Raiku AMA Recap: Mainnet Staking & Roles
Summary
Raiku announces a Chinese AMA recap covering Mainnet slated for Q4, current SOL staking (native and rkuSOL liquid staking), and the real-time points system (1 SOL = 1 point per day). The post explains no lock-up for liquid staking, role tiers at 3/10/100 rkuSOL, and that roles are removed on unstake while points remain.
Chinese AMA Recap (Q&A)
Q1: When will Raiku Mainnet launch?
According to the roadmap, the Raiku Mainnet is expected to launch in Q4.
Q2: What assets can currently be staked?
At the moment, only SOL (Solana) is supported.
Users can participate through both Native Staking and Liquid Staking (rkuSOL).
Q3: Is there a lock-up period?
No. Users can unstake at any time, but there are differences between the two staking methods:
- Native Staking: Unstaking may require waiting for Solana’s undelegation period (typically around 2–3 days).
- Liquid Staking: By holding rkuSOL, users maintain greater liquidity and can freely enter or exit their position at any time.
Q4: How are points calculated?
Points are accumulated in real time based on the amount staked and the duration of the stake.
Current base rule:
1 SOL = 1 point per day
Note: There are currently no multipliers or bonuses for consecutive staking days. Points are calculated solely based on the amount staked.
Q5: Do longer staking periods receive bonus multipliers?
No.
Points are calculated only according to the amount staked.
Q6: What community roles correspond to different staking amounts?
Current community requirements:
* ≥ 3 rkuSOL — Access to selected gated community channels without additional verification.
* ≥ 10 rkuSOL — Receive the @rkuSOL Gold Role, unlocking premium community privileges.
* ≥ 100 rkuSOL — Receive the @rkuSOL Platinum Role, the highest-tier community status.
Q7: Will my role disappear if I unstake?
Yes.
For example, if you originally qualified for a role by staking 10 SOL and later fall below the required threshold, the role will be removed.
However, your accumulated points will remain intact.
Q8: Can my role be restored after staking again?
Yes.
Once you meet the staking requirement again:
- Your role will be restored.
- Previously earned points will remain.
- Point accumulation continues from where it left off.
Q9: Will points be eligible for future airdrops or rewards?
Points are currently used to track on-chain activity. No future rewards or incentive programs are planned or have been announced at this time.
Q10: Will I lose my points if I unstake?
No.
Example:
If you have accumulated 1,000 points and then unstake:
- Your existing 1,000 points remain.
- You stop earning new points while unstaked.
- If you stake again later, accumulation resumes from 1,001 points rather than resetting to zero.
Q11: Where do staking rewards come from?
Participating in Raiku staking is similar to participating in Solana staking, with rewards potentially coming from several sources:
- Solana native validator staking rewards (base APY)
- Capital efficiency benefits from liquid staking
- Future Raiku validator rewards
- Future network revenue generated by applications and ecosystem activity built on Raiku
Flywheel Effect:
More network usage → Higher network revenue → Better rewards → More staking participation → Further network growth
Q12: What are the benefits of holding a role?
Current known benefits include:
- Access to exclusive community groups
- Eligibility for private WeChat groups
- Special Discord roles and recognition
- Priority access to offline events
- Eligibility for future ecosystem campaigns and activities
Q13: How can I check my points and leaderboard ranking?
The community Discord bot provides the following commands:
/rkusol leaderboard — View the leaderboard
/rkusol card — View your points
