Staking & Locking

Staking & Locking

Stake MONP to unlock access, boost your tier, and earn exclusive perks — the foundation of participation in the Monad PUMP ecosystem.

💰 What Is MONP Staking?

Staking MONP is how users gain power and status in the ecosystem. It determines your Tier, unlocks benefits, and supports the long-term health of the platform.

By staking, users:

• Get access to IDOs (including guaranteed and priority rounds)

• Increase allocation size

• Receive airdrops and revenue sharing

• Gain access to referral and NFT perks

🧩 Staking Options

Monad PUMP supports two staking types:

Type	Lock Period	Flexibility	Multiplier	Use Case
Flexible	None	Unstake anytime	1.0x	Quick access, no bonus
Locked	3/6/12 months	Time-locked	1.25x–2.0x	Higher tier power, exclusive benefits

---

🧮 Staking Power Formula

To determine your effective staking power, we apply:

initial Power = MONP Staked × Lock Multiplier

Lock Period	Multiplier
No Lock	1.0x
3 months	1.25x
6 months	1.5x
12 months	2.0x

Example: 20,000 MONP locked for 6 months = 30,000 Power This could qualify you for a higher tier than with flexible staking.

🔄 Managing Stakes

Users can:

• Stake additional MONP anytime

• Extend existing locks to increase multiplier

• Withdraw flexible stakes anytime

• View all activity in the Staking Dashboard

Locked stakes are non-withdrawable until the timer ends. After expiration, tokens become claimable with one click.

---

⏱ Lock Timer UI

• Countdown for each locked stake

• Remaining lock time

• Expected unlock date

• Post-expiry: “Claim” button appears

---

⚠️ Auto Tier Downgrade

If your effective Power drops below the threshold of your current tier:

• You’ll receive a grace period (e.g. 48h) to restake

• If you don’t restake, your tier will downgrade automatically

• This prevents gaming the system and keeps tiers fair
