Accumulative Balance Timer Extended to 180 Days - Here's Why

A DAO vote has passed, and it changes one number you should know about.

The Accumulative Balance lifetime is extended from 120 days to 180 days - effective now, for every existing balance.

This is temporary, and it's protective. Here's the full story.

What we found

The Accumulative Balance has a timer: an unused balance becomes eligible for redistribution after a set period. That part works as designed.

What doesn't work correctly is the reset. When you spend or transfer your entire Accumulative Balance - and it drops to zero - the timer should reset. Right now, it doesn't. It keeps counting from where it was.

In practice: say you had 40 days left on your timer. You transfer your full balance to another account, or spend it all on an NFT - your balance is zero. Then new funds arrive to your Accumulative Balance. Instead of a fresh 120-day window, the timer continues from those same 40 days. That's not how it should work, and we're fixing it.

Why 180 days now

Fixing the reset logic properly takes time, and it requires its own DAO vote. Meanwhile, we don't want anyone's balance reaching redistribution eligibility because of a timer that should have reset but didn't.

So the DAO extended the window to 180 days. Every existing balance gets the extra time. Nothing expires while the fix is in progress.

The change only delays redistribution - it never accelerates it. Your balance stays fully spendable throughout: NFT purchases, upgrades, transfers - all work exactly as before.

What happens next

1. Fix. A separate DAO vote will implement the corrected reset logic: whenever your Accumulative Balance reaches zero - spent or transferred - the timer resets. When new funds arrive, the countdown starts fresh from the full window.

2. Return to 120 days. Once the fix is live, another DAO vote returns the lifetime to 120 days - now working the way it was always meant to.

Bottom line

Your Accumulative Balance is safe. You have more time, not less. Use it as you always have - and when the fix lands, the timer will finally behave the way you'd expect.
