Yesterday we hosted an X Space with Vera Yurkova – Community Lead at EarnPark and Kristina Kozhukhova – Head of Business Development.

The goal was simple – to be fully transparent about where EarnPark stands with the PARK Token Sale, what we learned from Tier 3, why we decided to move the TGE to the first quarter of 2026, and how we’re thinking about PARK utilities and its long-term role in the ecosystem.

This recap walks through the main points we covered during the session.

Tier 3 Recap: Strong Results in a Tough Market

In Tier 3, over 58 million PARK tokens were secured, bringing the total number of token holders to more than 800 users (not including users who earned PARK through mining) who are ready to shape the next stage of EarnPark’s journey.
A few important observations from Tier 3:

  • Participation came from both repeat contributors from earlier tiers and new investors who discovered EarnPark through this sale.
  • We saw more thoughtful behaviour: more questions in support and Discord, more due diligence on strategies, less “ape in and disappear”.

This is exactly the mindset we believe fits the current market: slower, more research-driven, and focused on real products.

Tier 3 also arrived right after an unpleasant event — the flash crash on October 11–12. It acted as a real stress test for the whole system.
One strategy was affected, while the others remained stable.
Overall, the structure showed resilience, and despite the market turbulence, Tier 3 closed with solid results.

For us, the main takeaway is clear:
Tier 3 was successful despite a difficult market window, and that strengthened our confidence in both our yield strategies and the community behind PARK.

Why PARK Sale Tier 4 Was Moved to January 8

After monitoring the market and analysing activity, we decided to postpone Tier 4 to January 8.

Key reasons:

  • Current investor activity is low, volumes are down, and sentiment across the market is cautious.
  • The last week of December is traditionally weaker due to the holiday period, when many investors are simply not active.
  • Running Tier 4 in late December would likely result in a slow and inefficient round.

Rather than pushing a tier into a weak window, we chose a better environment in early January, when liquidity and engagement historically improve.
The goal of the sale hasn’t changed — only the timing, to make sure Tier 4 can perform properly.

TGE & Listing Shifted to Q1 2026

Kristina then walked through the reasoning behind moving the PARK Token Generation Event (TGE) and listing.

Originally, we aimed for a Q4 2025 TGE. After reviewing the market outlook and projecting the performance of Tiers 4 and 5, we made the decision to move TGE and listing to Q1 2026.

Why this makes sense:

  • Forcing Tiers 4 and 5 into December would not create the healthy launch environment PARK needs.
  • Our partners — market makers and exchanges — share this view and consider Q1 a stronger, more constructive window for a utility token launch.
  • We’re not interested in “keeping a date” for the sake of it. The priority is a launch that sets PARK up for sustainable performance, not a one-day spike.

What this change means:

  • For everyone: a more favourable window for the final tiers and listing.
  • For the team: more time to strengthen partnerships, refine communications, and scale marketing.
  • For PARK Lounge members (now more than 13,000): more time to earn PARK Points and grow their share of the $1,000,000 PARK airdrop.

The objective remains the same:
launch PARK into a market that gives it the momentum it deserves.

How We’re Preparing: Exchanges & Market Makers

We also shared what has already been done on the listing preparation side.

Exchange side

Since April, we have been:

  • Reviewing Tier-1 global exchanges
  • Evaluating Tier-2 platforms with flexible terms and strong regional user bases

One important point:
we’re not just going “anywhere that accepts us.” We’re selecting venues where PARK can attract real organic demand. Listing price alone doesn’t guarantee healthy trading or a strong community. We’re consciously avoiding pump-and-dump style setups.

Market Maker Choice

Over the past months, we’ve:

  • Talked to 10+ market makers, including top-tier global firms, mid-tier players, specialized algo desks, and spin-offs of larger MMs.
  • Evaluated them based on:
    • Target spreads and order book depth
    • Liquidity support mechanics
    • Quality of dashboards and transparency
    • Behaviour under multi-listing
    • Track record with similar tokens

As a result, we’re happy to share that we have now signed with CLS as our market-making partner.

CLS has over 7 years of experience and more than 300 clients, and they’re fully equipped to support a utility-focused token launch with a long-term perspective.

Utilities: What PARK Does in the Ecosystem

This part of the conversation explained how PARK is designed to function inside the EarnPark ecosystem — not just on exchanges.

1. Staking

Staking in PARK is built around three core functions:

  1. Boosting returns.
    If you invest in EarnPark strategies and stake PARK, your APY goes up. The longer you lock, the higher your multiplier.
  2. Unlocking premium products.
    Some high-yield, limited-capacity strategies will be available only to stakers, so PARK acts as your access key.
  3. Participation without huge base capital.
    You’ll be able to stake PARK even if you’re not investing in other yield strategies. So both big investors and primarily token holders can benefit.

