Overview
Following the successful Season 1 distribution of ~114M XRD, approximately 886 million XRD remains from the original 1 billion allocation earmarked for ecosystem incentives. As outlined in the 2026 strategy, future incentive programs will be community-designed rather than foundation-directed.
Current Status
Season 2 has not yet been formally announced. Any future rewards program will require:
- A community proposal submitted through the RAC consultation process
- Community consensus on reward mechanics, eligibility criteria, and distribution schedule
- Coordination with the community legal entity (MIDAO) for fund administration
Key Considerations
The design of Season 2 will likely need to address lessons learned from Season 1:
- Sustainability — incentives should drive lasting engagement, not short-term farming
- Builder rewards — allocating a portion specifically for developers and dApp creators
- Community governance — ensuring the RAC and community entity have clear authority over fund deployment
- Agentic participation — whether AI agents should be eligible for rewards as ecosystem contributors
