Usual Locking Module

USUALx Locking allows holders to commit their staked USUAL for fixed durations to access the protocol’s revenue distributions. Only locked USUALx earns revenue. Longer commitments increase a user’s relative share of the revenue stream.

Users can lock USUALx for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months, each duration offering a higher boost applied solely to revenue redistribution. These boosts do not affect governance weight or token supply.

Locks are immutable until expiration, reinforcing predictable long-term participation. At maturity, the USUALx becomes fully liquid and can be withdrawn or re-locked. Multiple lock positions can be created with different amounts and durations.

This mechanism channels protocol revenues toward committed participants, aligning incentives and promoting a healthier long-term distribution of rewards.
