Sanctum is shutting down Active Staking Rewards after the CLOUD-7 proposal passed MetaDAO's futarchy markets on August 14, approving a final distribution of 15 million CLOUD from the Community Reserve to stakers before the program closes permanently. Based on Sanctum's stated 1 billion CLOUD supply, the payout equals 1.5% of total tokens. The distribution will be allocated pro-rata by Staking Score over the August 24, 2025 to July 28, 2026 window; the proposal says a holder staked for the full period would receive about 0.234 CLOUD per CLOUD staked, or roughly 25.3% annualized, and claims must be made by January 1, 2027 or the rewards will be forfeited. CLOUD-7 generated $501,150 in trading volume over three days, and the PASS market closed implying a $23.0 million CLOUD market cap, above the spot market's $21.6 million and the FAIL market's $19.7 million, which approved the measure under MetaDAO's market-based governance system. Sanctum said claim instructions will follow shortly; once ASR ends, sCLOUD will have no further use in the rewards program beyond its 1:1 conversion back into CLOUD, which unlocks over 30 days.
