Boost
Locking xEXIT against an Office raises what that Office earns. The boost grows in a straight line from 1.00× to 2.50× depending on how much xEXIT you lock compared with how much the Office needs for the full boost.
Once you reach the full amount, locking more xEXIT against that Office adds nothing.
Higher levels need more
The amount needed scales with the Office’s activation weight. A level 5 Office already earns 3.33× what a level 1 Office earns, so it needs 3.33× as much xEXIT for the same boost.
It multiplies everything else
Locking and unlocking settle first
Locking and unlocking both settle the Office first. Time before you locked is paid at the old rate, and time while boosted is paid at the boosted rate even if you unlock later. You can’t lock right before a cash-out and get paid as if you had been locked all along.
What else locking gives you
Locked xEXIT also earns a share of every swap fee. See xEXIT.
