The ESP claim portal is reopening today, this time for boosted staking rewards.

If you claimed your ESP airdrop, staked your full allocation within 15 days of claiming, and kept at least 50% of it staked through the three-month mark, you’re eligible to claim a 256% boost on the staking rewards you’ve accrued since token launch.

Additionally, the Espresso Foundation is providing each eligible account with an additional bonus of 155 ESP tokens.

Visit the claim portal at claim.espresso.foundation to check your eligibility and claim your ESP.

When you staked your ESP, you weren't just earning the standard 3-4% annual reward rate—you were helping secure Espresso. Espresso's HotShot protocol runs on proof-of-stake consensus, and the validators with the most delegated stake make up the active set of nodes responsible for network security.

Staking long term is one of the strongest signals of support a holder can give, and boosted rewards are how we recognize it.

In addition to the boost unlocked after three months, additional boosts will unlock at the one- and two-year marks for those who continue to stake. The boosts unlock on the following schedule:

• 256% boost to staking rewards accrued since token launch, unlocked after three months of staking (open now)

• 359% boost to rewards accrued since the 3 month milestone, unlocked after 1 year

• 420% boost to rewards accrued since the 1 year milestone, unlocked after 2 years

Head to the rewards portal, connect the wallet you staked with, and claim your three-month boost (256% of the staking rewards you've accrued since staking your airdrop).

The claim window will stay open until one month after the third and final window opens (at the two-year mark), so there's plenty of time, but the sooner you claim, the sooner the rewards are in your wallet.

If you undelegated more than 50% of your stake before hitting a milestone, that milestone's boost is forfeited. If your validator went offline and you redelegated within 14 days, you're still eligible.

Only tokens claimed during the original airdrop and then staked qualify for boosts. Tokens purchased later or earned through staking (including boosted rewards themselves) don't.

Make sure you're visiting the official claim portal: claim.espresso.foundation. Never click claim links from DMs, emails, or unofficial sources, and remember the Espresso team will never DM you first or ask for your seed phrase.
