Maturity & Lock Period
Everything you need to know about lock periods and when you can withdraw your funds
What is a Lock Period?
A lock period is the duration for which your principal investment (staked amount) is locked and cannot be withdrawn. This ensures the investment strategy works as designed and guarantees your returns.
Key Point:
While your principal is locked, you can still withdraw your earned returns at any time. Only the original staked amount must remain until maturity.

Understanding Maturity
What Does "Matured" Mean?
Your stake reaches maturity when the lock period ends. At this point, your investment has completed its full cycle, you've earned all the promised returns, and your principal is now unlocked.

- • Principal: Locked
- • Earnings: Withdrawable anytime
- • Daily returns: Still accumulating
After Maturity

- • Principal: Unlocked
- • Earnings: All accumulated
- • Unstake button: Available

Common Questions
What happens if I need my money before maturity?
Early withdrawal of principal is not possible - this is the nature of a lock period. However, you can always withdraw your accumulated earnings. If you need access to your principal, you must wait until the maturity date.
Do I still earn returns after maturity?
No, once your stake reaches maturity, it stops earning returns. At this point, you've received all the guaranteed returns for that tier. You should withdraw your funds and optionally create a new stake to continue earning.
How do I know when my stake will mature?
Your dashboard shows the exact maturity date for each stake, along with a countdown of days remaining. You'll also see a progress bar showing what percentage of the lock period has passed.
Can I have multiple stakes with different maturity dates?
Yes! You can create as many stakes as you want. Each stake has its own lock period and maturity date. This allows you to stagger your investments and have regular maturity dates.
