To stake LEO on LeoDex for USDC rewards (as sLEO), you'll need LEO on Arbitrum and a compatible wallet like MetaMask. Here's the step-by-step process based on the latest updates:
Acquire LEO on Arbitrum: If your LEO is on another chain (e.g., Hive as heLEO, BSC as bLEO, Polygon as pLEO), bridge it to native LEO on Arbitrum via LeoBridge at leobridge.io. Connect your wallet, select the source/target chains, approve, and bridge (fees apply, takes ~10-30 min).
Connect Wallet to LeoDex: Go to leodex.io/leo. Connect your Arbitrum-enabled wallet (e.g., MetaMask with Arbitrum added). Ensure you have ETH on Arbitrum for gas fees.
Approve LEO Contract: On the staking page, click "Approve LEO" and confirm the transaction in your wallet. This allows the staking contract to access your LEO.
Stake LEO to sLEO: Enter the amount of LEO to stake, then click "Stake." Confirm the transaction. Rewards accrue automatically every minute in USDC (no unstaking wait or fees).
Claim USDC Rewards: Click "Claim Rewards" anytime to harvest USDC to your wallet. APY varies; check the dashboard for current stats.
If migrating from the old sLEO contract, use the migration UI at wleo.io/sleo: Connect wallet, approve, claim old rewards, then stake to new contract. No rush—rewards are off briefly for fairness.

I am confused. What is the connection between Arbitrum and Base?
Arbitrum and Base are both Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) scaling solutions, but they're developed by different teams and use distinct technologies to handle faster, cheaper transactions on Ethereum.
Arbitrum: Built by Offchain Labs, it uses optimistic rollups—bundling transactions off-chain and posting proofs to Ethereum mainnet. It's battle-tested for DeFi, NFTs, and gaming, with its own native token ARB for governance.
Base: Created by Coinbase in 2023, it also uses optimistic rollups but leverages OP Stack (from Optimism) for easier deployment and integration with Coinbase's ecosystem. It's designed for consumer apps, with seamless on-ramps via Coinbase Wallet.
Key connections:
In Leo's ecosystem, we focus on Arbitrum for native LEO and LeoDex, while Base hosts tokenized assets like TTSLA via Base Connect on InLeo. For bridging, use leobridge.io or tools like Hop Protocol.
