πŸš€Boosting

The TILT Platform features a dual-boost system:

  • Time Boost: Your boost increases (up to 2x) the longer you stake.

  • TILT Boost: Lock TILT to further boost (up to 2.5x).

This system rewards both long-term staking and commitment via TILT locking. Together, these combine into a single multiplier called your Final boost.

1

Time Boost (up to 2x)

TILT’s staking system rewards long-term commitment with a time-based boost, increasing your staking yield up to a maximum of 2x. This is inspired by the Yearn Boosted Staker.

You can reach the maximum time boost of 2x after 4 weeks from depositing your tokens into the staking contract.

Each deposit earns a staking weight, which increases over time. This weight is calculated based on both the amount staked and how long it has been staked.

You become eligible to earn rewards immediately β€” they are streamed in real-time from the moment you stake, even before your time boost has fully ramped up.

Time boost formula

timeBoost = 1 + (min(elapsedTime, 4 weeks) / 4 weeks) 
if timeBoost > 2.0: timeBoost = 2.0

Your effective staking weight

StakingWeight = Stake Γ— timeBoost

What Happens with Multiple Deposits or Withdrawals?

Each deposit creates a separate position with its own weight growth curve. For example, if you deposit 100 tokens every week for four weeks, you’ll have four separate deposits, each moving through the time boost process independently.

When you withdraw, the contract will always remove from your most recent (lowest weighted) deposit first, allowing your older, higher-boosted deposits to keep growing.

Your total staking weight is the sum of all active deposit weights, and the global system weight is the sum of weights from all users.

TILT Boost (up to 2.5x)

You can boost rewards through TILT locking. The more TILT you lock and the longer you lock it (up to 16 weeks), the more TILT Weight you receive β€” which can increase your staking boost.

This model is inspired by vote weight mechanics found in protocols like StakeDAO and Curve.

Your TILT Boost is determined by your TILT Weight relative to other users in the system and the staking pool you are in.

To benefit from TILT Boost:

  • You must have an active lock

  • Your TILT Weight must be above 0

  • You must stake in a compatible boost-enabled pool

Freezing your lock is optional but recommended if you want a consistent boost experience.

Combining Boosts (up to 5x)

Your total boost is calculated as:

  • ⏳ Your Time Boost (up to 2x)

  • πŸ“ˆ Your TILT Boost (up to 2.5x)

Total Boost = timeBoost Γ— tiltBoost

How boost impacts your rewards

Your effective share of rewards (userShares) is calculated as:

userShares =
  0.4 Γ— (StakedAmount Γ— timeBoost) + 0.6 Γ— totalTcvxWeight Γ— (userTiltWeight / totalTiltWeight)

The userShares formula is similar to the veCRV and StakeDAO reward models, with the key difference being the addition of a Time Boost factor applied to the staked asset β€” rewarding both long-term locking and active staking duration.

  • stakedAmount: the amount of tokens you have staked (example: tCVX)

  • timeBoost: up to 2.0x, based on how long you’ve staked

  • userTiltWeight: how much TILT Weight you hold from locking

  • totalTiltWeight: sum of all users’ TILT Weight

  • totalStakedWeight: total boostable staking weight in the pool (used for normalization)

The reward share formula is designed to ensure fairness while rewarding long-term participation. It applies caps to both components of boost:

  • ⏳ Time Boost is capped at 2.0Γ—

  • πŸ”’ TILT Boost is capped at 2.5Γ— relative to your staked amount

  • Maximum Combined Boost: 5.0x

This means:

  • Your reward share from locked TILT cannot exceed 2.5Γ— your base stake.

  • When combined with a fully matured Time Boost (2.0Γ—), your total effective staking power can reach up to 5.0Γ—.

  • This structure prevents those with TILT Boost from overwhelming the system while still rewarding users who stake and lock over time.

This dual-boost model ensures a fair and balanced system β€” while locking TILT provides additional benefits, users can still earn meaningful rewards through Time Boost alone by simply staking and remaining active over time.
