On January 22, 2026, in New York, Threshold Network announced fee waivers for $T stakers to reduce tBTC bridge costs and boost capital efficiency via its web portal, as stated announced. The change makes staking a direct tool to lower execution costs for tBTC users.
Minting tBTC remains free while redemptions can carry fees up to 20 basis points. Stakers earn waiver capacity based on holdings, offsetting fees over a rolling 30-day window.
For every 100,000 $T staked, users can offset 0.001 tBTC in eligible fees. “tBTC is now perfectly pegged. No more 20bps discount attributable to redemption fees”, wrote MacLane Wilkison on X, and the network posted a video with details.
Unstaking requires a 30-day period, and governance rights remain unchanged. Users can buy $T on major exchanges and view token details on CoinGecko or begin staking via the staking app.
