Chainlink Rewards Season 1 FAQ 🎁⬇️ What is Chainlink Rewards? • Chainlink Rewards is a community engagement and rewards program that enables Chainlink Build projects to make their native tokens claimable by Chainlink ecosystem participants, including eligible LINK stakers. What is Season 1? • Season 1 is the latest evolution of the Chainlink Rewards program, featuring nine Build projects and a more advanced claiming mechanism designed to provide eligible LINK stakers a more interactive, choice-driven experience that strengthens their engagement and connection with Build projects. Which Build projects are featured in Season 1? • Season 1 features the following nine Build projects: • @Dolomite_io • @spaceandtime • @xswap_link • @Brickken • @FolksFinance • @mindnetwork_xyz • @Suku_world • @TRUFNETWORK by @truflation • @bitsCrunch How does Season 1 work? • In Season 1, eligible LINK stakers receive Cubes—a non-transferable, non-monetary unit of account—that can be redeemed for token rewards. Eligible LINK stakers can visit rewards.chain.link to allocate Cubes to the Build projects they want to claim tokens from. Cubes can be allocated to projects in any manner and can be adjusted any time until the final snapshot of Cubes allocations is taken on Dec 9. What are the key dates to know for Season 1? • November 3: Snapshot was taken determining Cubes balances for eligible LINK stakers in Season 1. • November 11: Allocation period began where eligible LINK stakers can begin to allocate Cubes to the projects of their choice. • December 9: Allocation period ends and a final snapshot of Cubes allocations is taken. Cubes expire after the final snapshot is taken. • December 16: Claim period begins where tokens start to unlock and become claimable over time. What are the eligibility criteria for Season 1? • In Season 1, eligible LINK stakers received an amount of Cubes related to their historical participation in Chainlink Staking v0.1 and v0.2, based on the amount of LINK staked and time staked. Cubes accrual started when Chainlink Staking v0.1 launched and transitioned to tracking staking activity on Staking v0.2 at its launch. How many tokens will I get per Cube allocated? • Each project has a fixed pool of tokens for Season 1. During the allocation period, the redemption rate between Cubes and tokens floats based on how many Cubes have been allocated to the project. The number of tokens a participant can claim from a Build project is proportional to their share of the total Cubes allocated to that project. • For example, if your allocation equals 1% of all the Cubes allocated to a project, you can claim 1% of the tokens that project made available in Season 1. A final snapshot of Cubes allocation will be taken on Dec 9, after which Cubes expire. Can I receive tokens from each project in Season 1? • Yes, participants can allocate their Cubes in any fashion, including allocating to each project  (e.g., all to one project, spread across many, equal-weighted).

The claim period for Chainlink Rewards Season 1 is now live. rewards.chain.link Starting today, eligible LINK stakers who allocated Cubes during the 1-month allocation period can begin to claim tokens as they unlock over time. 🧵⬇️

THE ROAD TO SMARTCON STARTS NOW • What others announce in a year, we’re shipping in 3 weeks • A rapid expansion of Chainlink’s massive ecosystem converging TradFi & DeFi • Each week builds on the last, with all roads leading to SmartCon See every announcement so far 🧵⬇️

We're excited to announce that Chainlink and the United States Department of Commerce (@CommerceGov) have worked together to bring U.S. government macroeconomic data onchain. blog.chain.link/united-state… These new Chainlink Data Feeds securely deliver critical information around key U.S. economy metrics onchain, sourced from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (@BEA_News). Metrics include the Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers. Bringing key U.S. government data onchain unlocks innovative use cases for blockchain markets, including: • Automated trading strategies • Increased composability of tokenized assets • Issuance of new types of digital assets • Real-time prediction markets for crowdsourced intelligence • Transparent dashboards powered by immutable data • DeFi protocol risk management based on macroeconomic factors These datasets are updated monthly or quarterly as applicable, and are initially being made available across ten blockchain ecosystems, starting with Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic, and ZKsync. Support for additional blockchain networks can be incorporated over time based on user demand. This development builds upon Chainlink’s accelerated work with the U.S. government in 2025, including meeting with several key officials and regulators to make policy recommendations that are advancing the growth of the blockchain industry.

The Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard is designed to provide developers with full control over their token operations while eliminating vendor lock-in. Understand why CCTs give token developers greater flexibility than other cross-chain solutions ↓ blog.chain.link/chainlink-cc…

Build member @instruxi has integrated the Chainlink standard into its @spaceandtime Adapter and Beacon Functions Contract. This streamlines access to Chainlink Proof of Reserve & Functions, driving enterprise adoption and powering ecosystem growth. instruxi.io/news/instruxi-in…

The backbone of onchain finance: • Need to verify reserves? • Need data to trigger a transaction? • Need to move assets cross-chain? • Need to connect existing systems to blockchains? • Need to add privacy, compliance, or automation to a workflow? Just use Chainlink.

.@Ripple has adopted the Chainlink standard to access highly secure & reliable pricing data around the recently launched Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin. Learn how Chainlink Price Feeds are set to accelerate the adoption of RLUSD across the DeFi ecosystem:
