# OIP#7 Staking Rewards Extension & Transition Toward Programmatic Revenue Sharing # **Summary** This proposal seeks community approval to **launch a new staking rewards phase**, following the conclusion of the first one ([OIP-1](https://community.obol.org/t/oip-1-building-and-enabling-staking-for-the-obol-token/312/1)). The updated schedule introduces **two months of streamed rewards (until mid-January 2026)** at a rate of **137,500 OBOL per month**. The purpose of this second phase is to **ensure continuity** while preparing to transition from pre-allocated rewards to a programmatic **revenue-sharing model for the OBOL token**. As Obol’s network and Total Value Staked (TVS) continue to grow rapidly, this next phase will align stOBOL yield with **real network activity and value creation. Stakers will get direct exposure to the fees generated by the protocol.** # **Context** Since Q2, **total value secured by Distributed Validators using Obol has grown from ~1.2 B USD to more than 3.2 B USD**, marking a major step forward for the protocol. More info on the state of our Ecosystem in our recent [Ecosystem Report.](https://blog.obol.org/obol-q3-ecosystem-report/) As this growth compounds, we believe it’s time to begin **reinjecting a portion of this economic activity back into the OBOL token economy**. The current staking rewards bucket, approved under **OIP-1**, will end on **November 16, 2025**. Without renewal, staking rewards would stop streaming, interrupting stOBOL yield and breaking the continuity of the staking program just as the network enters its next stage of adoption. We believe the continuity is important to keep the amount of OBOL staked increasing and allowing programmatic revenue sharing with the maximum number of ecosystem members. # **Proposal** We are proposing to: * **Introduce a new phase of staking rewards** for two months (Nov 16 → Jan 17 approx.) * Stream rewards at a rate of **137,500 OBOL per month (half the OIP#1 rate)** * Use this period as a **bridge** toward the introduction of programmatic **revenue-sharing mechanisms** for stOBOL holders ***This second phase ensures staking remains active and uninterrupted while Obol finalize the design of sustainable, yield-backed accrual systems.*** ## **Transition to Programmatic Revenue Accrual** Obol is preparing to evolve from **pre-allocated reward distributions** to **revenue-driven token economics**, where staking yield reflects **protocol usage and validator activity** rather than scheduled reward streams. This transition begins now. The staking program acts as a bridge toward future revenue-sharing mechanisms that will align stOBOL returns with real network performance. We plan to present detailed revenue-sharing models for feedback **in the next few months**, ensuring technical soundness, and alignment with the upcoming regulation changes in the US. ***In this model, staking OBOL represents securing yield from real Ethereum validation revenue.*** ## **Why Now** * **Network maturity:** Obol’s validator ecosystem is scaling fast; maintaining staking continuity sustains confidence in the token’s role and amount of staked OBOL. * **Pendle integration:** The recent launch of the stOBOL market on Pendle has introduced on-chain yield composability. Maintaining staking rewards during this early phase supports market stability and liquidity. * **Narrative alignment:** The broader market is rewarding protocols that connect token yield to real network activity; this proposal positions OBOL on that trajectory responsibly. ***This proposal is also an opportunity to signal Obol’s intent to move toward sustainable, value-accruing token mechanics. As we finalize the technical and legal parameters for programmatic revenue sharing, this next phase keeps incentives aligned with network growth and the collective’s long-term vision.*** ## **Implementation & Authority** If approved: * Rewards continue automatically at the new rate from **November 16**. * The **Obol Association** may, if necessary, **extend the same stream for up to six months total** if revenue-sharing mechanisms are not yet live. * Any such extension will be transparently communicated to the Collective in advance. ## **Next Steps & Timeline** * **Discussion:** Oct 23 → Oct 30 * Adjustments based on feedback: Nov 1 → Nov 5 * **Target vote date:** Nov 6 (on-chain via Tally) * **New reward stream start:** Nov 16

We are voting in favor of this proposal, consistent with the rationale provided in our Snapshot vote. We view it as a capital-efficient strategy to accelerate Unichain’s growth, making smart use of the Sky ecosystem’s existing sUSDS yield. Importantly, linking most of the budget to performance-based TVL targets ensures DAO spending is aligned with measurable outcomes. At this stage, the strategic opportunity to grow Unichain is clear and compelling, and we support moving this initiative forward.
