Protocol Overview
What Is the Olive Branch Network?
The Olive Branch Network is a protocol on Base that allows people to earn staking rewards while helping fund real nonprofit organizations through the protocol itself.

The Core Idea
Most financial systems separate personal incentive from public good. the Olive Branch Network is built on a different premise: personal reward and public impact do not have to be two separate forces.
Instead of asking people to build their own position first and think about impact later, the Olive Branch Network connects both at the protocol level. Users stake OBN, earn rewards, and help direct funding toward nonprofit organizations through the way the network is designed.
In simple terms, it is a model where participation is meant to benefit both the individual and something beyond the individual.
How the Olive Branch Network Works
Users acquire OBN on Base
OBN is the token used within the Olive Branch Network. Users interact with the staking protocol directly through the OBN App using the OBN token on Base-compatible wallets.
Users stake into a nonprofit-linked pool
Each staking pool is connected to a nonprofit wallet. When a user deposits OBN into one of these pools, that stake begins participating in the network’s reward system. This is how user participation becomes connected to a real organization.
Rewards follow a declining emission schedule
Staking rewards are generated by a time-based emission model built into the protocol.
- Years 1 & 2: 10% APY
- Years 3 & 4: 7.5% APY
- Years 5 & 6: 5% APY
- Years 7 & 8: 2.5% APY
- Years 9 & 10: 1.25% APY
The path is transparent for ten years, and after year 10 the community will vote on what comes next.
Rewards are split by design
When rewards are minted through staking activity, the distribution is built directly into the protocol:
- 88% to stakers
- 10% to the selected nonprofit pool
- 1% to the charity fund
- 1% to the treasury
This is the core of the model. User participation and nonprofit support are not separate outcomes. They happen together inside the same reward flow.
Users earn while supporting real organizations
The goal is not simply to create another staking product. The goal is to build a system where financial participation can also produce measurable public benefit.
What Makes the Olive Branch Network Different?
- It is designed to align personal incentives with public impact instead of treating them as separate goals.
- The nonprofit connection is built into the reward structure itself rather than added on afterward.
- The token, staking system, and reward flows can be publicly verified onchain.
- The emission schedule is defined in advance, giving the network a more predictable long-term structure.
In Plain English
The Olive Branch Network is built around a simple idea: your money should not only work for you. It should also be able to help fund something real.
Instead of separating personal upside from public good, the Olive Branch Network brings both into the same system. People stake. People earn. Nonprofits receive support through the protocol itself.
At its core, this is a bet on better financial design — one where participation can still reward the individual while also pushing value outward into the real world. That is the deeper message behind the network: capital does not have to serve only itself.
