📊 Strategy & Math: Understanding Your Options Your reward
The amount of ITL you eventually receive — depends greatly on patience 🕰️.
The longer you’re willing to lock and vest your tokens, the better the conversion rate becomes.
The Least Patient (0-Year Lock): 160 ITLG → 1 ITL
The Most Patient (5-Year Lock): 1.125 ITLG → 1 ITL
Now, let’s see how this affects a holder with 100,000 ITLG. The difference in outcomes is significant 📈.
📌 Scenario 1: The “Immediate Liquidity” Strategy
(0-Year Lock + 60-Month Vesting)
» The Math: 60 ITLG → 1 ITL
» Total Yield: ~1,667 ITL
» How it works: No lock period. Rewards start immediately, releasing about 28 ITL monthly for 5 years 📆.
» The Takeaway: Lower overall ITL, but instant access to liquidity 💧.
📌 Scenario 2: The “Balanced Horizon” Strategy
(2-Year Lock + 36-Month Vesting)
» The Math: 21.25 ITLG → 1 ITL
» Total Yield: ~4,706 ITL
» How it works: No rewards for the first 2 years ⏸️. After that, around 131 ITL is distributed monthly for 3 years.
» The Takeaway: A solid middle option, delivering nearly 3× more ITL than Scenario 1 📊.
📌 Scenario 3: The “Diamond Hands” Strategy 💎🙌
(5-Year Lock + 60-Month Vesting)
» The Math: 1.875 ITLG → 1 ITL
» Total Yield: ~53,333 ITL
» How it works: No rewards for 5 years 🧘. Then about 889 ITL is released monthly over the next 5 years.
» The Takeaway: Built for long-term believers. Over 30× more ITL than Scenario 1 through patience alone 🚀.
(Reminder: “Locking” refers to the waiting period before rewards begin. “Vesting” is the gradual monthly release of tokens.)
📜 The Golden Rules of the Staking Contract
To ensure fairness, transparency, and security, these rules apply ⚖️:
🔄 vITLG & ITLG Equivalence: Both tokens are essentially the same. Migration into a unified ITLG standard will happen automatically over time with no loss in value.
✅ Full Flexibility: You can divide your ITLG across multiple strategies. For example: combining short-term liquidity with long-term growth 📂.
🔓 Code Is Law: Once your contract is finalized, the terms cannot be changed. No one — not even the InterLink team — can modify your schedule or rates 🧱.
