Stake Locks
What's the Stake Locks Staking option all about?
This is a staking option which enforces a fixed lock-up period for staked tokens, meaning users can only withdraw their tokens after the set duration has passed. During the lock period, stakers continue earning rewards. If the restake feature is enabled, each restaking action resets the lock-up period to its original length. This variant is perfect for projects that aim to create long-term staking incentives and maintain a stable token-holder ecosystem.
Use Cases
Micro-Investing & Yield-Locking in DeFi
A yield aggregator ($FANCYYIELD) enables users to stake stablecoins ($USDC, $DAI) for a fixed term and earn extra governance tokens in return, encouraging long-term liquidity provision.
A staking protocol that locks user funds in stable yield pools while providing fixed-interest staking rewards. This avoids that many DeFi users continue to chase quick yield farming profits and exit quickly, making liquidity unsustainable.
Enterprise & Business Tokenized Memberships
A blockchain-based legal consulting firm offers “Stake-for-Services”, where law firms stake $LEGALX tokens for e.g. 180 days to access on-demand legal consulting, priority case reviews, and smart contract audits.
This way enterprises create staking-based memberships, where users lock their tokens to access VIP features, discounts, or governance participation. This helps businesses in Web3 that struggle to retain high-value customers and token holders.
Deploy StakingE-Commerce & Web3 Marketplace Staking
A crypto sneaker marketplace ($SNKRZ) allows users to stake $SNEAKY for 60 days to unlock exclusive sneaker drops, early bidding access, or maybe a 5% cashback on purchases.
Users lock tokens for discounts, cashback, or priority purchases on NFT marketplaces, Web3 stores, or crypto-based subscriptions. This enables Web3 marketplaces to give incentives to customers to stay engaged long-term.
Biotech & Medical Research Incentives
A blockchain-based Uber competitor ($CHAD) offers users "Stake-to-Save", where they stake $CHAD for 60 days to unlock cheaper fares, zero cancellation fees, and premium customer support.
Users stake transport tokens to access discounted rides, priority driver matching, or tokenized fuel credits. This enabled mobility services to implement loyalty mechanisms that keep riders engaged over time.
Why Should You Consider This Option?
Drives long-term engagement – users commit to staking instead of treating tokens as speculative assets.
Encourages responsible token distribution – ensures rewards go to committed users, not pump-and-dump traders.
Applicable across multiple industries – from gaming and e-commerce to mobility and biotech.
Prevents instant sell-offs – stabilizes token ecosystems while incentivizing meaningful participation.
