How does the vesting schedule to convert xTORCH into TORCH work?

You must select a vesting schedule to convert your xTORCH into TORCH. The minimum vesting duration is 15 days which redeems your xTORCH for TORCH at a 1:0.5 ratio (50% TORCH output). maximum duration is 180 days which redeems your xTORCH at a 1:1 ratio (100% TORCH output). As your xTORCH enters its vesting period, 50% of the amount is automatically staked in dividends, earning you additional rewards for the duration of the vesting period.

How to utilize xTORCH Plugins?

What are the benefits of yield booster, and how does it work?

Users can boost their APR emissions by allocating xTORCH to a specific spNFT position. The boost in xTORCH allocation depends on the number of users allocating to a particular asset. Note that a higher number of users allocating xTORCH to a position will result in a lower APR, as the boost is shared among users.

Does the dividends epoch (cycle) always consist of 7 days?

Yes, the dividends epoch always lasts for 7 days.
