# Lock Duration & Multipliers

#### Participation Period Options

**Every participant** must select a lock period.\
Longer durations earn higher multipliers and greater voting power.\
Continuous rewards accrue at a base 1.0× rate, while bonus portions unlock only at completion.\
Early withdrawal from participation keeps continuous rewards but forfeits all bonus value.

#### Reward Structure (Key Rules)

* Continuous rewards accumulate during the lock period at 1.0×.
* Bonus multiplier rewards are only released once the lock finishes.
* Early withdrawal from participation forfeits all bonus rewards.
* The selected participation period determines voting eligibility.

#### **After lock finishes:** The participation period ends:

* Earns no rewards
* Holds no voting power
* Users may withdraw their locked tokens or start a new participation period.

#### Reward Cap:

For long lock periods like 365 days, final combined reward
\
(emission + network fee bonuses) cannot exceed 15% return per lock cycle.

#### Note:

Bonus portions do not pay continuously.\
They unlock only when the full lock period completes.\
Early withdrawal from participation forfeits bonus rewards while preserving any applicable continuous rewards.
