At DataHive AI, we’re building a decentralized network that collects high-quality, real-world data to train the next generation of AI models. Our mission has always been to reward our community for contributing to this important work whether through our browser extension, mobile app, or now, directly through SOL staking.
Today, we’re excited to share everything you need to know about staking SOL with DataHive AI. By delegating your SOL to our validator, you earn standard Solana staking rewards and Data Points that will contribute to our upcoming $DATA token airdrop. It’s a simple, powerful way to earn while supporting decentralized AI infrastructure.
Why Stake SOL with DataHive AI?
When you stake with us, you get the best of both worlds:
- Reliable SOL Staking Rewards
- $DATA Points for the Airdrop – Every epoch, you accumulate points based on your staked amount. These points directly contribute to your allocation in our future $DATA token airdrop.
- Ecosystem Boost – Staking unlocks a higher multiplier on your Hive points for platform activity. It also allows you to connect more devices to maximize your overall point farming across the DataHive AI network.
- Support the Mission – Your stake supports the growth and maintenance of the Solana network, and also contributes to the development of ethical data collection for AI.
We designed this system so that whether you stake a small amount or a larger position, you can meaningfully participate in both yield generation and our points program.
How $DATA Points Are Calculated
Points are awarded per Solana epoch (roughly every 2 days) and scale with the amount of SOL you stake. We use a straightforward formula:
y = kx + b
Where:
- y = $DATA Points per epoch
- x = amount of SOL staked
- k and b = coefficients
Important note: The coefficients k and b may be adjusted over time as we optimize the program based on network conditions and community feedback. The rates below reflect current parameters.
Here’s what you can expect at different stake levels (yearly estimates based on ~182 epochs per year):
| SOL Staked | Points per Epoch | Estimated Yearly Points | Multiplier | Worker Limit |
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 |
| 0,5 | 100 | 18,200 | 1.0594604 | 5 |
| 1 | 121 | 22,022 | 1.1 | 7 |
| 3 | 207 | 37,358 | 1.1681793 | 10 |
| 5 | 289 | 52,598 | 1.2279507 | 15 |
| 10 | 500 | 91,000 | 1.3343702 | 15 |
| 25 | 1,132 | 206,024 | 1.5623413 | 15 |
| 50 | 2,184 | 397,488 | 2.118034 | 15 |
| 100 | 4,289 | 780,598 | 4.162278 | 15 |
| 1,000 | 42,184 | 7,677,488 | 18.78279 | 15 |
These points add to those you earn from running our extension and app, creating a powerful synergy for active community members.
