Jade Rewards Guide

What Is Jade?​

During the Previewnet and Testnet phases, Jade serves as your primary reward currency, redeemable for ARO Network’s native token ($ARO) during future drops. Think of Jade as points you earn based on your contributions.

Jade in Locked Status​

Locked Jade (also referred to as "Jade in Lock") represents Jade rewards that are currently in locked status. You may earn locked Jade through specific community campaigns or by completing designated tasks.

The amount of locked Jade will be displayed in the Jade Rewards Breakdown Chart.

In the Testnet stage, locked Jade can be unlocked based on your performance in operating ARO nodes:

  • Unlock 450 Jade by running an ARO Pod or ARO Link for one day (with at least 8 hours of uptime).
  • Unlock 150 Jade by running an ARO Client for one day (with at least 8 hours of uptime).
  • Unlock 50 Jade by running an ARO Lite for one day (with at least 8 hours of uptime).

Special Notes on the Unlocking Rules:

  • Running multiple nodes can accelerate the unlocking process.
  • Any Jade remaining in locked status will expire (you lose them!) when the Testnet concludes.
  • If you earn locked Jade as a Referral Bonus, it will be and be unlocked in sync with your referees' unlocking progress. In other words, when your referees unlock their Jade, your corresponding Referral Bonus will also be unlocked.

FAQ​

  • Can I transfer Jade?
    No, Jade is not a token and CANNOT be transferred at this stage.
  • How much ARO token is reserved for the redemption with Jade?
    Up to 5% of the total ARO token supply will be specifically reserved for community incentives, which will be dropped to the ARO Community in the future. Both Jade and Badge will be key metrics in determining your final rewards.
