KateIn the third episode of Inside EARN’M, we unveiled EARNMax, our most ambitious product yet—and the first Web3 on-chain subscription that offers amazing rewards! As always, we addressed the most relevant questions our community asked about staking, rewards, EarnPhones, and more.
Here’s the full recap 👇
🎮 What Is EARNMax?
EARNMax is set to become our flagship product—and for good reason. It combines cutting-edge web3 infrastructure with direct user utility, all built on the upcoming EARNM Layer 2.
Imagine subscribing to your favorite Web3 membership—not just for access, but for the chance to win real crypto prizes every month. No middlemen. No fine print. Just one click, and you're in.
With EARNMax, you don’t just get premium perks. You enter a constantly running lottery ecosystem with:
- 💰 $50K–$100K+ in monthly prize pools
- 🎁 Mystery Box drops
- 📦 SmartNode giveaways
- 🧪 Early access to new products like Mystery Boxes V2
- 🎟️ All transparent, all powered by our upcoming Layer 2
“This isn’t just another dApp. It’s a rewards machine that puts the power—and the prizes—directly in your hands”
Let’s break it down ⬇️
🏆 Rewards + Subscriptions = Real Utility
Setting up is ridiculously simple. All it takes is one transaction to subscribe—and you're officially part of the game. Just connect, sign, and you're in.
From there, your subscription unlocks a stream of benefits:
- You get your shot at the 2025 Annual Mega Pool 🎁
- You're automatically entered into weekly and monthly crypto prize pools.
- You get priority access to SmartNodes, Mystery Boxes, and future product rollouts.
- All activity is fully transparent and on-chain, so you can verify every draw, every winner, and every prize distribution — the first ever fully transparent prize pool!
🤝 Built for Partners, Powered by Users
EARNMax is also a powerful revenue and engagement engine for Web3 projects & partners.
By integrating EARNMax, partners can:
- Tap into a new revenue stream through a revenue share partnership with EARNM.
- Offer custom benefits for their users (think: gated tools, exclusive drops, and more)
- Expand their visibility through joint campaigns and lotteries hosted inside EARNMax
We're already onboarding 5+ partners for launch—each bringing their community, rewards, and hype with them.
🪙 Boosting $EARNM’s Utility
Everything ties back into strengthening the ecosystem. EARNMax transactions convert to $EARNM once the EARNM Layer 2 goes live. This model will generate:
- 🔄 Buy pressure on $EARNM as payments settle on-chain
- 📈 Increased token utility across the board
- 🧱 A growing foundation that supports everything we’re building next
And because most rewards are paid in USDC, ETH, or partner tokens, there’s zero sell pressure on $EARNM—only new use cases and reasons to hold.
📈 Community Q&A Highlights
Q1: What’s the difference between EARN’M Edition EarnPhones & regular Mode Mobile Phones?
EARN’M Edition EarnPhones, received as a premium benefit for SmartNode buyers, grant users unique in-app access to Mystery Boxes and ecosystem rewards through the SmartNode Staking Dashboard!
Q2: Are there benefits for $EARNM stakers?
Yes! Stakers get access to DeFi protocols like Morpho & Aave, plus higher eligibility for rewards and ecosystem perks:
- Staking $EARNM tokens or owning SmartNodes unlocks higher tiers across EARNMax. You get increased lottery odds, early access to new tools like Mystery Boxes V2, and bonus entries depending on how much you’ve staked. It’s a straightforward system that gives more to those who commit more.
- We’re rolling out integrations with platforms like Morpho, Aave, and Curve so you can lend, borrow, and earn with your $EARNM holdings. Native staking at staking.earnm.com already gives yield, but we’re expanding into LP strategies, flexible lockups, and auto-compounding options.
These tools let you put your tokens to work while deepening your access across the ecosystem. Think passive income + ecosystem perks rolled into one.
Q3: What happens to unsold SmartNodes?
The unsold SmartNodes are not being resold or redistributed. They’re locked in a company wallet, where their sole purpose is to:
- Support and secure the EARN’M Layer 2 testnet
- Help power network growth without adding sell pressure
User-staked SmartNodes are already running in a secure smart contract environment. These remaining nodes are infrastructure reserves, not inventory. This ensures scarcity and prevents unnecessary dilution of node value.
Q4: How Will You Attract Buyers in a Saturated Market?
By doing what most projects don’t — building products that people actually use.
EARN’M is creating a full-stack ecosystem that merges DeFi, gamified engagement, and infrastructure for Web3 subscriptions. That’s what makes EARNMax a breakout product, and here’s why it matters for buyers:
1️⃣ Working Infrastructure, Not Just Features
EARNMax isn’t a one-off EARN’M product. It’s the first fully on-chain subscription system that can serve any Web3 project. That means other ecosystems can plug into EARNMax, offering their users recurring access and creating sustainable monetization models — all powered by $EARNM.
And when builders use it, it drives more on-chain transactions directly through the EARN’M Layer 2, increasing demand and real utility for the token.
2️⃣ Layer 2 = New Foundation
Every transaction inside EARNMax will soon ultimately settle in $EARNM on our Layer 2. That means:
- Recurring buy pressure (even from users paying in other tokens)
- Increased usage of the token across smart contract activity
- Sustainable token velocity without relying on emissions
In short, Layer 2 creates a flywheel for token usage and demand.
3️⃣ Smart Model — Incentives with No Sell Pressure
Rewards from EARNMax will be paid primarily in USDC, USDT, and ETH, not $EARNM — which means users don’t need to sell tokens to claim value. But many will use those stable rewards to buy more $EARNM and unlock higher tiers, deeper benefits, and access to gated tools.
More use = more volume
More volume = more attention
More attention = more buyers
4️⃣ DeFi, KOLs, and Strategic Growth
EARN'M is expanding via:
- DeFi integrations (Morpho, Aave, Curve) that increase token utility
- Revenue-sharing partner deals that onboard users via other communities
- KOL campaigns lined up to help amplify EARNMax and ecosystem adoption
We know the market is volatile right now. The macro environment is shifting, and many investors are cautious. That’s why we’re launching in a way that builds momentum steadily, with product-first rollouts and sustained growth into Q2 and beyond.
“We’re not competing for attention—we’re creating the tools, where attention will organically flow through”
