🚀TILT Locking and Lock Weight

This section explains how TILT Locking works. It also covers optional boost delegation to vaults or users for passive yield strategies.

Locking TILT

Locking TILT gives you TILT Weight, which powers one part of your boost and reward potential in the system. The longer you lock and the more TILT you commit, the more TILT Weight you receive.

TILT’s locking system is designed to be flexible and efficient — allowing you to manage multiple locks, extend durations, freeze decay, and tailor your strategy to fit your goals. TILT Weight is a key input for boosting your staking rewards.

Lock Management

• Lock weight is acquired by locking TILT tokens for a specified number of weeks. The term "weeks" denotes the duration required before the tokens become withdrawable.

• The maximum duration for a lock is 16 weeks.

• Each Thursday, the lock duration reduces by one week. When it reaches zero weeks, tokens can be withdrawn.

• Multiple locks can be created and managed independently.

TILT Weight Formula

Your weight increases based on both the amount locked and the remaining duration:

TILT Weight = SUM(weeksRemaining * balance_lock * 100)

Freezing your lock weight

Freezing your locks is an optional feature that lets you pause decay and maintain a stable TILT Weight — ideal for long-term lockers and integrators.

How Freezing Works

• All active locks are merged into a single frozen position. Weight decay is paused at the selected duration.

• The freeze duration must be at least 2 weeks, or the duration of your shortest active lock — whichever is greater.

• While frozen, you cannot unlock tokens. You may unfreeze at any time.

After unfreezing, your lock behaves like a new lock set at the same duration. It begins decaying weekly again (every Thursday).

Withdrawing early from Locked Positions

It is possible to exit a locked position early by paying a withdrawal fee. The fee to exit early starts at 100% and decays linearly based on the number of weeks remaining until the tokens unlock. The exact calculation used is:

fee_amount = (total_amount * weeks_to_unlock) / 16

Penalty withdrawals are always processed starting with the lock that will expire soonest. Locks for 16 weeks are ignored, because the penalty to withdraw would be 100%.

Penalty fees are sent to burn address.

Boosting with TILT

TILT Weight is used to increase your effective staking boost in supported pools. The higher your TILT Weight relative to others, the higher your individual boost.

Boost is dynamically calculated and applied automatically to eligible staking positions

• TILT Boost = Function of your TILT Weight vs. global weight

• More TILT locked and longer duration = higher boost

• Boost affects staking rewards in selected pools

• For detailed information refer to Boost Mechanics

Delegation

If you aren’t using your boost directly (or lack tCVX), you can delegate your TILT Weight to a vault or user. This may enable you to receive rewards on your locked TILT.

How it works

• Freeze your lock

• Delegate your boost to an eligible vault or user

• The vault may borrow your boost to amplify its own performance

• You may receive a share of performance fees from that vault

Delegation is permissionless, and vault behavior may vary. For more information Refer to Vaults

Rewards from delegation is not guaranteed. It varies based on vault performance, participation rates, execution efficiency, and the party to whom you delegate your boost.

Examples:

Lock 50 TILT for 16 weeks

16 * 50 * 100 = 80,000 TILT Weight

Lock 100 TILT for 10 weeks

10 * 100 * 100 = 100,000 TILT Weight

Lock 200 TILT for 4 weeks

4 * 200 * 100 = 80,000 TILT Weight

Multiple Locks: 50 TILT for 16 weeks + 50 TILT for 8 weeks

(16 * 50 * 100) + (8 * 50 * 100) = 80,000 + 40,000 = 120,000 TILT Weight

Users can achieve similar TILT Weight using very different combinations of tokens and durations.

User A locks 1,600 TILT for 2 weeks (minimum)

TILT Weight = 2 × 1,600 × 100 = 320,000

User B locks 200 TILT for 16 weeks (maximum)

TILT Weight = 16 × 200 × 100 = 320,000

Both users receive the same TILT Weight — through different means.

This illustrates the flexibility of the system — users can choose between locking more TILT for a shorter time or less TILT for a longer period, depending on whether they prioritize capital efficiency or liquidity.
