The Decision Is Now Live

Ethos
January 8, 2026

"The Decision" is now live. You have 21 days.

Your Two Options

🟢 Burn for NFT: 50% of your XP burned for an NFT, rewarded at the end of Season 2

-OR-

🔵 Stake in Validators: 50% of your XP staked in Validators, earning you (and them) more XP in Season 2

The Catch

Doing nothing results in a 20% reduction in your XP.

This is an active choice. Inaction has consequences.

Important Details

You can view the decision by going to your contribute page at ethos.network/contribute/the-decision.

Please note: the NFT is NOT a validator NFT—it will be different. The NFT will appropriately scale with the amount of XP burned. More XP burned means a more unique NFT.

Why This Matters

Season 2 is coming, and we're giving the community a meaningful choice about how to use their accumulated XP. Whether you want a collectible NFT or prefer to compound your XP through staking, the decision is yours.

But you must decide. The clock is ticking.