We’re planning to roll out staking by the end of the year.

2. Mining & Activity Rewards

Many of you already see this in PARK Lounge.

PARK Points and PARK tokens (via mining) are distributed for actions like:

  • Deposits
  • Using strategies
  • Completing tasks and achievements

The key idea: PARK is not just thrown from the sky. It’s earned by users who help the ecosystem grow.

Mining is already live today — if you’re investing in strategies, you’re already accumulating PARK.

3. Exclusive Access & AI Copilot

Since strategy capacity is finite, not everyone will always be able to enter every product in any size.

Here PARK plays another important role:

  • Stakers and holders will get priority access to limited, high-demand strategies.
  • We’re also building an AI Trading Copilot as a separate product line, and access will be tied to PARK. This will directly influence demand for the token as the product grows.

4. Protocol & Value Capture

Looking further ahead:

  • After EarnPark reaches breakeven (currently planned for 2027), we plan to use 10% of platform revenue to buy back PARK from the market.
  • Our team is developing a DeFi protocol focused on derivatives on liquidity pools, enabling impermanent-loss hedging and leveraged trading. As the protocol goes live, PARK is planned to become the token that captures part of that value.

We are also exploring more “everyday” utilities such as EarnPark-linked cards, so that PARK becomes part of how you interact with money, not just a number in your wallet.

On top of this, earlier-announced utilities remain:

  • Fee discounts
  • More weight in ecosystem decisions as the project moves into a deeper governance phase

In short, PARK is designed to:

  • Boost your returns
  • Unlock restricted products
  • Provide access to AI tools and advanced mechanics
  • Tie you directly to EarnPark’s growth

Is There an “Optimal” PARK Share?

Kristina shared how we think internally about PARK in a user’s portfolio.

We consider 10–15% of your EarnPark balance in PARK as an optimal range for active participants.
This tends to create a balanced position across:

  • Staking rewards
  • Fee discounts
  • Long-term value capture from ecosystem growth

This is not a requirement and not financial advice — just a guideline for those who want to maximise their participation in the system.

What’s Next Before TGE?

In the final part of the Space, we talked about what’s coming between now and TGE.

Here’s what to expect:

  • More partnerships.
    We’re continuing to work with protocols, infrastructure providers, and liquidity partners directly connected to how EarnPark strategies operate.
  • Active PARK Lounge.
    PARK Lounge will remain in its active phase with more tasks, achievements, and ways to earn PARK Points.
    This also means more chances to increase your share of the $1,000,000 PARK airdrop. If you’ve been semi-passive, this is a good time to catch up.
  • Tier 4 and Tier 5.
    These final tiers will be structured with all the lessons from the first three: pricing, caps, timing, and communication.
    We’ll share details in advance so everyone has time to prepare and, if needed, adjust allocations before TGE.

Why PARK Matters in 2026

To close the Space, Vera zoomed out beyond the listing date.

EarnPark is building a transparent CeDeFi engine:

  • Real yield from real strategies
  • A clear risk framework
  • A token model that doesn’t treat users as exit liquidity for funds

PARK is wired into that engine — through staking, mining, AI tools, and the protocol layer that’s being built.

From the community side, we’ve already seen what matters most:

  • Deposits have grown with each tier
  • Users didn’t disappear after the hype; they came back with more questions and deeper interest
  • Many of you stayed, compared strategies, and chose to keep building with us

That’s what you need if you want to create something that can survive more than one market cycle.

After TGE, nothing becomes “finished.” In many ways, that’s when things get more interesting:

  • New ways to use PARK
  • More rights and tools for active holders
  • More direct influence on how the ecosystem evolves

Holding PARK in 2026 isn’t just about watching the listing price. It’s about being in the group of people who benefit most from the system they helped bootstrap.

As Vera summed up during the Space:

2025 is about proving that PARK is real.
2026 is about letting the EarnPark + PARK engine work at full power — together with the people who believed early.

How to Get Involved Now

If you want guaranteed access to the token sale, you can already join via the Token Sale DeFi strategies with BTC, USDT, or ETH — and earn 50% APY while you wait. At the start of the sale the funds in the strategy will be converted into PARK at the Tier 4 price - $0.0015 per token

If you prefer to join the live sale, make sure you’re on the waitlist — that’s where priority access for upcoming rounds will be managed.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Space, asked questions, and continues to build the EarnPark ecosystem together with us!
