### 4. Unlock Rules

The staking lock period is **1 year**. Unlock conditions:

* Tokens can be unlocked after 1 year **if the device is returned**
* Early returns will incur partial token deductions. For every month the stake is withdrawn early, 1/12 of the staked amount will be deducted
* If the device is **inactive for 1 month**, 1/12 of the staked tokens will be deducted
  * Inactivity means no data uploaded during a one month rolling period from the previous upload

### 5. FAQ

#### **Q1: Can I cancel after staking and get my tokens back?**

No. Tokens can only be unlocked after the mandatory 1-year staking period.

#### **Q2: Can I transfer tokens while they are staked?**

No. Staked tokens cannot be transferred.

#### **Q3: Do staked tokens generate yield or rewards?**

No. Staked tokens do not provide additional yield. The rewards generated have no lock-up period, and the staker can keep **100% of their mapping rewards**.

#### **Q4: Can I stake for multiple devices?**

Yes. Each staking action applies to only one unit. You may perform multiple staking operations for additional devices.

#### **Q5: Can I change my wallet address after staking?**

No. Once staking is completed, the **wallet address is permanently bound** to the device. For fleet users, the fleet owner’s staking wallet must remain the same. Rewards can then be distributed to drivers.

#### **Q6: Can I change the wallet connected to my ROVR App after I receive the device?**

No. The ROVR App wallet **must match the wallet used for staking**. If the wallet is changed, the device **cannot generate rewards** or receive mined tokens.
