Locking ARCHERY

Time and voting power

A timed lock's voting power depends on its locked ARCHERY and remaining duration, with a maximum duration of four years. Expiry is rounded to protocol week boundaries. The NFT represents the lock; it is not an immediately redeemable USDC balance.

Permanent locks

A permanent lock removes timed voting-power decay. Unlocking permanent status starts the protocol's timed unlock path rather than releasing the tokens immediately. Review the resulting unlock timestamp before changing status.

Manage the position

• Increase the locked amount or extend a timed lock within the contract limits.
• Verify NFT ownership and approvals before transferring or changing a lock.
• Withdraw a timed lock only after its unlock conditions are satisfied.
• A rebase claim can increase the locked ARCHERY amount; it is not interchangeable with a liquid trading-fee claim.
