Giveaway: 100+ Packs and 10,000+ STEL for the First Pilots to Enlist
The airlock is opening, and we're not letting the first pilots through empty-handed.
We're giving away more than 100 Genesis card packs and more than 10,000 STEL to the pilots who enlist now.
Follow and comment, and one guaranteed pack is already yours. Everything past that is you stacking the odds in your favor.

What is in the pool
Two prize stacks make up the draw pool, pulled by ticket:
- 100 Genesis card packs. Unopened packs of real, ownable cards.
- Ten prizes of 1,000 STEL each. That's 10,000 STEL total, and every one of them lands as a staked position locked for three months after launch.
That headline is the floor, not the ceiling. Every task you finish also banks guaranteed rewards on top of the draw, which is why the real total runs past 100 packs and past 10,000 STEL.

A locked stake isn't dead weight. While it sits locked it earns a share of the daily staking rewards, so a 1,000-STEL prize keeps paying out across the full three months.
Straight answer on the timing: STEL staking is being built right now, so it's not live yet. Your staked prize is granted and starts its three-month lock when staking goes live around launch, and it earns the whole time it's locked. The giveaway is how you reserve your place in it.
Step one: follow and comment
This is the base requirement, and it's the only one that's mandatory. Follow @stellarch here on Hive and leave a comment on this post. Do that and you're in:
- One guaranteed Genesis pack, yours on top of the draw (it doesn't come out of the 100-pack pool).
- One ticket in the grand draw for the packs and the STEL stakes.
One thing that matters: comment with the Hive account you actually plan to play the closed alpha with. That account is how we match your entry to your rewards later, so use the real one.

Stack it up: enlist on the alpha waitlist
Sign up for the closed-alpha waitlist with that same account, and your haul grows: 100 STEL, granted as a staked position locked for three months after launch, the same deal as the grand prizes. It also drops a second ticket into the draw.
You earn this one by showing up. Join the closed alpha with the account you commented with, run through the getting-started guide, and play a few matches. The staked STEL is yours.
Enlisting carries a bonus that is already real today: every confirmed pilot gets The First Pilot, a free gold-foil Genesis promo card minted straight to your collection when the airlock opens.

Stack it higher: back us on Product Hunt
Stellarch launches on Product Hunt soon, and the warm-up matters more than the day itself. Follow our Product Hunt page now so you get pinged the second we go live. That's worth three more guaranteed Genesis packs, plus a third ticket into the draw.
The catch is the proof. Follow the page, open the menu on our profile, and screenshot the view that shows the Unfollow Stellarch option. If the menu reads Unfollow, you're following, and that screenshot is your receipt. Drop it in your comment. It has to look like this:

Follow the page: https://www.producthunt.com/products/stellarch
We're not asking you to upvote. Product Hunt doesn't allow makers to solicit votes, and the launch is still weeks out anyway. Right now, the follow is all that counts.
How winners are drawn, and how you claim
The entry window runs one week from today. Every task you finish drops a ticket in the pool: follow and comment for your first, sign up for the alpha for a second, back us on Product Hunt for a third. More tickets mean more chances, and the draw can pull the same name more than once, so double and triple wins are on the table. When the window closes, we pull the 100 Genesis packs and the ten 1,000-STEL stakes from every ticket in the pool.
Your guaranteed rewards and anything you win in the draw land on your account and are claimed during the closed alpha, through the in-game claim screen. That claim screen and the STEL staking it pays into are the two pieces we're building right now, which is exactly why the prizes settle in the alpha and not a day before. Claim them in the alpha and they carry through to release. Leave them unclaimed and they're forfeited.

A quick word on the STEL
STEL is your stake in Stellarch: governance and staking, the long game. We're upfront that the rewards are phased. SGC is the ranked reward at launch, and STEL becomes the ranked reward, with a STEL-to-SGC burn path, once the economy is steady. Winning a staked STEL position now puts you on the right side of that from the start.
What you win here is real, ownable, and yours to trade once the lock lifts.

Your enlistment checklist
Run the list. Each step stacks on the last.
- Follow @stellarch on Hive.
- Comment on this post with the Hive account you will play the alpha with. (1 guaranteed pack plus your first draw ticket.)
- Enlist on the closed-alpha waitlist with that same account. (100 staked STEL plus a second draw ticket, earned by playing the alpha.)
- Follow our Product Hunt page, screenshot the follow, post it in your comment. (3 more guaranteed packs plus a third draw ticket.)
Run all four and you're holding four guaranteed packs, a staked STEL position, The First Pilot card, and three tickets in the draw before you've played a single match.

The airlock opens for the alpha soon. Be on the roster when it does.
