry but is under maintenance and excluded from live availability. Use `bsc-bnb-native-staking` instead.
</Note>

## Key facts

| | |
| - | - |
| Network ID | `binance` |
| Staked token | BNB |
| Unbonding / cooldown | 7 days |
| Minimum | 1 BNB (native staking) |
| Rewards | Auto, accrued daily and compounded into the stake |

## Enter and exit

Enter with `amount` (1 BNB minimum) and `validatorAddress`, both required. Exit with `amount` and `validatorAddress` to unstake; the unstaked balance enters the 7-day unbonding period before it can be claimed.

Liquid staking (slisBNB) takes no validator argument; see [Lista slisBNB](/documentation/earn/defi/liquid-staking/slisbnb).

## Managing the position

| Action | What it does |
| - | - |
| `CLAIM_UNSTAKED` | Claim the unstaked balance once the 7-day unbonding period completes |
| `RESTAKE` | Redelegate a staked balance to a different validator without unbonding |
