🎟️vl-BURST

To participate in voting on Burst proposals, it's necessary to commit your $BURST tokens to a fixed lock-in period, lasting at least 16 weeks. During this time, the locked tokens remain inaccessible until the completion of 16 full epochs.

• Locking your $BURST just before a new epoch begins will result in approximately a 16-week lock period.

• However, if you lock your $BURST during an ongoing epoch, the lock period extends to 16 weeks plus the remaining time until the start of the next epoch.

Epochs on Burst are organized on a weekly basis, starting every Friday at 00:00 UTC. It's important to note that deposits made during the current epoch are not counted towards the vote weight for that epoch. To be eligible for voting, $BURST must be locked during a completed epoch before the commencement of the voting period.

After 16 complete epochs have elapsed, vl-BURST tokens are automatically unlocked. Key points to note:

• Once unlocked, these $BURST tokens remain in the locker contract and do not engage in any activity until the user decides to withdraw them.

• There is an option for unlocked tokens within the locker contract to be re-locked. When tokens are re-locked in this way, their voting weight is assigned to the current epoch, as opposed to being allocated to the subsequent epoch.
