USUALx Locking Is Live

·

July 7, 2025

The new Lock & Boost system for USUALx is now available in the Usual dApp.

Following UIP-9, users can now lock their USUALx for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months to receive boosted Revenue Switch rewards in USD0, claimable weekly. The longer the lock, the higher the boost, with up to 8x weighting for 12-month commitments.

This marks a shift toward a more conviction-weighted reward model. Rewards are now distributed based on stake x lock duration, ensuring long-term participants receive a proportionally larger share of protocol revenue.

The feature is available under the “Lock” tab on the Swap page. Choose your term, commit your USUALx, and claim your place in the new reward era.
