Graphite Network’s Market Staking Program Goes Live, Offering an Alternative to Staking with Rewards for Active Traders

Graphite Network has recently launched its Market Staking Program, designed to reward active traders based on their trading volume, rather than the tokens they hold or stake. This initiative, which will run until December 21, 2026, aligns with Graphite Network’s emphasis on trust and user reputation. This approach ensures a safer, more reliable environment for on-chain interactions.

Instead of the traditional staking methods, the program calculates rewards weekly based on a user’s share of total trading volume across decentralized exchange (DEX) pools. Users will receive rewards in @G, the network’s utility coin, which also powers transaction fees and unlocks various blockchain features. The reward pool for the program totals 50,000 @G weekly and is split across four supported blockchains: Polygon, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Binance Smart Chain.

Graphite Network’s unique approach allows for fair competition, with each blockchain having its own prize pool and trading thresholds. Rewards are given to the top 10% of traders within each network if the total weekly trading volume reaches a certain threshold. Additionally, there will be weekly eligibility stats and prize updates available through Graphite’s official channels and live leaderboards on its website.

In terms of the network’s technical structure, Graphite operates on a custom-built Polymer 2.0 Proof-of-Authority consensus mechanism capable of handling up to 1,400 transactions per second. This high throughput is essential for facilitating high-frequency trading and supporting enterprise-grade applications. Furthermore, the network integrates a Trust Score system to rate user credibility based on behaviors like KYC status and account activity.

To protect user privacy, Graphite uses Zero-Knowledge Proof for KYC verification, ensuring that personal details are not exposed while confirming identities. Additionally, reputation-based smart contracts are being introduced to enforce transaction conditions based on a user’s trust level.

Looking ahead, Graphite Network plans to expand its offerings by listing @G on centralized exchanges, launching Layer 2 applications, and continuing to enhance the user experience with new features such as instant exchange options and improved security. These developments are part of a broader strategy to scale blockchain adoption and introduce real-world utility to its growing ecosystem.
