Following on from our [first teaser of the G(R)AIN programme,](https://paragraph.com/@demether/incentivising-participation-with-grain) we‘re thrilled to announce its inaugural launch on **Taiko**, alongside their **Trailblazer campaign**!

With this launch, activities will be **double or even triple incentivized**, rewarding users with:

✅ **$GRAIN** on-chain tokens  
✅ **Taiko campaign points  
**✅ **Partner points & tokens** from across the Taiko ecosystem.

🌟 **Why Taiko?**
-----------------

The launch of **G(R)AIN on Taiko** is more than just another incentive program — it’s a **strategic move** to reward engagement and long-term participation in the Demether ecosystem. By integrating with **Taiko’s Trailblazer campaign**, we’re amplifying incentives and aligning with a vibrant, fast-growing blockchain network.

For participants, this means **higher rewards** and **multiple ways to maximize yield**, whether you’re a DeFi power user or just starting out.

🛠 **How to Participate?**
--------------------------

Engaging with the G(R)AIN programme is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to start earning:

1) [**Mint**](https://app.demether.io/) **$demSOL or $demETH on Taiko Chain from Arbitrum or Ethereum mainnet**🎥 Watch the video \[[here](https://gyazo.com/9eda45ade141d44e2d528f11714e3a63)\] for details on how to mint2) **Hold for a minimum of 7 days

📢 **Real-World Example: How a User Benefits**
----------------------------------------------

Let’s take an example of how a user can **maximize** their earnings with G(R)AIN:

*   **Day 1:** Nicky mints **$demSOL on Taiko**
    
*   **Day 7:** Nicky has now held her $demSOL for one week and can **claim $GRAIN rewards**!
    
*   **Day 10:** Nicky deposits her $demSOL into a [pool on iZumi](https://izumi.finance/trade/pool?chain_id=167000&pool_address=0x4e65b007b07b864a656c01ccf8097d29eba84af2), qualifying to stack **incentives**.
    
*   **Ongoing:** Nicky continues to stake and earn **more rewards over time**, compounding her yield.
