- Stake it — esORDER staking provides the same benefits as staking $ORDER (VALOR accrual, reward boosts).
- Vest it — Convert esORDER back to liquid $ORDER over a vesting period.
Redemption (vesting)
Converting esORDER to $ORDER requires a vesting period. The conversion ratio increases linearly with the vesting duration:| Option | Duration | Conversion rate |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum vesting | 15 days | 50% |
| Maximum vesting | 90 days | 100% |
Burn mechanics
When you redeem esORDER before the full 90-day vesting period, the unredeemed portion is permanently burned. Example: Bob receives 100 esORDER and redeems after the minimum 15-day vesting. He receives 50 ORDER is burned and removed from circulation.Why escrowed tokens?
- Reduces sell pressure — Rewards vest over time rather than being immediately liquid, unlike typical farming tokens.
- Compounding loop — esORDER can be staked to earn additional rewards, incentivizing users to keep tokens staked rather than vesting immediately.
