By committing tokens to a lock period, you accrue rewards based on both the length of your lock and the platform’s revenue. ​ \ Choosing a Lock Duration \ Lock Periods: You select from preset durations (e.g., 30, 45, 90 days). \ Reward Multipliers: Longer locks grant higher APY—the platform rewards long-term commitment with increased yield. \ No Early Withdrawals: Once tokens are locked, they cannot be withdrawn before the period ends. \ ​ \ Post-Lock Choices \ Option A: Withdraw Staked Tokens \ You can end the position, ceasing further rewards. \ Option B: Remain Staked \ Continue earning at the same tier you achieved with your initial lock. There’s no need to relock or forfeit your existing APY multiplier. \ ​ \ Multiple Staking Positions \ You can stake more than once—for instance, 10,000 $MAXI for 15 days, then later 5000 $MAXI for 30 days. Each stake creates its own position with separate lock duration, start date, and APY tier. ​ \ Reward Distribution & Claiming \ Accumulation in TAO: As protocol fees are collected, your staking position accrues rewards in TAO. \ Claim Threshold: Once your rewards exceed a certain threshold (e.g., 10 USD in TAO), you can claim them. Future Governance \ While day-to-day decisions remain with the MaximizeAI team initially, $MAXI holders are expected to gain more influence over time. Potential governance features may include: On-Chain Proposals & Voting \ Allowing token holders to formally propose adjustments to platform fees, new features and more. \ Decentralized Decision-Making \ Gradually shifting control from the development team to token holders. \ No specific timeline is set for these governance rollouts, but active community engagement and security considerations will guide the transition. ​ \ Additional Potential Utilities \ Beyond staking-based revenue sharing, $MAXI may eventually see more utilities, such as: Platform Fee Discounts \ Certain balances or staked amounts could yield reduced acces fees. \ Exclusive Beta Access \ Priority access to upcoming features or pilot programs. \ Community-Driven Grants \ Funding new integrations or community initiatives through DAO-controlled treasury proposals. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://maximize-ai.gitbook.io/maximize-ai/maximize-token/staking-for-revenue-sharing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
