The initiative aims to incentivize participation by distributing 85,600 EOS daily to stakers, with an initial annual percentage yield (APY) exceeding 60%.
Over the next year, this program will distribute over 31 million EOS tokens in rewards, reflecting the network’s dedication to expanding its community.
Key changes in the updated program include extending the lock-up period from four days to 21 days, enhancing the staking experience.
Additionally, EOS Block Producers (BPs) will now receive network-generated fees alongside their block reward income, offering more incentives for infrastructure providers as network activity increases.
This revamped staking program is designed to provide sustainable rewards and promote network growth, marking a significant advancement for EOS Network.
