Head over to the THX Membership Dashboard.
Create your $veTHX by following the steps in the video or written out below. Note that for a free membership you need to lock a minimum of $5 USDC.e worth of $THX.
To earn maximum voting power and protocol fees lock your THX tokens for 12 weeks. To keep earning maximum benefits be sure to revisit the app to lock every Thursday!
You get your full amount of tokens back when the locked date passes. Alternatively you can unlock your tokens early with a linear early unlock fee.
The interface also allows for increasing your lock amount and time, early withdraw with a linear penalty and claiming of rewards. Current tokens distributed as rewards:
BAL
80USDC-20THX-gauge
Penalties for early unlocking of tokens are send to the Reward Distributor and distributed to other stakers.
*Note: The Balancer pool currently consists of $USDC.e and $THX. If you have $USDC, you will need to swap it for $USDC.e on a DEX such as 1Inch.
Note that the minimum amount to be eligible for a THX Membership is approximately 175 $THX or $5.

During $veTHX development an early version of $veTHX we now call $veTHX v1 was created using non-staked Balancer BPT tokens. This version is now deprecated, meaning it is not going to be used going forward as of March 17th 2024.
Early unlock penalties have been disabled on $veTHX v1. To exit $veTHX v1 follow these instructions:
a) Visit the ve8020 user panel by Balancer b) Search for 0xb204bf10bc3a5435017d3db247f56da601dfe08a on the veSystem Overview screen
Select 'veSystem Details' on the 'Vote Escrowed 20USDC-80THX' result.
On the 'veSystem Details' screen select 'Early Withdraw' and submit the transaction.
After the transaction has been completed you find your tokens on 20USDC-80THX Pool on Balancer.
You can now follow the normal staking procedure above from step 2) to stake your tokens and create $veTHX v2.
