The blockchain world is buzzing with the latest announcement from Cookie DAO, a project powered by the $COOKIE token that's all about staking for airdrops and mapping market influence through capital and mindshare connections. In a recent tweet, they declared that the Token Generation Event (TGE) for Rayls Labs is now live, marking the end of the pre-TGE phase and kicking off some fresh reward opportunities.

For those new to the scene, Rayls Labs is building a blockchain tailored for financial institutions, bridging traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi). Their $RLS token powers this ecosystem, which includes both private and public chains for scalability and compliance. The TGE is essentially the big launch where the token becomes available, often accompanied by rewards for early participants.

In this collaboration, Cookie DAO is handling rewards for "Snappers" and stakers—folks who've been actively participating in snapshots or staking activities. If you were involved in Phase 1 (the pre-TGE period), you're eligible to claim from a hefty $500K pool in $RLS tokens. But there's a catch: you'll need to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, and there's a 7-day cliff starting December 8, 2025. After that, 50% unlocks immediately, with the rest vesting over five months. This setup helps prevent dumps and encourages long-term holding.

Excitingly, Phase 2 is already underway with a reset leaderboard. It runs until January 26, 2026, and offers $200K in rewards for the top 200 Snappers. The distribution terms mirror Phase 1, so expect the same cliff, unlock, and vesting schedule. This is a great chance for newcomers to jump in, especially if you're holding $COOKIE, as stakers often get a slice of these reward pools—typically 10-20% from similar campaigns.

Why does this matter for meme token fans? $COOKIE itself is trading around $0.05, and projects like this blend meme culture with real utility, like airdrop farming and community-driven rewards. Rayls' focus on institutional adoption could bring more liquidity and legitimacy to the space, potentially boosting tokens like $COOKIE that tie into these ecosystems.

If you're a blockchain practitioner looking to level up, keep an eye on these phases. Staking $COOKIE not only positions you for airdrops but also connects you to innovative projects like Rayls. Head over to the Cookie DAO site to stake and check your eligibility, or visit Rayls Labs for more on their UniFi blockchain vision.
