The Juror Incentive Program, launched by the Kleros Cooperative in 2021 and funded from its treasury, aims to boost staking and strengthen protocol security—a core priority.
Since KIP-66, the DAO has funded rewards via a formula that algorithmically adjusts them toward a long-term 50% staking target. This ambitious initiative delivered clear results. KIP-78 later refined the formula for a less aggressive and more long term approach.
As the chart below shows, staking has reached an all-time high of 35.72% in October 2025 (up from 16.16% in 2021). Also we can note that KIP-78’s impact is clear: rewards grew only marginally from 6.58M PNK in September to 6.69M PNK in October, ending exponential escalation.
Since the implementation of KIP-66 in January 2024, 61.7 million PNK has been distributed to jurors staking in Kleros Court. We firmly believe that the current strategy represents the optimal path forward, with tangible results clearly evidenced in this chart.
To enhance transparency and allow the entire community to monitor the minting process outlined in KIP-66, we are sharing a table detailing PNK mints from previous years, as well as the upcoming mint scheduled for this month. This mint accounts for:
Reimburse the Cooperative for the excess PNK distributed in 2025: 33.9M
Cover an estimated allocation of KIP-66 for 2026 (Dec25 rewards X12): 76.3M
Like previous year and to be more efficient, we do this mint in one transaction of 110.2M that will be submitted to the Governor this month. Any questions or comment let us know.
