The ‘Popcorn Effect’ is starting to materialize. Seasons’ node count is growing organically, and people are joining from outside the team’s networks and our core community. On that note, welcome to another round of exciting updates.

• Rounds #15 and #16 of yield distribution completed.

• $70,409+ paid in yield so far, across 267 nodes.

• 3,666+ total holders, up over 20% from 3,054+ last week.

• $SEAS transactions crossed the 20,000 mark, up over 33% since last week, coupled with rising holder and node counts.

• Seasons is now approaching deep-green security territory on QuillCheck with a score of 76.67%, up over 16% since the previous update. The only other action we can take on our part to improve this score is to remove the ‘Transfer Fee’ modification function. But we have intentionally decided against that, keeping the option open for a future change by the DAO through community governance.

• The token lock-up for $SEAS has been further increased from 33% to 48% on Fluxbeam, and some of these have a duration of 2+ years to ensure long-term alignment.

• GeckoTerminal has now verified $SEAS, offering us the purple badge on their platform.

• Crypto.com, Bitget, Live Coin Watch, and various other platforms are now tracking $SEAS, following our

We published our first (of many) research report this week, State of Yield 2026 (SOY’26), diving deep into how global yields have been compressed across TradFi and DeFi over the past four decades, what caused it, how it created an exodus to complexity, and how we’re building Yield 3.0 to break this cycle.

Here’s a high-level overview of our findings and thesis:

• Traditional yield compressed +93% over four decades. $150,000 in Treasury bonds generated $22,500 annually in 1982 vs. $1,500 in 2020. The current “normalized” rates of 4–5% remain well below pre-2008 levels when adjusted for inflation.

• DeFi promised a respite, but within two years, it replicated TradFi’s failure as emission-dependent protocols collapsed during bear markets. APYs compressed over 83% across the ecosystem as the 2020 DeFi Summer faded.

• Both systems share the same fundamental flaws, deriving yield primarily from inflation or speculation and subjecting global yield-seekers to five key pain points: chronic compression, emission decay, forced complexity, impermanent loss, and protocol risks.

• 2026 marks the inflection point for a new approach, i.e., Yield 3.0, where sustainable, fee-based models generate yield from genuine economic activity and can work in any market condition.

• Seasons is pioneering this paradigm through its 100% fee-based tokenized yield mechanism, with zero emission decay and an accessible hold-to-earn framework that delivers simple, sustainable yield at scale.

Check out the full report for a comprehensive understanding of the past, present, and future of global yields. It’s important because if you don’t understand yield, you don’t understand money, and you become collateral damage to price actions and policies that you can’t control.

• Euro-based liquidity pool to make $SEAS more resilient by reducing the dependence on assets denominated in USD (USDC or USDT, for instance), while improving accessibility for traders who use (or prefer) the euro.

• Our first Galxe campaign starts on Monday. More details on this soon.

Besides these, we are also exploring ways to increase the yield payout modality so that every distribution round is more exciting for node holders.

That’s all for this week. Join us for more exciting updates next week.

Seize the moment. $SEAS the yield.
