HiIQ staking
Lock $IQ. Gain HiIQ.
HiIQ is the staking mechanism for $IQ. Locking IQ grants HiIQ, the balance that determines your governance voting power and your share of staking rewards.
How it works
Up to 4 years. Up to 4× HiIQ.
HiIQ follows the veCRV model: lock $IQ for up to 4 years and receive up to 4× your locked amount in HiIQ. The longer the lock, the higher your HiIQ balance, and with it your voting power and reward share.
Estimate
See what a lock returns.
Drag the lock length to see the HiIQ you would receive for 1,000 IQ, and the boost multiplier that comes with it. The same curve applies at any size.
Locks can be extended at any time. Extending resets the decay and restores the boost.

from 1,000 IQ locked
Decay
HiIQ decays as your lock matures.
Your HiIQ balance decreases linearly as the lock approaches expiry, reaching 1:1 with your locked IQ at zero time remaining. Extending a lock restores the boost.
HiIQ is non-transferable. It does not trade on markets; it is an account-based measure of how long your IQ stays locked.
Earn IQ, proportional to HiIQ
Stakers earn additional IQ, distributed proportionally to HiIQ balance. A share of ecosystem platform fees may be burned or redistributed to stakers, a deflationary mechanism for $IQ.
