December 11th — Official sources confirm HashKey Chain’s new HSK staking program has officially launched. This round features higher returns, a more transparent mechanism, and a more sustainable ecosystem feedback system open to all token holders. Key incentives include a fixed interest rate, loyal user subsidies, and an innovative community incentive pool. Users can earn a 5% fixed annual return, with long-term holders eligible for an additional 1%-3% annual incentive — enhancing the overall on-chain participation experience. This staking program isn’t just a reward for long-term HSK holders and early participants; it’s a major step forward for HashKey Chain’s sustainable ecosystem growth. With more developers, high-quality projects, and institutional-grade assets expected to join the chain, this upgrade is viewed as a critical measure for the ecosystem’s long-term development.
