Reactive Staking: Season 9

Reactive Network

Sep 11, 2026 — 3 min read

Reactive Staking Season 8 closes at block 6,816,896 on Sunday, September 13th, and its one-month pool expires with it. Season 9 picks up on the very next block, so stakers can roll straight into the next round with no gap in between.

The new round keeps the shape recent seasons settled into: one pool, one month, one reward budget. In the background, the new Reactive consensus is in final testing ahead of the move to Reactive Omni. Once that lands, the staking structure may change with it.

Short version for newcomers: staking locks up REACT for a fixed period and pays you for helping secure the network. Each season is a fresh round with its own pools and reward budget.

Season 8 ran a single pool against a budget of 1,000,000 REACT. By the close, it held 108,308,917.99 REACT from 194 stakers, with APY settling at 11.88%.

Token Portal Guide

Stake

Open the Reactive Token Portal and connect your REACT wallet.
Make sure the // STAKE tab is selected.
Pick the 1-month pool, the only option in Season 9.
Enter the amount of REACT you want to stake.
Hit Stake and confirm in your wallet.
Watch the current block and reward block tick along if you want to track the countdown.
Distribution stats sit below: total staked, total reward, current APY, your stake, your rewards.

Disclaimer: Staking locks your funds until the Reward Distribution Block. Unstaking is unavailable until then, so stake only what you can leave alone for the full month.

Restake & Withdraw

Open the Reactive Token Portal and connect your REACT wallet.
Make sure the // WITHDRAW tab is selected.
Pick the season you took part in.
Choose the pool holding your tokens. Seasons before 4 ran 30-day, 60-day and 90-day pools; from Season 4 onward, pools are counted in months.
Pick the pool you want to restake into.
Hit Restake and confirm in your wallet.
The Withdraw All button takes everything back to your address.
Distribution stats sit below, same as on the stake tab.

Disclaimer: A withdrawal sends your staked tokens back to your address and can’t be cancelled or reversed. Rewards stop accruing the moment you withdraw.

Swap

Token Portal's bridge moves REACT freely between Reactive Network Mainnet, Ethereum Mainnet and Base.

Open the Reactive Token Portal and connect your REACT wallet.
Make sure the // SWAP tab is selected.
Choose the network you're sending from.
Choose the network you're sending to.
Enter the REACT amount.
Hit Swap and confirm the transaction (requires wallet confirmation).

Blocks to Watch

Season 8 closes at block 6,816,896 on Sunday, September 13th. Rewards aren't distributed automatically, so be sure to claim yours through the Reactive Token Portal.

Season 9 launches on the very next block, 6,816,897, with a fresh 1,000,000 REACT budget, and closes at block 7,196,129, on Wednesday, October 14th.

About Reactive Network

Reactive Network is an EVM automation layer built around reactive contracts, event-driven smart contracts for cross-chain execution. Reactive contracts subscribe to event logs across EVM chains and run Solidity logic automatically when a matching event fires, issuing cross-chain callback transactions once their conditions are met. The upcoming Omni fork moves the network to CometBFT consensus, bringing instant finality and roughly one-second blocks while keeping full EVM compatibility.

Intents, Solvers, and Borrowed Certainty

A wallet that wanted to support five bridges used to integrate five SDKs. Five fee oracles, five sets of error codes, five ideas about what "the transfer went through" means. Multiply that by every wallet and every app, and you get the state of cross-chain UX for most

Glamsterdam Gives Ethereum a Second Gas Meter

For as long as Ethereum has existed, sending ETH from one address to another has cost 21,000 gas. It is one of the very few numbers that survived every fork, every roadmap rewrite, and every philosophical argument the ecosystem has had since 2015. Wallets hardcode it. Fee estimators assume

Veritas: Keeping A Risk Score True As Copies Appear

Veritas was the sixth and last of the projects in our look at the UHI9 hookathon, and it puts a reactive contract to a use none of the others needed: keeping a stored number true after the thing it measures has quietly changed. The full project lives on GitHub, though

Reactive Staking: Season 8

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

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
