Unstaking penalties
When you stake tokens you can choose a basic stake (not time locked), or an evolution stake, where you commit to staking tokens for a fixed period of time in return for a bonus Evolution Multiplier.
When you unstake, you may incur additional penalties, depending on how you have staked your tokens:
Basic Stakes (not time locked) - No additional penalty
Evolution Stakes (time locked) - An additional penalty of 2x total CNFI bonuses earned over the staking period will be incurred.
For example, Jane locks in 5000 tokens for 12 months to earn a 15% evolution bonus on January 1. Over the next six months she earns 100 bonus CNFI. On July 30, she chooses to unstake all of her tokens. She incurs a penalty of 200 CNFI for early unstaking.
