As part of Bio Season 2, we're excited to announce a major upgrade to BioXP that fundamentally changes how you earn rewards in the Bio ecosystem. The new BioXP introduces powerful new mechanics to drive more rewards to BIO stakers and encourage support for newly launched ecosystem tokens.
Summary
- BIO Staking as the Foundation: Staking BIO (to generate veBIO) is now required in order to earn XP from ecosystem token staking.
- Ecosystem Airdrops: veBIO holders passively earn automatic airdrops from new token launches.
- Level Multiplier: Your veBIO balance unlocks boosted earning power up to 10X on ecosystem token staking.
- New Token Multiplier: In the first 60 days after a new ecosystem token goes live, veBIO holders earn even more XP for staking the ecosystem token.
The first Season 2 Ignition Sales are imminent; following the first two S2 Ignition Sale, all BioXP older than 14 days will immediately expire.
As of today, Multipliers are live for new and existing BIO stakers.

BioXP Refresher
As a quick refresher, BioXP (”Bio Experiment Points”) is a loyalty program designed to reward active members of the Bio community. Users earn BioXP through staking their BIO or by staking ecosystem tokens, such as IP Tokens, BioAgents and BioDAO tokens. BioXP can then be pledged to Ignition Sales for early access to new tokens.
Your allocation in a sale depends on your share of the total BioXP pledged. For example, pledging 5 BioXP into an Ignition Sale with 1,000 BioXP pledged earns 0.5% of that sale’s tokens.
S2 Ecosystem Airdrops & Multipliers
BioXP Season 2 adds two core incentive mechanisms: airdrops and multipliers.
BIO stakers receive automatic airdrops from new token launches, providing passive yield as the network expands. Our vision is for BIO stakers to one day soon wake up and see an array of new DeSci tokens on the network airdropped to their wallet. Ecosystem airdrops are expected to go live after the first wave of S2 launches.
S2 also introduces three types of multipliers that boost XP based on network participation:
- BIO Staking Multiplier: Boosts BioXP earning power on all staked BIO.
- Level Multipliers: Higher veBIO balances earn more BioXP on ecosystem token staking.
- New Token Multipliers: Boosts BioXP for staking ecosystem tokens in their first 60 days live.
The more you stake (and earlier you stake), the more access you’ll receive in Season 2 Ignition Sales.
Important: Following the second S2 Ignition Sale, all BioXP older than 14 days will immediately expire - meaning, users who have accrued BioXP since the conclusion of S1 must use it on the first two sales in S2.
Below we’ll dive into more details on S2 staking mechanics and formulas.
The Foundation: BIO Staking
BIO staking is the bedrock of XP earning, providing stable, predictable and perpetual rewards.
The formula for BioXP earnings on BIO staking is as follows:
Initially set at 6X, the Bio Staking Multiplier is a system-wide parameter that can be updated to adjust the incentive to stake BIO vs. ecosystem tokens.
Level Multiplier: Unlock Your Earning Potential
The new BioXP system transforms your veBIO balance into direct earning power in the ecosystem.
Staking BIO (which generates veBIO) is now required in order to earn BioXP on ecosystem token staking; without veBIO, you cannot earn XP on ecosystem staking.
There are 7 levels (0-6), each unlocking progressively higher multipliers on ecosystem tokens:
How to Level Up: Simply stake BIO tokens to receive veBIO. The more BIO you stake and the longer you lock it, the more veBIO you accumulate, advancing you through the levels.
What This Means: Users are incentivized to maintain large, long-term BIO positions while participating in the broader ecosystem. A Level 6 user, for example, earns 20x more BioXP from ecosystem token staking compared to a Level 1 user with the same ecosystem token holdings.
New Token Multiplier: Boosting New Launches
Every newly launched ecosystem token now receives enhanced rewards through a three-phase Multiplier.
- Day 0-30, stakers get a 10X multiplier on BioXP.
- Days 31-60, the multiplier decays linearly 10x→1x.
- After day 60, tokens lose their New Token Multiplier but maintain the Ecosystem Multiplier.
The example below shows Daily XP Earnings over time with the following staking parameters:
- New Token Staked Amount: $5,000
- Staked BIO: $5,000
- BIO Lock Period: 12 Weeks
- BIO Price: $0.08
Dual Earning: Stacking XP Multipliers
Here's where it gets powerful: during a token's first 60 days, both multipliers stack together for bigger XP gains.
Users who maintain high staked BIO amounts and participate in new launches win the most.
XP values below are illustrative only.

Why This Matters for the Ecosystem
The new BioXP system achieves several critical goals:
- Strengthens BIO as the Core Asset: Creates sustained demand for BIO through consistent earning rates and multiplier benefits.
- Rewards Long-Term Commitment: veBIO holders earn reliable XP earnings plus airdropped distributions from every new token launch.
- Bootstraps New Launches: The dual-multiplier system attracts early liquidity and attention to newly launched tokens.
- Creates Strategic Depth: Sophisticated users can optimize between stable XP returns from veBIO and tactical ecosystem plays.
- Aligns Incentives: The most committed ecosystem participants (veBIO holders) benefit most from new opportunities.
