# Liquidity & Staking FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

<details>

<summary>What is the Liquidity Pool?</summary>

The Liquidity Pool is the "house" of the Betfin Protocol. By depositing tokens, you provide the capital that backs player bets. In exchange, you earn rewards from the house edge of all integrated games.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why did my rewards change?</summary>

Rewards depend on game performance. In the Liquidity Pool, sustained player wins can temporarily increase the "debt per share" accumulator, which may reduce your total claimable rewards until the house edge recovers the balance.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I withdraw my tokens at any time?</summary>

Withdrawal depends on the specific terms of your pool. New deposits in the Liquidity Pool require the 80-week lock period to expire before the principal can be withdrawn. However, accrued profits can be claimed at any time without affecting your principal or share count.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the difference between "expected principal" and "actual balance"?</summary>

Expected principal is the sum of all deposits minus withdrawals. Actual balance is the real amount of tokens currently in the contract. The difference between these two numbers determines the profit or loss distributed during the 4-week sync window.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if I transfer my BLP (Position) NFT?</summary>

The NFT is the sole key to your liquidity position. If you transfer it, the new holder gains the right to claim all future rewards and withdraw the principal once the lock expires. However, the original depositor remains tracked for referral and affiliate purposes.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I withdraw my tokens at any time?</summary>

Withdrawal depends on the specific terms of your pool. For the primary Liquidity Pool, you can claim accrued rewards at any time, but your initial deposit (principal) can only be withdrawn after the 80-week lock expires.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can my claimable rewards decrease?</summary>

Yes. Because the LP acts as the house, it can experience "debt" periods if players win more than they lose. Losses are tracked via a debt accumulator; if the debt from a sync period exceeds your previous profits, your claimable balance will decrease until the house edge recovers the difference.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is a BLP NFT?</summary>

BLP stands for "Betfin Liquidity Position." It is a soulbound NFT minted to your wallet when you deposit. It acts as your digital receipt, holding all the data for your shares, your entry snapshots, and your accrued rewards.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why is there an 80-week lock on my principal?</summary>

The lock ensures protocol stability. It prevents providers from withdrawing during temporary downturns, which would unfairly increase the risk for those who stay. It also protects the pool against flash-loan attacks.
