# 7.11 EVT Commitment Lock

EVT Commitment Lock is an always-on program that lets you Lock the EVT you hold for a set period and build Contribution Score based on the amount and term you choose.

Choose from 90, 180, or 360 days and take part in the EVT cycle over time, on your own terms.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Once a Lock is confirmed, it cannot be ended early before the selected term reaches maturity. EVT is not returned automatically at maturity, so you must perform the Unlock action yourself.

| Lock Start         | When each Commitment Lock is confirmed                                   |
| Early Unlock       | Not available                                                            |
| Automatic Renewal  | None                                                                     |
| At Maturity        | Perform the Unlock action yourself to return EVT to your Spending Wallet |
| Contribution Score | Added daily based on the Lock term and amount                            |
| TAIYAKI (Uncommon) | Not granted                                                              |
| White TAIYAKI Draw | Not eligible                                                             |

Once the program opens, you can join Commitment Lock at any time. Unlike a Season, there is no application form or allocation process.

### Contribution Score by Lock Term

Contribution Score is calculated for every 250 EVT.

| Lock Term | Contribution Score per 250 EVT | Total for Full Term |
| --------: | -----------------------------: | ------------------: |
|   90 days |                     30 pts/day |           2,700 pts |
|  180 days |                     36 pts/day |           6,480 pts |
|  360 days |                     45 pts/day |          16,200 pts |

The longer the Lock term, the higher the daily Contribution Score per 250 EVT.

#### Example Calculation

If you Lock 1,000 EVT for 180 days:

```
1,000 EVT ÷ 250 EVT = 4 units
4 units × 36 pts/day = 144 pts/day
144 pts/day × 180 days = 25,920 pts
```

Contribution Score is one of the criteria used to determine future SFT allocations. Details such as the allocation method, amount, and timing will be announced once they are determined.

### How It Differs from Season 3 Reward Lock

| Item               | Season 3 Reward Lock                                       | Commitment Lock                      |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Program Type       | Limited-time Reward Lock                                   | Always-on Lock program               |
| How to Join        | Lock the confirmed amount after application and allocation | Lock directly through the Claim Site |
| Lock Term          | 90 days                                                    | Choose 90, 180, or 360 days          |
| Lock Increment     | Increments of 250 EVT                                      | Increments of 250 EVT                |
| Contribution Score | 30 pts/day per 250 EVT                                     | 30, 36, or 45 pts/day per 250 EVT    |
| TAIYAKI (Uncommon) | 1 per 250 EVT                                              | Not granted                          |
| White TAIYAKI Draw | Available to users who meet the conditions                 | Not eligible                         |

Commitment Lock is not an additional application round or extension of Season 3. It is not a Reward Lock designed around TAIYAKI. Instead, it records the term and amount you choose through Contribution Score and Badges.

***

### Combined Active Lock Cap

The combined amount of currently active Season 3 Reward Locks and Commitment Locks is capped at 10,000 EVT per SyFu account.

```
Currently active Season Reward Locks
+ Currently active Commitment Locks
≤ 10,000 EVT
```

* Matured Locks are not included in this cap.
* A new Commitment Lock will not be confirmed if it would bring the total above 10,000 EVT.
* The 10,000 EVT limit applies to the total amount currently Locked, not your historical cumulative Lock amount.

{% hint style="info" %}
The 10,000 EVT limit is the combined cap for active Locks. It is separate from the EVT ENDURANCE Badge ranks. In the current phase, EVT ENDURANCE has four ranks: 1K, 3K, 5K, and 7K.
{% endhint %}

***

### Multiple Commitment Locks

You can hold multiple Commitment Locks at the same time, provided you remain within the cap.

A new Lock does not add to or merge with an existing Lock. Each Lock is managed separately, including its amount, term, start date and time, maturity date and time, and Contribution Score rate.

#### Example

```
Commitment Lock A: 7,000 EVT / 360 days
Commitment Lock B: 3,000 EVT / 90 days
Total currently active Locks: 10,000 EVT
```

When Lock B reaches maturity after 90 days, its 3,000 EVT is removed from the cap calculation. You can then start a new Commitment Lock within the newly available capacity.

However, before you can use the matured EVT again, you must perform the Unlock action yourself and return it to your Spending Wallet.

You cannot add EVT to an existing Lock later or change its term.

***

### Unlocking After Maturity

Once the selected term reaches maturity, the Lock becomes available to Unlock.

1. Find the matured Lock on the Claim Site
2. Perform the Unlock action
3. After the process completes, confirm that the EVT has returned to your Spending Wallet

{% hint style="warning" %}
EVT does not return to your Spending Wallet automatically when the Lock reaches maturity. You must perform the Unlock action yourself.
{% endhint %}

If you want to Lock the same EVT again after Unlocking it, select a new term and amount and create a new Commitment Lock. There is no automatic renewal or automatic relocking.

***

### EVT LOCK BADGES

Your EVT Lock activity is recorded through Badges when a confirmed Lock meets the relevant conditions.

| Badge         | Key Requirement                                                                                 |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| EVT CATALYST  | A single qualifying Lock is confirmed for at least 250 EVT and at least 90 days                 |
| EVT ANCHOR    | A single qualifying Lock is confirmed for at least 1,000 EVT                                    |
| EVT ENDURANCE | Your cumulative confirmed amount in 360-day Commitment Locks reaches the 1K, 3K, 5K, or 7K rank |

Badges are Achievements that record your participation and continued activity in EVT Lock.

#### Can I change the amount or term after Locking?

#### Can I hold multiple Locks at the same time?

Yes. However, the combined amount of currently active Season 3 Reward Locks and Commitment Locks is capped at 10,000 EVT per SyFu account.

#### Is EVT returned automatically when a Lock reaches maturity?

No. Find the matured Lock on the Claim Site and perform the Unlock action yourself. After the process completes, the EVT will return to your Spending Wallet.

#### Will I receive TAIYAKI through Commitment Lock?

No. Commitment Lock does not grant TAIYAKI (Uncommon) and is not eligible for the White TAIYAKI Draw.

#### Do 90-day and 180-day Locks count toward EVT ENDURANCE?

No. Only confirmed 360-day Commitment Locks count toward your cumulative EVT ENDURANCE amount.

#### If I Lock 10,000 EVT for 360 days, will I receive EVT ENDURANCE 10K?

There is no EVT ENDURANCE 10K in the current phase. EVT ENDURANCE is assessed at 1K, 3K, 5K, and 7K based on your cumulative confirmed amount in 360-day Commitment Locks, with 7K as the current highest rank. The 10,000 EVT figure is the combined cap for active Season 3 Reward Locks and Commitment Locks.

#### Do matured Locks count toward the 10,000 EVT cap?

No. Matured Locks are removed from the cap calculation. However, before you can reuse that EVT, you must perform the Unlock action manually and return it to your Spending Wallet.
