Chainlink is stepping up its game with the launch of a new community rewards initiative—Chainlink Rewards—aimed at boosting participation across its ecosystem. The first wave of this program kicks off with a generous token distribution from Space and Time (SXT) $, a decentralized data network that’s been gaining serious traction.

Space and Time is putting 4% of its total SXT token supply (that’s 200 million tokens) into the hands of Chainlink contributors. If you’re a historical or active LINK staker, you might be eligible to claim part of the first batch of 100 million SXT, starting May 8. The claim window will stay open for 90 days, so don’t sleep on it.

What makes this interesting is that it’s not just about the tokens—it’s about fostering deeper engagement within the Chainlink ecosystem. This move is clearly designed to reward those of us helping to secure the network and to incentivize more users to get involved, especially through staking LINK.

Space and Time, founded in 2022, uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) to verify database queries and deliver tamper-proof data directly to smart contracts—so it’s not just another token project. They're aiming to bridge real-world data and blockchain applications in a very trust-minimized way.

This is just the beginning for Chainlink Rewards. More partner projects are expected to join in upcoming “seasons,” with future airdrops and campaigns to reward network participation. No word yet on which projects are next or what the reward schedule will look like—but this kind of initiative could become a key driver for long-term growth and user retention in the Chainlink ecosystem.

I’ll be watching closely to see how this develops. If you're staking LINK, this might be your chance to grab some extra rewards while contributing to a project with serious momentum. #BitcoinReserveDeadline #BinanceLaunchpoolSXT $BTC
