ECOMI Opens OMI Staking With Locks Up to 2 Years, 20% Exit Burn

ECOMI opened OMI Unlimited, its staking program for OMI, on the 1st of October 2026, the first day of Season 1. ^[2] In the first 24 hours, ECOMI said, 578 stakers locked 13.85B OMI, a total value locked of $4.18M. That grew the Season 1 VeVe Gem pool from 100,000 to 120,000 Gems. ^[1] Since staking opened, OMI has risen 38.0%, from $0.0002400 to $0.0003313 at the close of the 4th of October 2026. The wider gaming market rose 13.6% over the same days.

Stakers take on real costs. They earn no OMI, only VeVe Gems and collectibles. [4] ECOMI said it would name the collectibles once its licensors signed off. ^[3] Their OMI stays locked for up to 2 years. If the price falls in that time, they carry the loss or pay 20% of their stake to get out. ECOMI’s own FAQ says the value of OMI “can move significantly.” It adds that the Hacken audit of the staking contract reduces risk but “can’t remove it entirely.” Each new staker shrinks everyone else’s share of the Gem pool. Holders with less than 1,000,000 OMI cannot stake at all. ^[4] The leaderboard rewards and OMI-to-Gem swaps they had are gone. ^[2]

More on the story

Season 1 runs to the 31st of December 2026. Stakers who leave early lose 20% of their staked OMI, which is burned, and give up the season’s rewards unless they stake again before it closes. ^[3] On the 5th of October 2026, ECOMI said 760 stakers had locked 17.78B OMI and the Gem pool had grown to 130,000. The same day, the first staker left early, and 225,007 OMI was burned. ^[6]
