How Does the ATLAS Locker Work?

The ATLAS Locker allows you to lock ATLAS tokens to:

Earn daily POLIS rewards
Reduce your Marketplace seller fees

When you request a withdrawal, a 21-day cooldown period starts—during this time, rewards and discounts are paused. After the cooldown ends, you can reclaim your ATLAS.

How It Works – Step by Step

Step 1: Lock ATLAS

  • Choose the amount of ATLAS you want to lock.

  • Locking more ATLAS unlocks bigger Marketplace fee discounts.

  • You’ll start earning daily POLIS rewards automatically.

Step 2: Earn Daily POLIS Rewards

  • POLIS is distributed daily to lockers based on how much ATLAS you have locked relative to others.

  • Emissions follow a declining curve over 8 years.

Emission Curve Summary:

  • Start (2022): 4,320 POLIS/day

  • End (2030): 2,620 POLIS/day

Step 3: Get Marketplace Fee Discounts

Your Locker Tier determines your seller fee discount on the marketplace and in Sage Local Marketplace:

Tier Locked ATLAS Fee Reduction Final Fee DAO Share
0 0 0% 6.00% 2.00%
1 10,000 10% 5.40% 1.80%
2 70,000 15% 5.10% 1.70%
3 560,000 25% 4.50% 1.50%
4 5,600,000 45% 3.30% 1.10%
5 72,800,000 85% 0.90% 0.30%

💡 The higher your tier, the lower your marketplace fees.

How Your POLIS Rewards Are Calculated

Formula:
(Your Locked ATLAS / Total Locked ATLAS) × Daily POLIS Emission

Example:

  • If 4,000 POLIS are emitted today

  • And you have 1,000 ATLAS locked out of 1,000,000 total:
    → You earn (1,000 / 1,000,000) × 4,000 = 4 POLIS
