According to official news, cross-chain protocol Wormhole announced that its W Staking Reward Program (SRP) is officially launched.
Users can now stake W on Solana and EVM chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism and Base. Reward Period #1 is now open, dating back to June 6, 2024, when W staking starts on the EVM chain, and will provide a reward pool of at least 50,000,000 W. The program runs through the newly launched W Dashboard, where users can manage staking, view detailed metrics and track rewards.
After the initial reward period, the program will transition to a regular reward period. Of the initial 1.7 billion W (17% of the supply), approximately 858,000,000 W are currently reserved for the community. The W Staking Reward Program is designed to be an ongoing program to encourage continued participation within the Wormhole ecosystem. Over time, new features and utilities will deepen the value of participation.
Wormhole said it plans to launch the multi-chain governance system MultiGov in the first quarter of 2025, marking the beginning of Wormhole DAO, where users can delegate, propose and vote on Solana and EVM chains.
