Lock time

Each staking pool on APY.fun has a lock period—currently 5 days—set by the platform admin. In a future update, communities may be able to choose their own lock time.

Why a 5-day lock?

Inspired by OlympusDAO bonds, the 5-day window strikes a balance:

• Enough commitment to reduce hit-and-run farming

• Better pool stability and healthier price action

• Still flexible: you can claim rewards anytime

How it works

• When you stake, a 5-day timer starts for your wallet in that pool.

• You cannot withdraw until the timer ends.

• You can Harvest $YIELD at any time; harvesting doesn’t affect the lock.

• Staking more before the timer ends resets the timer for your entire staked balance (new 5-day countdown).

• Tips, APR updates, activation state → do not change the timer.

• Once unlocked, you can withdraw partially or fully. Withdrawing does not restart the timer.

Lock applies even before activation. Early stakes help hit the activation goal; rewards start once activated, but the original lock still counts down.

Examples

• Single stake: Stake on Mon 12:00 → Unlocks on Sat 12:00.

• Add more mid-lock: Stake Mon 12:00, add more Wed 18:00 → Timer resets → Unlocks Mon 18:00 (next week).

FAQs

Can I avoid the reset by splitting transactions? No. Lock is per wallet per pool. Any new stake while locked resets the timer.

Does Harvest reset my lock? No. Harvest is independent.

What happens after I withdraw? Your position is closed. If you stake again, a new 5-day timer starts.

Will lock times vary by pool later? That’s planned. Communities may be able to set pool-specific lock times in a future version.
