Preparing for the New Trade Rewards Contract

Eagle AI Labs is upgrading the Trade Rewards contract to support larger scale, higher stability, and long-term growth. This decision follows a technical limitation we encountered, where the existing contract reached the maximum block size allowed on the blockchain.

The important point to highlight is that no tokens or rewards were ever at risk during this issue. Your assets have remained safe, either in your wallet or within the contract you originally staked into. What we are doing now is not about repairing lost value, but about transitioning to a new system that can grow alongside our ambitions without running into the same limitations again.

Why this upgrade is needed

The current contract processes rewards by checking every staked wallet each epoch. Over time, this became heavier for the system to handle.

Here’s why:

• Tokens that weren’t claimed in a past epoch are marked as “locked.”
• Tokens staked in the current epoch are marked as “processed.”
• Long-term stakers, especially those who have been active since the first epochs, built up longer lists of locked tokens.
• When the contract tried to process everything at once, it reached the maximum size limit for a block on the blockchain.

Eventually, the volume of these locked tokens became so large that the contract exceeded the maximum processing capacity of a blockchain block. Once that threshold was crossed, the process could no longer complete successfully. Freezing the contract was the only safe course of action. This pause gave us the ability to analyse the issue properly, resolve the immediate block limit problem, and begin work on a new system that is designed to avoid these limitations entirely.

What you need to do

To prepare for the upgraded contract, every holder must take the following steps:

1. Head to the dashboard and claim all your pending Trade Rewards.
2. Unstake all of your tokens.
3. Repeat the process for every wallet you use.
4. Hold your tokens in your wallet until the new contract is live.

When the upgrade is complete and the new contract deployed, you will be able to restake into the new contract and continue earning rewards. Completing these steps now ensures that your holdings are ready to be moved into the improved system as soon as it becomes available.

What happens to your rewards

No rewards are lost as a result of this process. Every profit generated during this interim period is still being added to the rewards pool.

Once the upgraded contract is deployed, we will restart epochs and provide plenty of time for all holders to restake before the first epoch begins. At that point, any rewards that have built up during this transition will be distributed. You will receive everything owed to you in a single payout.

Nothing disappears and nothing is forfeited. This pause simply delays when the rewards are distributed, while giving us the chance to build a stronger foundation for the system.

What we are doing on our side

While you claim and unstake, our team is building the upgraded contract. This involves development, security testing, and audits. Some of these steps are external to Eagle AI Labs, which means they take time.

We are talking about a smart contract that will live permanently on the blockchain. It cannot be rushed or patched later. It has to be done right before it goes live.

We will keep the community updated on progress and timelines as testing and audits move forward.

We know this is disruptive. The original contract reached its limit faster than we anticipated, and that created delays for everyone.

But the right move is to pause, fix, and upgrade now rather than ignore the warning signs. By building the upgraded contract now, we avoid hitting these limits again in the future.

The next phase

The upgraded contract is being developed with scale and stability in mind. It will be able to handle more users, more staking, and longer-term participation without hitting the same block size issues.

Your role is simple: claim your rewards, unstake your tokens, and hold them securely until the new contract is live.

Our role is to complete the upgrade thoroughly and safely.

Once both steps are complete, we can move forward together. The upgraded system will allow Eagle AI Labs to continue expanding Trade Rewards at the pace required by our community.

Security reminders

With changes like this, scammers often try to take advantage. A few reminders:

• The Eagle AI Labs team will never direct message you first.
• Ignore and block anyone sending you links or offers in private messages.
• After unstaking, your tokens return directly to your wallet. You remain the sole custodian of your assets.
• Use a cold or hardware wallet if you hold larger amounts.
• If you are ever unsure, ask only in the official channels.
