iExec To Accelerate Growth With Expanded RLC Token Utility & Incentives
Paris, France, May 23rd, 2025, Chainwire
iExec, the Web3 infrastructure company building the trust layer for DePIN and AI, announced multiple new initiatives at Tokenomics Week to enhance the utility of its native token RLC and turbocharge ecosystem growth.
From new staking mechanisms to circular revenue models and a simpler way for builders to use RLC, the updates are designed to expand the token’s role in the ecosystem and drive greater adoption of privacy-focused decentralized applications. They deliver on a number of milestones within iExec’s previously announced 2025 roadmap, which aims to accelerate innovation and strengthen its position as the foundation for confidential computing.
With the launch of the iExec Voucher system, RLC is now more central than ever to the developer journey. Instead of manual token handling or gas fees, fixed-price vouchers preloaded with RLC make it easier for builders to onboard and more predictable for teams to scale.
For holders, it means every build, test, and launch drives real usage of the token.
Even better: new developers can apply for a free BUILD voucher to start developing, then move to EARN vouchers as they go live – putting RLC to work at every step.
The iExec Voucher system is also a key pillar of iExec’s new circular revenue-sharing model, designed to give back to those who power the ecosystem.
Instead of revenue flowing in just one direction, voucher sales generate real income that is redistributed to builders and end users, based on their activity and contribution. The more someone builds or interacts within the network, the more they can earn.
It’s a mechanism that rewards usage, strengthens the community, and reinforces the utility of RLC as the fuel behind every transaction.
Alongside these incentives, iExec is offering boosted rewards through its existing Privacy Pass, a novel staking program that allows users to earn RLC tokens by receiving marketing emails. The innovative inbox monetization program utilizes confidential computing to ensure user privacy by masking their email address while giving them full control over which campaigns they want to participate in.
Now, select campaigns are offering boosted rewards based on how many RLC tokens users hold in their wallets. For a limited time, the more RLC someone holds, the higher the rewards will go, providing greater value to iExec’s most loyal users and encouraging greater use of privacy-focused tools.
Yet more incentives are on offer through iExec’s Builder Incentive Program, which provides a steady stream of income for developers who grow a loyal user base for their dApps. The way it works is simple – the greater the engagement on their dApps, the more data they protect, the higher their RLC rewards will be.
These incentives go hand-in-hand with the recent launch of iExec’s 1 million RLC Ecosystem Fund, which delivers initial funding and support for developers to transform their ideas into fully-fledged, privacy-focused dApps.
“We have a clear focus on increasing RLC’s utility and growing its value while expanding access to our decentralized privacy infrastructure,” said Gilles Fedak, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of iExec. “Our latest initiatives encourage people to use RLC instead of holding it, driving a circular token economy that creates value through utility.”
The increased utility of RLC lays the foundations for a more sustainable and impactful iExec economy, complementing the team’s broader efforts to expand its ecosystem. At the same time, iExec will continue to expand its collaborations within the decentralized ecosystem, building on existing ties with the Confidential Computing Consortium and Nvidia to boost adoption of its network.
