Token and contracts
Licence control
The contract that is meant to turn an on-chain position into terminal access. It replaces the monthly cash subscription with something you can walk out of: tokens that are locked, not spent.
Planned Access today is granted by access keys, not by this contract. Nothing below is live, and the amounts are not fixed.
The three tiers Planned
| Tier | What you do | Your tokens |
|---|---|---|
| 7-day | Stake $LIQTERM for seven days | Locked, then returned. Still yours throughout. |
| 30-day | Stake $LIQTERM for thirty days. Fewer tokens per day than the 7-day tier — not four times the amount. | Locked, then returned. Still yours throughout. |
| Lifetime | Burn $LIQTERM | Destroyed permanently. Irreversible. |
The difference between the first two and the third is worth stating plainly. A stake is locked and comes back. A burn is gone, and no one — including us — can reverse it.
Lifetime access is the VIP tier Planned
Burning is not simply a longer subscription. It is intended to carry a standing the staking tiers do not:
- Feature requests are treated as proposals. What lifetime holders ask for sits at the front of what gets considered next, rather than in a suggestion box.
- First claim on support. Their questions are answered before anyone else’s.
- A direct hotline to StellarMom, instead of a general support queue.
Staking during the bonding curve phase grants the same standing, on top of the permanent access it already writes.
Both staking tiers behave the same way in every respect but price: either can be extended by re-staking before it expires, and unstaking unlocks immediately — the position opens and you claim straight away, with no waiting period.
That one-time window does not release immediately. Unstaking opens only when the contract owner signs at graduation, and from that moment the stake unlocks on a seven-day linear vesting schedule. A single signature starts the clock for every participant at once, and access is written the moment it is signed — you can use the terminal before the tokens have finished returning. See Bonding curve phase.
Expiry is immediate
Access is designed to end the moment a stake’s term expires, not at the end of some billing cycle. There is no unstaking step required to cut off access and no grace period. This mirrors how access keys already behave today: when they stop being valid, open connections close with them.
How much it will cost Undecided
The token amounts are not fixed and are not published anywhere as final. They are intended to adjust with market capitalisation, so that the cost of access in real terms stays roughly stable rather than tracking the token price up and down.
That adjustment is an administrative action, which raises an obvious question: what happens to someone who has already staked when the requirement changes?
Handling requirement changes Undecided
Two approaches have been considered and the choice has not been made:
- Grandfathering. The terms at the moment you stake are recorded and held until your term expires; changes apply only to new stakes. Simple to implement, and “the deal I took does not change” is easy to reason about.
- Pro-rata refunds. Compensate existing stakers for an unfavourable change. This requires the contract to track each staker’s rate, timing and remaining term, and to recompute retroactively on every change — the single largest source of complexity in the design, with audit cost to match.
Grandfathering is the current preference, but it is not decided.
How access would be checked
The app would read your position on Robinhood Chain: an active stake or a recorded burn unlocks the terminal. The enforcement boundary stays where it is today — on the API, not in the client — because the app is open source under GPL-3.0 and a lock in client code can simply be removed and rebuilt. See Where access is actually enforced.
What happens to existing access
Access keys are not replaced by this contract. A key binds to a device today and the same binding is designed to move to a wallet address when wallet login arrives. Permanent access written during the bonding curve phase is intended to remain permanent, independent of any later staking requirement.
None of it is deployed or audited, the amounts are undecided, and the refund question is open. Staking or burning $LIQTERM is not an investment and gives you no claim on the project’s revenue, equity or profits. Burned tokens cannot be recovered. Nothing here is financial advice.
