When we introduced OMI Unlimited in July, we didn’t give it a launch date. We wanted the beta to tell us when it was ready.
It has. OMI Unlimited opens on Base on October 1, and Season 1 begins the same day.
Starting with the essentials
The beta taught us plenty, but one lesson stood out: the core loop comes first. Stake, earn XP, climb the leaderboard. People need to get comfortable with that before anything else.
So that’s what launches Thursday. Several features built and tested during the beta, along with some of what we shared in July, will arrive through dedicated releases during Season 1 and into Season 2 and beyond. Each will get its own introduction, so every new piece has room to land.
What changes on October 1
- OMI Leaderboard Rewards close on September 30, after awarding more than 1 billion OMI to the community. Thank you to everyone who competed.
- OMI to Gem retires. USDC to Gem on StackR becomes the main way to buy Gems with crypto, with 10% of every purchase used to buy and burn OMI.
- The daily MCP bonus moves to staking. Bonus Master Collector Program points now come from OMI Unlimited: up to 1,500 a day, with the full bonus at 10M OMI staked. Holding OMI on StackR keeps earning bonus points until October 4, so you won’t miss a day while you move over.
- Staking opens and Season 1 begins. Season 1 runs October 1 to December 31.
Season 1 at a glance
Stake a minimum of 1M OMI for 3, 6, 12, or 24 months and earn XP every day. Your daily rate is set by your lock length, your stake size, your VeVe MCP level, and eligible VeVe collectibles you hold. Longer locks earn faster, up to 2× for 24 months.
When the season closes, your rank decides your rewards:
- Season collectibles. Finish in the top 1% for Secret Rare, top 3% for Ultra Rare, top 10% for Rare, top 25% for Uncommon, or anywhere else for Common. You earn every band below yours too. Ultra Rare requires a 6-month lock or longer, and Secret Rare requires 12 months or longer.
- VeVe Gems. 80% of the season’s Gem pool is shared by XP. The other 20% is split evenly among everyone whose lock runs to season end, with a minimum of 10 Gems each.
The staking contract has been audited by Hacken, with no critical, high, or medium findings. Your OMI stays in the contract, never with ECOMI. Read the report.

Before October 1: get your OMI on Base
Staking opens Thursday, but there’s one thing you can do now: make sure your OMI is on Base. OMI Unlimited runs only on Base, so OMI on Ethereum or on an exchange can’t be staked until it’s moved.
Doing it now means you can stake the moment Season 1 opens, and every day staked is a day of XP. It also keeps your daily MCP bonus going past the October 4 cutoff.
Our guide covers where to buy OMI, how to bridge from Ethereum to Base, and how to confirm you’re holding the official token: How to buy OMI and move it to Base.
On October 1, sign in with your VeVe account at staking.ecomi.com and you’ll be ready to stake. If you’d like to see the flow ahead of time, here’s How to stake OMI: a step-by-step guide.
See you Thursday
Season 1 is the foundation. New features, reward types, and ways to boost will roll out through the season and beyond, so keep an eye on the ECOMI Discord and our socials for each release.
In July we called this the beginning of what OMI can be for the people who hold it. On Thursday, it starts.
Real utility, premium rewards, infinite possibilities. Welcome to OMI Unlimited. 🙌
Cryptocurrency carries risk, including total loss. OMI is a utility token, not an investment product. Always do your own research.
