Playnance has launched GCOIN staking on its PlayW3 platform, with over 300M GCOIN already locked. Rewards are tied to ecosystem activity rather than fixed emissions, redistributing value generated by Playnance products to stakers.

Users can stake GCOIN starting at 1,000 tokens, with lock periods of up to 18 months. Rewards begin accumulating 24 hours after activation

The launch comes ahead of the GCOIN Token Generation Event on March 18. Ecosystem allocations flow into the Treasury Pool, distributing rewards to staking pools across social gaming, prediction markets, and trading platforms.

Allocation weight by lock duration:

– 6 months → 10%

– 9 months → 20%

– 12 months → 30%

– 18 months → 40%

More ecosystem activity → larger Treasury allocations → higher rewards for stakers.
