Announcing the Chainlink Rewards Program With Launch Partner Space and Time
Chainlink Rewards Season Genesis launches May 8, 2025 with Space and Time, where 100,000,000 SXT tokens will be claimable by eligible LINK Stakers, with an additional 100,000,000 SXT planned to be used in the future of Chainlink Rewards.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chainlink, the standard for onchain finance, in collaboration with Space and Time (SXT), the blockchain for zero-knowledge (ZK)-proven data, announced today the introduction of Chainlink Rewards--a community engagement and rewards program designed to incentivize active participation in the Chainlink Network. The program enables Chainlink Build projects to make their native tokens claimable by Chainlink ecosystem participants, including eligible LINK Stakers.
Chainlink Rewards is launching in collaboration with Space and Time--a premier Build member who is making 4% of their total SXT token supply (200,000,000 SXT) available to Chainlink ecosystem participants, including LINK Stakers. The first batch of SXT tokens, consisting of 100,000,000 SXT, will become claimable by eligible historical and active LINK Stakers on May 8, 2025 during Season Genesis, the pilot season of Chainlink Rewards, where claims will be open for 90 days. The remaining 100,000,000 SXT, as well as any unclaimed SXT from Season Genesis, is planned to be made available in the future of Chainlink Rewards.
Chainlink Rewards represents the next evolution of the Build program, bringing together Build projects--ready to expand their communities and create global awareness for their products--and Chainlink ecosystem participants, eligible community and node operator stakers, who are committed to supporting and securing the Chainlink Network and include some of the most active and engaged participants in the blockchain ecosystem.
"It's very exciting to see our collaboration with Space and Time lead to such a fundamentally important initiative for our industry. Space and Time was one of the first projects to join the Chainlink Build program back during its initial launch in 2022 and their team has been building innovative technologies ever since. We look forward to working closely with Space and Time and the entire Build project community on accelerating the adoption of their unique products and expanding their communities." -- Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs.
Space and Time is a decentralized database network that uses ZK proofs to enable secure data processing and analytics for smart contracts. The long-time Build member project leverages Chainlink services to enable its ZK-proven queries to be delivered to smart contracts.
"We founded Space and Time with the goal of building the industry's first trustless database. The Build program has been instrumental to realizing this vision by providing engineering, GTM, and security resources to support Space and Time's growth and development. The launch of Chainlink Rewards is an exciting moment for our collective communities and we are excited to continue building with the Chainlink community to make smart contracts more data-driven." -- Scott Dykstra, Contributor #001 and Co-Founder of Space and Time.
The introduction of Chainlink Rewards, starting with the upcoming Season Genesis launch, marks the beginning of a new era for the Build program and its participants. Chainlink Rewards gives early-stage and established projects new ways to further expand their community and extend their reach.
Space and Time was one of the first members of the Chainlink Build program, joining in September 2022, and has accelerated the growth and adoption of their ecosystem as a result. Last year, Space and Time integrated Chainlink Functions to enable ZK-proven queries to be delivered to smart contracts.
