RIVER staking is the entry point to governance. Users can lock RIVER for 3, 6, 9, or 12 months, receiving fixed multipliers of 1×, 2×, 4×, and 8× respectively. Once staked, RIVER is converted into Staked RIVER, and voting power is calculated as the amount staked multiplied by the selected duration multiplier. Voting Power applies immediately, remains active for the full lock period. Stakers can create multiple independent positions, each with its own amount, multiplier, and unlock date. Longer lockups amplify governance influence. Through this ve-lock inspired model, RIVER holders vote on key protocol parameters including Omni-CDP collateral types and risk settings, Smart Vault and Prime Vault Staking Factors, satUSD incentive emissions, chain expansion, treasury usage, and ecosystem grants.
Dynamic Airdrop Conversion
3 seasons
Season 1 and 2 (Pre-TGE)
Season 3 (Post-TGE)
Season 4 (Post-TGE)
The Dynamic Airdrop Conversion introduces a time-encoded mechanism that distributes the airdrop over a defined period. River Pts are earned by eligible wallets during the airdrop and function as standard tokens, fully transferable and tradable. They are convertible into RIVER on BNB Chain through a continuously increasing, time-coded rate over a 180-day conversion window. Holders may convert at any time, in one or multiple transactions, with the conversion rate increasing over time, as detailed in the conversion schedule.
| Day | Conversion rate | RIVER Token | vs Day1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | 0 | 0 | 0x |
| Day 1 | 0.000111 | 111 | 1x |
| Day 14 | 0.0015556 | 1,555 | 14x |
| Day 21 | 0.0023333 | 2,333 | 21x |
| Day 28 | 0.0031111 | 3,111 | 28x |
| Day 90 | 0.01 | 10,000 | 90x |
| Day 120 | 0.0166667 | 16,666 | 150x |

A total of 1 billion River Pts corresponds to up to 30 million RIVER. This 30% of initial total supply functions as a flexible cap rather than a fixed release. Indeed, if all conversions occur at the end of the 180-day window, the full 30 million RIVER is distributed, while earlier conversions release proportionally fewer tokens, leaving the remainder in the Community Reserve allocation. As a result, early participants who exit quickly receive less, while long-term holders can capture significantly greater upside.
After Season 1 under the Satoshi protocol and the transition to River with Season 2, participation has been evaluated across capital deployment, protocol usage, and community contribution. In Season 2, launched on May 15, 2025, users earn River Pts by minting satUSD through asset deposits such as BTC or BNB, swapping stablecoins into satUSD, staking to generate yield, providing liquidity on decentralized exchanges, and using satUSD across lending, DEX, and staking integrations, while social engagement through River4FUN also contributes to point accumulation.
Season 3 extends this model beyond TGE by encouraging deeper capital commitment and sustained engagement, introducing liquidity provision, vault staking, Yield Token holding, multipliers ranging from 2× to 50×, weekly snapshot tracking, daily point updates, and River Pts staking through the Gold Staking Pool to compound participation.
Season 4 consolidates incentives around 3 pillars: satUSD as the core Omni-CDP asset with multipliers up to 25× across liquidity and DeFi integrations, RIVER staking as the primary long-term alignment mechanism with a 3 month reward claim window to encourage active participation, and the continuation of River4FUN as a social layer where community interaction, campaigns, and events translate into measurable on-chain value.
