Graphite Network Introduces a Fairer Alternative to Passive Staking and Prepares @G Token for CEX Listings as Its 2025 Roadmap Unfolds

Graphite Network Roadmap 2025: Market Staking & Beyond

Graphite Network, a reputation-driven Layer 1 blockchain which allows all types of nodes to generate income directly from the network, has come up with a roadmap for 2025. 

The roadmap includes launching a major alternative solution to passive staking, Market Staking Program, which provides a new way for users to earn rewards by actively participating in the market rather than simply holding onto their tokens. 

For crypto enthusiasts, passive staking has become a popular method for getting rewards with little effort. The process is simple: you buy your tokens, lock them up, and sit back as you watch your earnings accumulate over time. This promise of passive income has attracted countless users to the crypto space. 

However, the hype eventually faded as reality fell a bit short. Many staking programs promise fixed annual percentage yields (APYs), typically ranging from 4% to 15%. But these rates frequently struggle to keep up with the crypto market’s volatility. When prices fluctuate or token values decline, the returns you expect can actually lose real value. 

Moreover, as more participants join staking, rewards are spread thinner, diminishing returns for both early adopters and newcomers. Even programs boasting high initial APYs often taper off, as promotional rates prove unsustainable and the growing pool of stakers dilutes individual payouts. 

Ultimately, passive staking tends to deliver smaller profits than enthusiasts expect. With its Market Staking Program, Graphite Network aims to change this reality, encouraging action over inaction to create a healthier, more engaged ecosystem. It’s not just about bigger rewards; it’s about fairness, giving those who actively support the network a bigger share of the pie.

These efforts are just part of Graphite Network’s larger 2025 roadmap that includes listing @G on centralized exchanges (CEXs) and launching reputation-based, high-utility Layer 2 (L2) solutions whose aim is to encourage broader adoption of their blockchain technology and accelerate Web3 adoption at scale.  

Listing @G on Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) for Broader Reach

According to the roadmap, Graphite Network will list @G on selected reputable CEXs in the second quarter of 2025. This listing is expected to improve the token's liquidity, accessibility, and visibility, making it easier for a broader range of users to discover, acquire, and trade @G.

Recent examples show how much a CEX listing can impact a token. For instance, when Aptos (APT) launched on Binance in late 2022, its trading volume jumped by 300% in just a week, and its price went up by 40%. Similarly, Arbitrum’s ARB token saw a 20% increase after being listed on Coinbase in 2023, thanks to easier access. 

For Graphite Network, listing @G could lead to similar successes, attracting more traders and strengthening its position within the ecosystem.

The Roadmap Goes Beyond Staking and Listing

While the Market Staking Program and CEX listings are the initiatives that are just about to come to life in Q1-Q2, Graphite Network has an even broader vision for this year. 

In the first six months of 2025, they will also focus on usability improvements, like a better wallet and instant exchange features, creating a solid foundation for the platform. 

Additionally, Graphite Network will be launching its first L2 solution, Phonebook Reputation project MVP, which is a decentralized identity tool that will rate users based on their voting and behavior, storing this information in smart contracts. Users can think of it as a trust filter for users on decentralized finance (DeFi) or traditional finance (TradFi) platforms.

In Q3-Q4, Graphite Network will continue to work on L2 innovations. They plan to introduce a reputation-based dating app and the hotspot bundles initiative, which is a decentralized internet solution that targets underserved countries/regions, merging blockchain technology with real-world needs. 

Graphite Network also aims to improve decentralized governance with a voting system that values credibility over wealth, along with releasing a DePIN Geo Game that tokenizes physical objects.

These aren’t just flashy ideas; they’re serious attempts to show that blockchain can tackle everyday issues, from unreliable dating apps to poor internet access. You can read more about Graphite Network’s roadmap on their official blog.

Graphite Network is stepping up with a plan that’s both pragmatic and ambitious. As 2025 progresses, its actions could set new standards for what decentralized technology can achieve.
