# Lockup

When depositing into the Huma pool, LPs have the option to **lock up their funds** for a fixed period in exchange for **enhanced Huma Feathers rewards**. Withdrawals are restricted during the lockup period. Once the lockup expires, the position is automatically unlocked, granting immediate access to funds.

When users deposit, users can choose **no lockup**, a **3-month lockup**, or a **6-month lockup**. Users can **always move forward**:

* From no lockup → 3 months or 6 months
* From 3 months → extend to 6 months

However, you **cannot shorten the lockup period**. For example, if you have already made a 6-month commitment, you can't reduce it to 3 months.

Lockup extension gives users **flexibility and control,** allowing users to ease into longer commitments and boost rewards over time without over-committing from day one.

**Lockups enable LPs to demonstrate sustained commitment to the protocol's success. Feathers earning potential scales directly with the duration of participation.**

The table below outlines the available lockup durations and their corresponding reward multipliers:

| Lockup    | Redemption     | Rewards Multiplier |
| --------- | -------------- | ------------------ |
| No Lockup | Redeem anytime | 1x                 |
| 3-month   | After 3 months | 2x\*               |
| 6-month   | After 6 months | 3x\*               |

* During the **promotional period** of the Huma 2.0 launch, these multipliers are elevated to **3x for 3-month** lockups and **5x for 6-month** lockups.

You can earn the lockup multiples only if you use Huma DApp or any other DeFi protocols that have been officially supported by Huma.

## **Restrictions**

Positions with a lockup come with limitations on redemption and transfers:

* **No early redemption**: Locked positions cannot be redeemed through the Huma DApp. Any attempt to bypass this via direct smart contract calls will be rejected. If redemption somehow occurs despite restrictions, **all Feathers earned from that position will be forfeited**.
* **Bonus rewards will be forfeited upon locked token transfer**: If locked tokens are transferred—including actions like swapping on Jupiter or depositing into platforms like Kamino or RateX—the transferred portion will be treated as **unlocked**. This means **any bonus Feathers earned from the lockup will be reverted**.

  **Example**

  Suppose an LP deposits $1,000 in Classic mode with a 3-month lockup during a promotional period offering a **3x Feather multiplier**. This yields **3,000 Feathers per month**.

  After one month, if the LP swaps **$700** of the position on Jupiter for USDC, that portion will be treated as **unlocked from the start**. The revised Feather reward would be:

  * $700 × 1x = 700 Feathers
  * $300 × 3x = 900 Feathers
  * **Total = 1,600 Feathers**

  Since the LP had originally earned 3,000 Feathers, the **extra 1,400 Feathers** gained due to the lockup will be **revoked**.
