# 2025-04-23: Yay! EigenLayer Points Now Live for StakeStone Vault Stakers

Yay! has launched its own point tracking system to manage EigenLayer rewards earned through ETH staking and liquidity providing activities specifically within the StakeStone vault, as part of the Yay! ecosystem.

## What Are Yay! EigenLayer Points?

Yay! EigenLayer Points are earned when you stake ETH in the StakeStone vault, or when you provide liquidity using yaySTONE. These points determine your eligibility for $EIGEN token rewards.

## Why a New Point System?

Previously, all EigenLayer points were managed by StakeStone. As Yay! continues to grow, we’ve introduced our own point system—*Yay! EigenLayer Points*—to give users better visibility, faster updates, and support for more types of contributions like LPs. This also allows Yay! to expand its reward system more flexibly in the future. All points earned under this system are calculated and displayed directly in your Yay! Dashboard.

## Season Timeline

* **Season 1:** December 8, 2024 – April 30, 2025
  * Claiming for Season 1 rewards will open a few weeks *after the season ends*. A separate announcement will include full instructions.
* **Season 2:** Begins immediately after Season 1 ends

## How to Earn Points
