Token & Staking
MYRAD adds an on-chain rewards layer on top of the platform's points loop. It is built around the MYRAD token on Base, and it lets contributors put their participation to work through staking, shared prize pools, and dataset evaluation.
This page describes what the token layer does at a product level. On-chain details and live parameters are always shown in-product, on the relevant screens.
The MYRAD Token
MYRAD is an on-chain token deployed on Base. It anchors the rewards layer of the platform and gives contributors a way to participate in the value they help create. Verified contributions can be anchored on-chain, making participation publicly verifiable while keeping every individual's raw data private.
Staking in Epochs
Contributors can stake MYRAD into time-boxed epochs. Each epoch is a defined window during which staked participants are eligible for rewards from a shared prize pool.
| Concept | What it means |
|---|---|
| Epoch | A fixed time window you stake into |
| Prize pool | A shared reward pool for that epoch's participants |
| Proportional rewards | Rewards are distributed proportionally among participants |
| Payout | Rewards can be paid in MYRAD or USDC |
Because rewards are shared across an epoch's participants and distributed proportionally, staking aligns everyone toward the same outcome: a healthy, active, verified data pool.
Dataset Evaluation
Epochs also connect contributors to the datasets they help build. Eligible participants can review the datasets tied to an epoch, earn evaluation points for their contribution to quality, and claim their rewards.
This creates a feedback loop: the people who contribute data also help validate it, which keeps MYRAD's signals high-quality and trustworthy.
Publicly Verifiable, Privately Sourced
The on-chain layer makes MYRAD's core promise concrete: contributions are provable in public and private by design at the same time.
- Participation and rewards are anchored on-chain for transparency
- The underlying activity is verified with zero-knowledge proofs, so raw data is never exposed
- Payouts settle on Base, in MYRAD or USDC

Interacting with the token layer uses your wallet only to prove ownership and receive rewards. See Points & Rewards for the on-platform earning loop that feeds into it.
