REAL Staking Is Live: Stake $ASSET and Join the Network Early

Announcements

REAL staking is officially open.

This marks the beginning of the Genesis Staking Campaign, a three-month early participation phase designed for $ASSET holders who want to position themselves before REAL moves into its next network staking model.

During this campaign, participants who stake $ASSET will compete for a time-weighted share of 50,000 USDC.

That means your allocation is based on two key factors:

How much $ASSET you stake.
How early and how long you keep it staked.

The earlier you join, the more time your stake has to accumulate weight in the reward calculation.

Why This Campaign Matters

Genesis staking is more than a short-term reward event.

It is an early entry point into REAL's broader staking and validator ecosystem.

By staking now, participants can secure early positioning as REAL prepares to transition toward a Proof of Authority model and a future network-driven staking structure.

This phase gives early supporters the opportunity to take part from day one, before rewards begin shifting toward activity generated by the network itself.

What Stakers Can Receive

By joining the Genesis Staking Campaign, $ASSET stakers gain access to:

✅ A proportional share of the 50,000 USDC Genesis reward pool
✅ Early participation before REAL's PoA staking phase
✅ Future positioning around validator participation and rewards
✅ Access to transaction fee-based rewards once the network is live

The structure is simple:

Stake earlier.
Stake longer.
Stake more.
Increase your proportional share.

What Happens After the Genesis Campaign?

Once the three-month campaign ends, REAL staking will move into the next stage.

Instead of being based only on the Genesis reward pool, staking will begin aligning with REAL's network economy.

Future rewards are expected to come from real network activity, including:

✅ Transaction fees
✅ Validator-related rewards
✅ Participation in REAL's PoA-based staking model

This creates a path from early staking participation toward long-term network involvement.

How Rewards Are Calculated

Rewards are distributed using a time-weighted and amount-weighted model.

This means every participant's share depends on both the size of their stake and the length of time it remains in the pool.

A larger stake can increase your share.

Joining earlier can also increase your share.

Together, these two factors determine your proportional allocation from the 50,000 USDC campaign pool.
