*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 Paraswap.

Note that the minimum amount to be eligible for a THX Membership is approximately 175 $THX or $5.

You can also increase your locked amount, and lock ending. Optional: add veTHX to your wallet by adding the custom token address mentioned at the top of the article. For example, see the help article for adding custom tokens in MetaMask.

Exiting $veTHX v1

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:

  1. a) Visit the ve8020 user panel by Balancer b) Search for 0xb204bf10bc3a5435017d3db247f56da601dfe08a on the veSystem Overview screen

  2. Select 'veSystem Details' on the 'Vote Escrowed 20USDC-80THX' result.

  3. On the 'veSystem Details' screen select 'Early Withdraw' and submit the transaction.

  4. 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.
