For example, if you lock 100 AXIAL tokens for 2 weeks, 50 AXIAL will have been unlocked after 1 week has passed. You can claim these at any time, re-add them to your lock, extend your lock, or just wait until the end of your lock period to claim all your tokens back. This system maintains the alignment of incentives between long-term thinking and voting power, while providing more flexibility to stakers.
