Reactive Staking: Season 8

Reactive Network

Aug 12, 2026 — 2 min read

Season 7 is wrapping up. Our 1-month staking pool expires at block 6,437,662 (Thursday, August 13th), and with it we're opening the door to Season 8.

Season 8 repeats Season 7 in structure: a single 1-month pool. We're finalizing the final matters of the Omni transition to Reactive mainnet, and once it’s live, we might revisit our staking structure, likely returning to the familiar three-pool setup with 1-, 2-, and 3-month options.

The short version for newcomers: staking lets you lock up REACT for a fixed period and earn rewards for helping secure the network. Each season is a fresh round with its own pools and reward budget.

How Season 7 Stacked Up

Season 7 ran a single pool with a reward budget of 1,000,000 REACT. By the close, it had drawn 192 stakers and 101,802,464.85 REACT staked, at an APY of 12.69%.

How to Join

If you staked in Season 7:

Open the Reactive Token Portal and confirm your REACT wallet is connected.
Select the pool you're currently in.
Hit Restake and confirm the transaction to roll into Season 8.

If you're new:

Open the Reactive Token Portal and connect your REACT wallet.
Select the 1-month pool (the only one this season).
Enter the amount of REACT you'd like to stake.
Hit Stake and confirm the transaction.

Once staked, your REACT stays locked for the full duration of the pool. Principal and rewards unlock only when the pool concludes.

Key Dates and Numbers

Season 7 closes at block 6,437,662 on Thursday, August 13th. Rewards aren't distributed automatically, so be sure to claim yours through the Reactive Token Portal.

Season 8 launches on the very next block, 6,437,663, with a fresh reward pool of 1,000,000 REACT, and closes at block 6,816,896, around 12 pm UTC on Sunday, September 13th.

The Omni transition is in its final stretch, with testing on track and the remaining work focused on polish. We’re not setting a firm date yet, but we’re close and will share timing as we get nearer.

About Reactive Network

Reactive Network is an EVM automation layer built around reactive contracts, event-driven smart contracts for cross-chain, on-chain automation. It runs on CometBFT consensus, providing instant finality and roughly 1-second block times while maintaining full EVM compatibility.

Reactive contracts subscribe to event logs across EVM chains and execute Solidity logic automatically when matching events occur, deciding autonomously when to send cross-chain callback transactions. This model supports conditional cross-chain state changes and continuous cross-chain workflows.

Maestro: Keeping A Pool's Liquidity At The Live Price

Maestro was the fifth of the six projects in our look at the UHI9 hookathon, and it points a reactive contract at something none of the others touched: the real market price, sitting on a different chain. The full project is open here. Maestro is a Uniswap v4 hook whose

Coinstancy x Reactive: Automating Portfolio Rebalancing On-Chain

Coinstancy has taken on a practical challenge with Reactive Network: how to keep a portfolio aligned with its intended allocation when market prices are constantly moving. Instead of relying on someone to continuously monitor positions and execute trades, the system responds automatically when a portfolio drifts too far from its

Lambda: Keeping A Hedge In Sync Across Chains

Lambda was the fourth of the six projects in our look at the UHI9 hookathon, and it puts a reactive contract to the use Reactive Network is most literally built for: turning an event on one chain into a transaction on another, with no server in between. The full project,

TrancheShield: Managing A Pool's Risk From Another Chain

TrancheShield was the third of the six projects in our look at the UHI9 hookathon, and it takes yet another angle on the same limit: a Uniswap hook only runs when someone trades, but a pool's risk does not sit still between trades. Here is how it deals

Unistrata: When Settlement Can’t Wait For The Next Trade

Unistrata was the second of the six projects in our look at the UHI9 hookathon, and it draws a different lesson from the same limit: a Uniswap hook only runs when someone trades, but some decisions can’t wait for the next trade. Here is how it handles that. The

EvenFlow: The Problem With Waiting For A Swap

EvenFlow was the first of the six projects in our look at the UHI9 hookathon, and the one we singled out as the clearest case of something a Uniswap hook simply can’t do on its own. Here is a closer look at how it gets around that. The full

Reactive Contracts & Uniswap Hooks: The First Wave from the UHI9 Hookathon

Plenty of teams came through the UHI9 hookathon, and a good share of them used Reactive Network. The judges did something more useful than count claims: they checked whether each project's reactive contract actually fired a callback on-chain. Six passed that test. This is a look at those

Reactive Staking: Season Seven

Season 6 is wrapping up. Our 1-month staking pool expires at block 6,055,034 (Monday, July 13th), and with it we're opening the door to Season 7. Season 7 repeats Season 6 in structure: a single 1-month pool. We're finalizing the last details of the
