Chainlink to Start New Community Rewards Program for LINK Stakers

Chainlink’s latest play? Paying users to lock up their LINK tokens—just what crypto needed: another staking scheme dressed as ’community rewards.’

The oracle network announced its new program today, dangling unspecified rewards for those willing to stake LINK. No details on APY, lockup periods, or whether the payouts will outperform inflation (spoiler: they won’t).

Active verbs only? Check. Chainlink isn’t ’enabling’ staking—it’s strong-arming hodlers into deeper illiquidity while Wall Street’s quant bots bypass oracle feeds entirely.

Closing thought: If you believe ’decentralized’ rewards can fix centralized finance’s problems, we’ve got a Terra Luna revival to sell you.
