River's seasonal airdrop model kept the system in motion after TGE.
Every cycle brought new participants, expanded new ecosystems, and kept on-chain activity consistent through real use. That consistency came from the community, and S5 continues it.
Season 5 is now active.
Timeline
- S5 start date April 22, 2026
- S4 Airdrop Claim opens once settlement is completed
- New conversion details publish after S4 claim opens
- S5 is expected to close around the end of Q2 2026
- River Pts you earn during S5 become claimable after S5 closes
- Final end date, claim window, and reward distribution confirmed through official announcement after Season settles
⏳ S5 runs roughly 90 days, ending around the end of Q2. The actual date may come earlier or later, and River will announce the final timing.
How to Participate
S5 centers on $RIVER staking.
Most of the incentive weight in this Season sits with partner programs and campaigns, which means active participation in Campaigns is the most efficient path to earning River Pts.
1. $RIVER Staking + Governance
The core track in S5. Staking $RIVER is how you accumulate River Pts, gain voting power, and participate in River governance.
Longer staking commitments retain more of your base output and carry stronger voting power, so the staking duration you choose directly shapes both your River Pts accumulation and how much voice you carry.
Voting power scales with both staked RIVER and commitment duration.
100 RIVER staked for 12 months carries 800 voting power. Add more or extend your commitment at any time, and the weekly snapshot reflects it in the next governance cycle.
- Stake $RIVER to earn rewards and River Pts
- Governance votes weighted by staked RIVER and commitment duration
- Staking outputs remain claimable for 3 months

2. Partner Campaigns
Where most new incentives land in S5.
Partner Campaigns drive most of the new River Pts this Season. Each one runs with its own partner and multiplier, and joining them consistently is the fastest way to accumulate Pts in S5.
- Programs launch throughout the Season across partner ecosystems
- Each program carries its own reward structure and multipliers
- Announcements publish through official channels
3. Omni-CDP (satUSD)
satUSD stays the foundation. Deploy it across supported chains, mint, provide liquidity, or use it inside integrated DeFi protocols.
Weekly snapshots run every Saturday. The S5 Leaderboard updates after each snapshot.
S5 also brings satUSD into new ecosystems and protocol integrations. Each expansion adds more venues for deployment, more ways to participate, and more surface for River Pts across the Season.
4. River4FUN
Connect your X account to River4FUN to participate.
Post content, take part in community activities, and join ongoing programs to accumulate River Pts.
Daily Pts updates are tracked on River4FUN Creators S5, where you can check your standing throughout the Season.
Closing
S5 runs from April 22 through the end of Q2 2026.
Over these roughly 90 days, participation flows through $RIVER staking, Partner Campaigns, satUSD across the Omni-CDP, and River4FUN.
Thanks for staying on this journey with us. S5 continues because you do.
