TRUTH Staking — How It Works

TRUTH staking runs as a fixed seasonal campaign with a global calendar. That means unlock dates are the same for everyone, based on the season schedule (not “X days from when you stake”).

This staking season is synced with the TRUTH Holder Season 1 campaign timing (104 days total) so checkpoints align.

Campaign Period & Unlock Dates

Season start: 3 Jan 2026

Checkpoint 1 (Day 52 unlock): 24 Feb 2026

Checkpoint 2 (Day 104 unlock): 17 Apr 2026

In campaign terms:

Day 52 = 7 days + 45 days
Day 104 = 7 days + 45 days + 7 days + 45 days

Reward Pool

Total staking reward pool: 10,000,000 $TRUTH
Rewards are dynamic, meaning your expected APR can change based on:
- how many people are staking
- how much they stake
- how many users exit at the first unlock date

Staking Tiers (Tick Boost)

When you stake, you choose one of two tiers:

1) Tier 1 — Unlock at Day 52 (1x)

Unlock date: 24 Feb 2026
Tick boost: 1.0x

2) Tier 2 — Unlock at Day 104 (2x)

Unlock date: 17 Apr 2026
Tick boost: 2.0x

Tier 2 is the “Diamond Hands” option — it has the higher boost because it commits to the full season.

How Staking Affects Tick Points

Staking does not change how token rewards are distributed (that works like regular staking).

What staking changes is your Tick Points, by applying a multiplier based on your chosen unlock tier:

Tier 1 (Day 52): 1x tick boost
Tier 2 (Day 104): 2x tick boost

Example (Staking Tick Points)

Assume:

You stake 50,000 $TRUTH
Tick conversion factor = 0.01 (for cleaner numbers)

Scale the tokens:

scaled = 50,000 × 0.01 = 500
Apply tier multiplier:

Tier 1 tick points: 500 × 1 = 500
Tier 2 tick points: 500 × 2 = 1000

So with the same staked amount, Tier 2 gives 2x more tick points than Tier 1.

Late Joiners (Yes, You Can Join Later)

You can stake after the season starts, but the unlock dates are still fixed:

If you join later, you lock until the same unlock date
You still get the same tier multiplier (1x or 2x)
But your total earned amount and total ticks will be lower because you joined later in the season.
