- The news comes after Real’s Genesis Staking Campaign ended, with over 2.8 million $ASSET staked across 145 wallets.
- The new staking window will begin at 16:00 UTC on August 12 and end at 16:00 UTC on November 10.
As the project approaches the launch of its public testnet, Real has started a new 90-day $ASSET staking campaign with a set 75,000 USDC reward pool, expanding on participation from its Genesis staking program.
The new staking window will begin at 16:00 UTC on August 12 and end at 16:00 UTC on November 10. Participants may get ahead of the network’s next development phase and become eligible for certain early testnet programs when they are offered since the campaign coincides with Real’s anticipated Q3 2026 public testnet.
The news comes after Real’s Genesis Staking Campaign ended, with over 2.8 million $ASSET staked across 145 wallets. Including the 50,000 USDC given to Genesis, the total fixed rewards distributed throughout the two subsequent staking campaigns now amount 125,000 USDC thanks to the addition of a second 75,000 USDC reward pool in the current campaign.
The new campaign’s rewards will be given out pro rata and time-weighted. The amount of $ASSET staked, the length of time the position is active throughout the campaign, any relevant pool-weight bonuses, and the total qualifying pool weight accrued by all players will determine each participant’s share.
Returning Genesis players have the option of withdrawing, increasing, or restaking their current position in addition to claiming their Genesis rewards. Depending on the extent of the increase in relation to their Genesis investment, those who recommit or grow their holdings may be eligible for bonus pool-weight multipliers that range from 10% to 50%. When determining pool weight, the multiplier is applied to the participant’s total staking position.
The initiative is open to new participants as well. A 5% pool-weight bonus on the $ASSET staked over the program’s first ten days will be awarded to participants.
Participants in the new campaign will be entitled to take part in certain early public testnet initiatives when they are launched, in addition to staking rewards. According to Real, these programs might include testing network interfaces and apps, finishing technical or community engagement chores, and supporting network readiness projects. Program-specific rewards and participation conditions will be disclosed individually for each program.
The new staking campaign does not safeguard the impending testnet or carry out validator activities; instead, it is designed as a pre-testnet participation initiative. Real said that distinct eligibility requirements that are disclosed before to each program would control access to future testnet operations and any related incentives.
Any USDC incentives earned throughout the campaign will be forfeited by participants who withdraw before the conclusion of the 90-day staking period. Additionally, there is an early withdrawal penalty on the staked $ASSET principle, which starts at 50% at launch and goes down linearly to 0% at contract maturity. Starting on August 12 at 16:00 UTC, the staking opportunity is accessible via Real’s staking dashboard.
Specifically designed for real-world assets, REAL is an institutional-grade EVM-compatible Layer 1. Compliant tokenization, asset lifecycle management, validator involvement, risk visibility, settlement processes, and on-chain financial product interoperability are all made possible by REAL’s architecture. In order to put real-world assets on-chain, the REAL ecosystem assists financial institutions, tokenization platforms, issuers, validators, custodians, liquidity providers, and infrastructure partners.
