Shards are off-chain loyalty points tracked through a seasonal rewards system
Staking V3 is Illuvium’s upgraded staking system on Base, offering dual rewards through Revenue Distribution and Shards.
You earn two types of rewards:
- Revenue Distribution: real yield from protocol revenue.
- Shards: off-chain loyalty points used for seasonal leaderboards and seasonal reward distribution.
