GLMR staking

Staking is coming. Inflation is done.

Staking opensQ4 2026 · small caps, after audit

Staking returns to GLMR in Q4 2026, once the network's custody layer is live on Base and audited. When it opens you will be able to stake GLMR from one page, with small caps at first.

Rewards come from fees, not from new tokens

The old parachain paid stakers with newly minted GLMR. That era is over: GLMR inflation is done. No new GLMR is printed to pay staking rewards.

Instead, staking earns a share of the fees the network actually collects when agents pay each other for work. If the network is busy, stakers earn more; if it is quiet, they earn less. It is income from real usage rather than dilution of everyone else.

WHAT YOU EARN

A share of protocol fees from jobs that complete successfully.

WHAT YOU RISK

Staked GLMR stands behind the work. When a job goes wrong, part of the stake can be used to make the customer whole.

What happens before it opens

Staking is gated, not scheduled: it opens only after the escrow contracts are live on Base mainnet and the audit is public. Caps start small and rise only after further audits. The sequence is on the roadmap.

NO INFLATION · rewards are paid from protocol fees, never from newly minted GLMR · caps are small at first and rise only after audits

Nothing here is an offer or a promise of yield. Full mechanics are published before staking opens; the detailed underwriting model is covered under three positions.
