Where staking is optional, teams sometimes issue “bonus tiers” instead of strict requirements. Long-term delegators or LPs get an uplift on top of baseline user points, giving flexibility to participants with lower risk tolerance. This design avoids excluding active users who dislike lockups while still rewarding capital that supports security and liquidity. Check whether the program differentiates between native staking and liquid staking derivatives; some treat LSD positions equally, others discount them. Also verify if LP tokens placed in third-party yield vaults still count toward eligibility—intermediate wrappers can break tracking. Keep snapshots in mind: frequent micro-deposits rarely beat steady balances. If documentation is vague, assume continuity and duration will matter more than last-minute size.
