LP Time-Lock Boost

Lock a full-range position for weeks and earn boosted rewards from a budget the creator or a partner funds.

On this page

LPs stake a full-range position of a Hookr pool, lock it for a number of weeks and earn rewards on boosted liquidity. The rewards come from a budget the creator, a partner or Hookr funds. Each pool has one gauge, with its own positions, budget and accounting.

What a gauge fixes

The owner of the launch that opened the pool creates its gauge, or Hookr does. The terms are fixed for good.

TermRange
Reward tokenOne on the reward-token list
LockFrom the gauge's shortest lock to its longest, at most 104 weeks
Boost1x at the shortest lock, rising in a straight line to the gauge's top boost at the longest, at most 3x
Least liquidity per stakeAt least 1,000,000 in the pool's own units, sized against each token's supply so the price stays in range while anyone is staked, and no more than a full-range position could hold
The reward multiplier a stake earns by its lockOn a gauge from a 1 week lock to a 104 weeks lock with a top multiplier of 3x, the multiplier rises in a straight line from 1x to 3x; a 53 weeks lock earns 2.01x.1x2x3x1265378104Lock, in weeks1 week · 1x53 weeks · 2.01x104 weeks · 3xThe reward multiplier a stake earns by its lock1x2x3x153104Lock, in weeks53 weeks · 2.01x
What each lock earns on the widest gauge the contract allows

How rewards flow

  • The gauge's creator, or anyone else, funds it in tranches. Each tranche runs the 1 to 52 weeks its funder picks, rounded up to a week boundary, and pays out evenly; nothing changes it once it starts.
  • A stake earns every second on its liquidity times its boost. A lone stake in a gauge earns its whole emission.
  • A lock ends on a week boundary. The boost ends there too, and the stake keeps earning at 1x.

Staking and withdrawing

  • Only full-range positions of the gauge's own pool can stake, each at least the gauge's least liquidity.
  • A staked position leaves only through its staker, at or after its lock ends. Its staker can move the lock's end later, and the boost becomes the new lock's.
  • The position's fees stay collectable at any time. A pause by Hookr's owner or guardian stops staking, funding and claims, never a withdrawal or a fee collection.
