Time-Based Scaling Ownership • Legacy • Access Control duration-driven reward amplification Time-Based Scaling is a protocol design principle where access, yield, influence, or utility increases based on how long a user holds, stakes, or

  Layered Utility Ownership • Legacy • Access Control • Sovereignty staged access architecture for sustained engagement Layered Utility is a system design where a token, NFT, or protocol role grants increasing functionality or privilege

  Behavioral Incentives Ownership • Legacy • Access Control action-reward reinforcement systems Behavioral Incentives are tokenized or protocol-level reward mechanisms designed to shape user behavior toward long-term, aligned, and value-generating actions. These systems encourage specific

  Staking Duration Ownership • Legacy • Access Control • Sovereignty time-based commitment metric Staking Duration refers to the length of time a user commits tokens to a staking pool, vault, or protocol mechanism. It’s

  Milestone-Based Access progress-unlock utility model achievement-gated feature activation Milestone-Based Access is a gated permission system where users unlock tools, features, or yield opportunities only after achieving predefined actions or thresholds. These milestones may include

  Protocol Withdrawal Fees Ownership • Legacy • Access Control • Sovereignty exit-friction mechanism Protocol Withdrawal Fees are charges applied when a user exits a staking pool, farm, or protocol vault. These fees serve as

  Staking Disincentives Ownership • Legacy • Access Control • Sovereignty penalty-weighted staking mechanics Staking Disincentives are on-chain mechanisms that discourage short-term, opportunistic, or exploitative staking behavior. These can include early withdrawal penalties, cooldown periods,

  Retention Pressure Ownership • Legacy • Access Control • Sovereignty commitment-reinforcing protocol mechanic Retention Pressure refers to the system-wide incentives, deterrents, or psychological cues that encourage users to hold, stake, or remain active within

  Behavioral Deterrent Ownership • Legacy • Access Control • Sovereignty incentive-aligned discouragement mechanism Behavioral Deterrent refers to a protocol-level mechanism or rule structure that discourages undesirable actions by reducing rewards, restricting access, or applying

  Access Maturity Curves Ownership • Legacy • Access Control time-scaled permission architecture Access Maturity Curves are systems that unlock features, rights, or privileges based on how long a user has held or staked an
