Roman Tirone, Senior Manager at Chainlink Labs, recently revealed an interesting ecological initiative—Chainlink Rewards Season 1 has officially launched, designed specifically as an incentive mechanism for stakers and network participants.

What's the big deal? This time the玩法 is a bit different. Several DeFi protocols directly distribute their native tokens to $LINK holders, including Folks Finance, Dolomite, xSwap, and Brickken. It's equivalent to staking LINK while also receiving airdrops of these ecosystem projects' tokens.

This "ecological resonance" model is actually quite clever - it enhances the staking appeal for Chainlink and allows these DeFi projects to accurately reach LINK community users. It's a two-way flow, each getting what they need. Of course, the specific allocation rules and yield rates will depend on subsequent detail disclosures, but at least from a design logic perspective, it has more imaginative potential than simply staking mining.
