Before locking your tokens into a staking or vesting pool, take a moment to understand the essentials:
1. Lock Periods Matter
- Most pools include a lock period during which withdrawals are disabled.
- Always check the lock duration before staking.
2. APY Isn’t Fixed
- Especially in dynamic pools, your rewards may fluctuate based on how many people are staking.
3. Early Exit May Not Be Possible
- Some pools do not allow early withdrawals.
- Make sure you’re comfortable committing for the full duration.
4. NFT Boosts Require Holding
- If a pool supports NFT boosts, you must hold the qualifying NFT at the time of claiming to receive the bonus.
5. Compound Pools Need Harvesting
- Compound pools rely on harvest actions to trigger reinvestment.
- Anyone can harvest — and they earn a small bounty for doing so.
6. Vesting Has Its Own Schedule
- In vesting portals, tokens unlock gradually over time.
- You can only claim what has been unlocked, based on the vesting type and cliff.
