$ADX Staking Migration Is Open
The $ADX staking migration is now open. Existing stakers can move their $ADX-STAKING position to $stkADX, keep full value during the grace period, and unlock the new staking model.
After a new staking mechanism was approved earlier this year, the next stage of the $ADX staking migration started.
This update gives stakers who migrate free access to heyAura, adds revenue sharing, and gives the new staking token governance rights. The goal is to make $ADX staking simpler and unified into a single token, and make it a centerpiece of the new heyAura tokenomics.
Why is the migration happening
The old pool was built for an earlier version of the ecosystem. The new staking mechanism aims to reflect heyAura as it exists now. This next-generation staking system is designed to unify the entire $ADX ecosystem under one single staking pool, consolidating all protocol revenue and reward distribution. With the Web3 AI assistant now live, we want to provide stakers with a broader token utility and a revenue model tied to product usage. Instead of sitting next to the product, it now becomes part of how users access it, participate in governance, and share in ecosystem growth.
What the new model improves
The new staking model gives stakers direct product value from the start.
New staking tokens give free access to heyAura, while old staking positions will keep access only for a limited period. New stakers will also participate in revenue sharing, and the new token carries governance rights.
The migration timeline
The migration includes a grace period followed by a penalty window.
Until Friday, July 10th, 2026, at 2:52:35 PM UTC, migration happens with no penalty. During that period, users migrate at 100% token value.
From Friday, July 10th, 2026, at 2:52:35 PM UTC until Thursday, October 8th, 2026, at 2:52:35 PM UTC, a migration penalty begins to apply. It increases daily and reaches a maximum of 20% by the end of the window.
That gives stakers 28 days from the announcement until the grace period ends, followed by a 90-day penalty phase.
The practical message is simple: migrate during the grace period and keep full value. After that, the delay becomes more costly over time.
Where staking revenue comes from
The broader direction behind the pool remains the same.
The new model is still meant to sit on top of product revenue. That includes security and discovery deposits, recommendation boosting, and premium product features. As heyAura grows, staking will reflect more of that activity directly.
How to migrate
The migration process is meant to be straightforward.
You can migrate to the new pool directly from heyAura with a prompt similar to this one: “Migrate my existing adx-staking position into stkADX.”
heyAura will handle everything, and all you have to do is approve the transactions.
Or you can do it manually, following the steps below:
- Go to https://app.heyaura.com/staking/migrate or open the staking section and click on Migrate
- There, you can see the amount of staked tokens available for migration.
- Click on “Migrate all” and approve the transaction
Once the transaction is confirmed, your position will appear in the new staking system.
