Chainlink officially has his new one Token distribution program “Chainlink Rewards: Season Genesis” to reward long-term standers. As CNF reported, the initiative began on May 8, 2025 and offers the participants access to 100 million SXT-TOKEN, which are provided in cooperation with the decentralized data platform Space and Time.
Obitious link owners must have made an assignment before March 31, 2025 to qualify for the rewards. By May 26, 47% of the legitimate stakers claimed their share, which corresponds to 60% of the available SXT.
As reported by CNF, Chainlink presented his incentive initiative Chainlink Rewards at the beginning of May to deepen the commitment in the community. In the first phase of the program, “Season Genesis”, 100 million SXT-TOKEN of the 200 million Space and Time will award to Link-Stakers, which meet certain criteria.

Space and Time, a Chainlink Build participant, has provided 4% of its total SXT offer to support this cooperation. The first 2 % are now available, while the remaining 2 % are distributed in future seasons. The claim window for Season Genesis remains open until August 6, 2025, so that the participants have 90 days from the start to secure their rewards.
The program evaluates both the amount of the link use and the duration of the use and rewards users who have supported the Chainlink network in the long term. According to Chainlink’s Post on X, 44% of SXT-Stakers have successfully received tokens during the first round of reward.
Stakers must have completed their link tokens before March 31st to qualify for the airdrop. This criterion ensures that active and constant contributors are preferred. The reward mechanism uses a dual metric, which takes into account both the volume of the link used and the duration of the holding.
According to the official announcement This model appreciates loyal participants, including both large and small stakers. Token that are not claimed in this round will continue in future activations, as is planned as part of the wider Chainlink Rewards Initiative.This approach strengthens transparency and fairness in the distribution and at the same time promotes continuous participation in the ecosystem. The application portal for the current cycle is under rewards.chain.link to find.
In a recent update, we reported how the program fits into the broader strategy of Chainlink to create incentives for contributions from knot operators and community members. The initiative also serves as a token sales model for build projects such as Space and Time to connect to the active user base of Chainlink.
Chainlink Rewards is building on the basis of the Chainlink Build program, which supports both new and existing web3 projects. The program helps the participants to grow within the Chainlink ecosystem by giving them priority access to oracle services and marketing support. In return, the projects release part of their native tokens to the Chainlink Community.
Such a participant is Space and Time, a decentralized data platform that uses zero-knowledge-proofs for safe analyzes. They joined Chainlink Build in 2024 and have since integrated Chainlink Functions to improve data processing on the chain. Their participation in Season Genesis shows how Build projects can work directly with the Chainlink Community through token-based incentives.
As reported by CNF, the reach of Chainlink with integrations such as Kamino Finance, which CHAINLINK Data Streams now uses, and Interactive Brokers, which has added the link to his manageable assets, has expanded. This shows that Chainlink develops from a pure oracle service to a wider platform for the growth of the ecosystem.
Chainlink describes Season Genesis as a pilot project that will help to design future versions of the Rewards program. Future cycles will include more advanced claiming systems and more build projects. On April 14, Chainlink also announced that the Smartcon 2025 will take place in New York City on November 4 and 5, with speakers from the areas of government, finance and web3.
As for the market development, Link is currently trading at $ 14.99 after it had briefly deviated from its recent highs over $ 16.00. The course has increased by 4.27% in the last 24 hours, with a 24-hour trading volume of $ 313.7 million. According to our data, Link #13 with a market capitalization of around $ 10.46 billion is.
Analysts observe the level of $ 14.60 as a support zone. If the buying pressure returns, Link could test the resistance at 17.20, 19.50 and $ 22. A breakthrough over these levels could signal a new upward trend until June.
