Warmup

SecureDAO features an optional mechanism called the Warmup which can be enabled via the DAO Multisig. The Warmup prevents what is called "rebase jumping" where someone buys SCR right before a rebase, stakes it, and then sells it after the rebase. The Warmup requires that SCR must be staked for a certain number of rebases before the yield can be claimed.

At the time of writing, SecureDAO uses a 2 rebase Warmup. This means that SCR must be staked for more than 2 rebases (epochs) before claiming any rewards. Users will accumulate rewards while in the Warmup, but will not be able to claim those rewards until the Warmup period has finished.

When Warmup is complete, your staked balance can be claimed from the Warmup contract and you will automatically receive the rebase rewards earned during that time. Your balance can be claimed from the Warmup using the "Claim SCR" button on the Dapp or by calling the "claim" function on the Staking contract. Withdrawing funds before the Warmup period finishes will result in the forfeit of the earned rewards. If you stake $SCR before the previous Warmup period is over, the Warmup period will be reset.
