SFT Protocol provides liquid staking through tokenization. It’s a decentralized, secure platform for privacy computing and distributed storage. Initially applied to Filecoin, it addresses the issue of low token liquidity during long-term staking. The protocol will also be applied to other public chains like Ethereum, Polkadot, Ironfish, and Aleo.

Currently, SFT Protocol supports staking FIL through BSC and FVM to mint SFT and use SFT to obtain high returns on Farms. The following will teach you step-by-step how to mint SFT.

1. Set up the network (Metamask)

BSC: https://chainlist.org/chain/56

FVM: https://chainlist.org/chain/314

Switch the wallet to the BSC or FVM network, or click the link to add the BSC and FVM network to the Metamask wallet, as shown below.

2. Deposit FIL into the wallet

There are currently two ways to obtain FIL:

(2) Purchase through an exchange. Currently, we support FIL on BSC and FVM.
