Diamond Hands

Diamond Hands is the bonus reward for holders who keep their NFTs until vesting is 100% complete — without claiming early.

How It Works

Every time someone claims tokens early, they pay a penalty. Those penalty tokens don’t disappear — they accumulate in a penalty pool.

When your vesting is fully complete, you can claim a share of that pool as a bonus on top of your regular tokens.

Others claim early

Impatient holders pay 75-90% penalties on their locked tokens. Those tokens go into the pool.

Pool grows

The more people claim early, the bigger the reward pool gets.

You wait patiently

Hold your NFT without claiming early until vesting is 100% done.

Claim your bonus

Once fully vested, claim your share of the penalty pool.

How to Claim

1. Wait for 100% vesting

   Your NFT’s vesting progress must show fully complete. No shortcuts.

2. Look for the action

   The Claim Diamond Hands action appears on your NFT once you qualify.

3. Claim your reward

   Click it. Your bonus tokens are added to your wallet.

Who Qualifies?

You qualify for Diamond Hands if:

• Your NFT’s vesting is 100% complete
• You have not claimed early (claim everything) during the vesting period
• The reward hasn’t been claimed yet

Note

Claiming unlocked tokens (no penalty) is fine — it doesn’t disqualify you. Only the “Claim Everything” action with a penalty disqualifies.

Why It Matters

The Diamond Hands mechanic creates a powerful dynamic:

• Early sellers subsidize patient holders
• The more panic selling, the bigger your reward
• It incentivizes long-term commitment to the project

Example Scenario

A collection with 1,000 NFTs launches with vesting:

1. Over the first week, 300 holders claim early with a 90% penalty
2. Each had ~400 locked tokens → ~360 tokens per holder go to the pool
3. Pool accumulates 108,000 tokens
4. The 700 remaining holders who waited split the pool
5. Each patient holder gets roughly 154 bonus tokens on top of their full vesting amount

Tip

In volatile markets, more people tend to claim early — which means bigger Diamond Hands rewards for those who hold. Patience literally pays.
