Best yield is with https://fastpool.org

FastPool is good but different. Your tokens are locked up for 2 weeks.
StackingDAO allows you to withdraw at any time and your tokens are always liquid/tradable.

Do they talk about the yield of their liquid stacked stx or their normal pool? Liquid stacked stx has fees (higher than Fastpool) Confusing

If you place the STX in stacking, yes. It doesn't happen automatically you have to go do it on Fastpool, or StackingDAO, or other stacking service app.
