After 18 months since our Token Generation Event (TGE), the OORT ecosystem has grown significantly—with strong token liquidity and a more diverse, decentralized staking infrastructure.

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance tokenomics and align staking with real ecosystem utility, we are officially winding down the OORT Earn staking platform, effective immediately.

What’s Changing

• Effective Now: The deposit function on the OORT Earn platform frontend will be disabled. Any new deposits made directly to the OORT Earn smart contract will not accrue interest.
• Withdrawals Open: Users can now withdraw all staked OORT tokens and accumulated rewards from the platform until Sep 30, 2025. Stakers will continue to receive interest rewards until this date.
• Final Wind-Down: Full platform closure scheduled for Dec 31, 2025. Stakers must withdraw all tokens before this date. After that, the platform will be fully shut down.

New Opportunities to Stake & Contribute

We’re introducing a range of ecosystem-integrated staking options that not only provide rewards, but also contribute directly to OORT’s long-term growth and decentralization:

1. OORT DataHub High-Tier Staking

Stake directly in OORT DataHub and level up to access exclusive benefits, premium tasks, and enhanced reward multipliers while contributing to our AI data collection network.

2. DEX Liquidity Provision

Provide liquidity to OORT trading pairs on decentralized exchanges and earn trading fees while supporting token liquidity.

3. Mainnet Witness Participation

Become a validator witness on the Olympus Protocol mainnet, contributing to network security while earning validation rewards.

4. Deimos II Mining Bonding Pool (Coming Soon in Q3, 2025)

Participate in our upcoming bonding pool for Deimos II mining operations, enabling community members to stake tokens and earn mining rewards without running hardware.

How Does This Benefit The OORT Token Holders?

• Greater Utility: Staking now directly supports core OORT network functions
• Diversified Rewards: Multiple ways to earn—from data contribution to liquidity and validation
• Aligned Growth: Reward structures are tied to real activity and long-term ecosystem health

Next Steps for OORT Earn Users
