Lockless Boost

Strip does not use lockups to force alignment. Lockups trap capital. They make commitment visible, but they also make exit artificial. Strip uses a different signal. Alignment is measured by sustained participation. Every new user starts at a 1x boost. As alignment continues, the multiplier increases over time. After 60 days of sustained alignment, the position reaches the maximum boost of 20x. Capital can always leave, however: when alignment breaks, the boost resets to 1x. A user can withdraw, unstake, or remove liquidity, but the accumulated multiplier does not follow them out. The system does not punish exit by locking capital. It rewards continuity by making time valuable. Boost applies to STRIP incentive distribution. A user with sustained alignment competes more efficiently for emissions than a user who enters briefly, extracts rewards, and leaves. This creates a different incentive structure. Users are not rewarded for being unable to exit. They are rewarded for choosing not to. Liquidity remains free, but advantage compounds around behavior that stays aligned with the system. The mechanic is deliberately unforgiving. Alignment grows over time and resets instantly. The path to maximum boost is clear: stay aligned. The cost of breaking alignment is also clear: return to 1x. Lockless Boost turns time into advantage without turning capital into a hostage.
