FAQ
Is there an Airdrop?
The Acurast Association has announced the Cloud Rebellion Airdrop with 10,000,000 ACU tokens to be distributed based on MIST☁️ collected across all seasons (24 months linear vesting).
What is the cACU to ACU conversion mechanism?
How it works
- User initiates conversion on Acurast Canary
- cACU are burned on Canary
- ACU is assigned to the account on Mainnet with a 1 to 1 ratio. e.g., 1000 cACU = 1000 ACU
- On Mainnet the lock can be updated once between 3 to 48 cycles:
4.1. Default: Unlocked after 48x cycles at 28 days (3.7 years) = 1 to 1 ratio
4.2. Minimum: Unlocked after 3x cycles (2.8 months) = 6.25% ACU
4.3. Example: Unlocked after 24x cycles (1.75 years) = 50% ACU
Features
- The Conversion window is 90 days from its Activation afterwards no Conversion can be done.
- Converted and locked ACU can be Staked in Staked Compute Pool from Day 1 of Mainnet. ⟶ Staking Rewards are transferable (not locked) and claimable every epoch (1.5h)
- Converted and locked ACU can be used to participate in on-chain Governance
- If you continue to provide compute, you'll receive ACU rewards, that are transferable, from the Compute Pool.
