Mining control
Commit the token to establish mining power. It climbs from — to 100% over — and sets your share of every deposit. A position only becomes active at the next epoch boundary.
Adding to your stake restarts the ramp on the whole position. A partial withdrawal keeps your progress.
One distribution every —
Only fully elapsed epochs are distributed. Depositing right before someone funds the vault therefore earns nothing from it: the last-second window is closed without needing a lockup.
Elapsed epochs are waiting to be distributed. sync() is open to anyone, with no privilege.
Two things worth seeing before you commit.
Both drawings below are the real parameters of the vault you are looking at, read from the contract — not an illustration of how it might work.
Your stake is worth — of itself on day one and reaches its full weight after —. Withdrawing part of it keeps the progress; adding to it starts the climb again.
A deposit does not earn from the epoch it lands in. It starts at the next boundary, which closes the last-second window without needing a lockup. One epoch is —.
Three rules that catch people out
Activation is one epoch later
A stake only counts from the boundary after it was deposited. The epoch in progress is not yours, not even partly.
Adding restarts the ramp
A second stake merges into the first and starts again from the floor, on the whole position. A partial withdrawal keeps your progress.
Withdrawal is free
A withdrawal returns exactly what was committed. Rewards already earned stay claimable afterwards.
