Meteora said in its announcement, "Meteora's next chapter begins with the Referral Staking Program," indicating the program is set to launch on 26 Jul 2026 and will let users stake while earning through referrals.
The launch adds a defined staking feature that also connects user referrals to earning activity. That can modestly widen how the platform is used, since new participant growth and on-chain incentives are being linked in one program rather than treated separately.
The practical effect depends on whether users actually adopt it and generate sustained activity. Referral and staking incentives are already common across DeFi, so the announcement shows availability and concrete launch timing, but not yet a clear change in demand or platform economics.
