What Is a Lock Period?
A lock period is the duration during which your staked funds are committed and cannot be withdrawn. Locked pools offer higher APY in exchange for this commitment. The lock period starts the moment you open the staking position.
Maturity Date
The maturity date is the date your lock period ends and your funds become claimable. It is calculated as:
`Maturity Date = Stake Start Date + Lock Period Duration`
For example, if you stake on June 1 in a 30-day pool, your maturity date is July 1.
What Happens at Maturity
When your stake reaches its maturity date:
- The position is marked as Claimable.
- You navigate to Dashboard → Staking and find the matured position.
- Click Claim to return the principal plus all accrued rewards to your account balance.
- The funds are immediately available for withdrawal or restaking.
If you do not claim immediately, your position continues to accrue rewards at the original APY rate until you do.
Early Withdrawal
Locked pools do not permit early withdrawal. This is a core feature — the lock period is what allows the platform to offer the higher APY. If you anticipate needing access to your funds, use the Flexible pool instead.
