Since April, more than 700,000 users have joined R2 Protocol’s testnet journey. Together, you’ve helped us validate vault mechanics, refine the user experience, and push the boundaries of what on-chain yield can be.
Now, as we prepare for the mainnet launch on September 26, it’s time to recognize and reward the community that made this possible.
Sept 23 (UTC+8): Check rewards allocation
Sept 26 3PM (UTC+8): Mainnet goes live with two vaults:
T-Bills Vault (~4% APY, backed by BlackRock / VanEck / Centrifuge)
Private Credit Vault (~9–10% APY, backed by Apollo / Mercado Bitcoin / Fasanara / Goldfinch)
At launch, the Private Credit Vault comes with a +22% Flash Boost, total yield up to ~32%.
Limited capacity. First come, first served.
Who qualifies?
Every wallet that participated in the testnet from April – August 2025.
How to check?
On September 23 (UTC+8), connect your wallet at R2.money → Go to Reward → Extra Rewards → Testnet Users to view your allocation.
Rewards are distributed proportionally based on each user’s share of testnet points.
Every testnet participant who interacted at least once will receive a guaranteed minimum of 100 R2 tokens.
To unlock rewards, users simply need to reach the basic points threshold on mainnet.
Example:
If a user qualifies for 100 R2 testnet reward, they only need to deposit 100 USDC for 60 days on mainnet to unlock it.
Combined with vault yields, this brings testnet participants an effective return of 50%+ APY.
Reach the basic points threshold on mainnet.
Rewards become claimable and will be distributed together with Season 1 yield after 90 days.
At the end of every 90-day season, R2 automatically runs a Jackpot lottery.
Testnet users who migrate to mainnet vaults qualify for the season 1 Jackpot.
Winners can claim their Jackpot prize directly from the Claim & Exit page.
The testnet was never just about “free tokens.” It was about:
Stress-testing yield strategies with a global user base
Proving R2’s transparent, composable design
Building confidence in DeFi-native real yield
By participating, you’ve become the early pioneers of institutional-grade DeFi yields.
Our roadmap is clear, and we’ve already laid strong foundations.
As we continue to scale, we will reach even greater heights. Only through collective effort can R2 become stronger, and early users will be the ones to reap the greatest rewards.
Our mission is clear:
To bring institutional-grade yields to everyone.
The era of real yield starts now.
See you on mainnet, Sept 26th, 3PM (UTC+8).
R2
