AirGap is working on adding ICP Staking and ckBTC support
We are thrilled by the positive feedback we received after announcing the integration of ICP into AirGap. Our team has been actively listening to the ICP community and users’ requests, and we are excited to announce that we will be adding staking and ckBTC support.
During a recent Twitter space session with ICP, our tech lead, Andreas Gassmann, made the official announcement that the AirGap developers are actively working on integrating ckBTC and ICP Staking.
If you are interested in listening to all that was discussed on the Twitter Space session, here is a recorded version:
Staking on ICP
Staking is a process that allows users to lock up their coins to support the network and earn rewards. With ICP staking, users can participate in consensus and secure the network by holding ICP. In return, they will get a percentage of the transaction fees and newly minted tokens. Soon you will be able to earn rewards while access to your funds is stored securely thanks to AirGap.
Support for ckBTC
We are also adding support for ckBTC, a bitcoin-pegged token on the Internet Computer Protocol. It will enable users to hold and transact bitcoin on the ICP network.

Our team is committed to providing its users with the latest and most innovative features in the crypto space. We expect to complete the implementation of ICP staking and ckBTC support by the end of March. This move underscores the potential of the ICP network and its ability to attract new users and developers.
