Token Lock Mechanism
Nexgent Signals uses a transparent, on-chain token locking mechanism to provide access to its AI-powered trading signals. Instead of a traditional subscription fee, users "lock" NEXGENT tokens for a fixed period to gain access to signal feeds.
Why We Use Token Locking
The lock mechanism is designed to create a secure and aligned ecosystem for all participants:
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Commitment | Ensures signal consumers have a stake in the Nexgent ecosystem. |
| Transparency | Every lock is recorded on the Solana blockchain and can be verified by anyone. |
| Non-Custodial | Your tokens are held by a smart contract, not a person or company. Only you can unlock them. |
| No "Fee" | You aren't "paying" for signals; you are temporarily locking your own tokens to gain access. |
How It Works
The process is designed to be simple and automated:
- Choose a Tier: Select the signal feed you want (e.g., Velocity, Ignition).
- Lock Tokens: You authorize a transaction to move the required tokens into a secure, program-controlled vault.
- Active Access: While your tokens are locked, you have full access to the signal feed and delivery tools.
- Automatic Unlock: After 30 days, your tokens become available for you to withdraw back to your wallet.
Security & Transparency
The Nexgent Token Lock is built on Solana smart contracts. This means the rules of the lock are enforced by code, not by humans.
Non-Custodial Security
- Nexgent never has access to your private keys.
- Tokens are held in a Program Derived Address (PDA)—a secure vault controlled exclusively by the smart contract code.
- You remain the "owner" of the lock; only the wallet that started the lock can eventually withdraw the tokens.
Verification
You can verify the system transparency at any time:
- Smart Contract Code: View the open-source program on GitHub (opens in a new tab).
- On-Chain Vault: See the current total locked tokens and activity on Solscan (opens in a new tab).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I unlock my tokens early?
No. To ensure ecosystem stability and commitment, tokens are locked for a strict 30-day period. The smart contract will not allow an unlock transaction before this time has passed.
Do I lose my tokens?
No. You are not spending the tokens. You are placing them in a "vault" for 30 days. Once the period ends, you can withdraw 100% of the tokens back to your wallet.
What if the Nexgent website goes down?
Because the lock is on-chain, your tokens are safe regardless of the website's status. You can interact directly with the Solana smart contract to unlock your tokens once the 30-day period has expired.
Does locking more tokens give me more signals?
Locking tokens gives you access to specific tiers. Higher tiers (like Leviathan) require more tokens to be locked, but provide deeper market intelligence.
