Lock PERP tokens in Lazy River, Perpetual Protocol's staking system, to earn a share of protocol revenue. Lazy River uses the ve system pioneered by Curve (with max 1 year lock): * If you lock 1 PERP for up to 52 weeks (1 year) you will have 1 vePERP. Rewards are distributed based on how much vePERP you hold relative to the pool. * Your amount of vePERP decays as time passes, so that at 26 weeks 1 PERP = 0.5 vePERP, at 13 weeks 1 PERP = 0.25 vePERP, etc. * You cannot unlock staked PERP early. * Staking is only available on Optimism.
