# Parking & Unparking

### 1. Overview

ANT Parking is a staking system where users deposit their ANT tokens to secure assets and earn high-value Parking Points. This system serves as a decisive driver for users to prove their ecosystem contribution and secure top-tier rankings.

### 2. Parking Point System

* Instant Points: A set percentage of points is credited immediately upon parking. This is the most powerful strategic element for a rapid surge in rankings.
* Daily Points: Points are continuously accumulated and distributed every day while the assets remain parked, ensuring stable ranking defense.

### 3. Unparking & Penalty Policy

Users can request to unpark their assets at any time. However, to ensure ecosystem stability, an Early Unparking Penalty applies to the principal if the process is initiated before the end of the commitment period.

#### 3.1 Early Unparking Policy

* Principal Penalty: If unparking is requested before the commitment period ends, a certain percentage of the principal (ANT) will be deducted as a penalty fee before the balance is returned.
* Cessation of Point Accrual: Upon unparking, the accrual of 'Daily Points' for that specific deposit will cease immediately.
* Point Retention: Already distributed Instant Points and Daily Points accumulated prior to unparking are not revoked or deducted.
* Immediate Transition: There is no waiting period for unparking, allowing users to secure immediate liquidity of their assets.

#### 3.2 Precautions

* The penalty system is designed to prevent sudden liquidity shifts and preserve the value of the ANT token.
* Once the unparking process begins, it cannot be canceled.

### 4. Strategic Edge: Ranking Conquest

* Seizing Top Rankings: Instant points from parking large amounts of ANT act as a 'game changer,' allowing users to jump to the top ranks instantly in the ANTRANK system.

### 5. Key Benefits

* Powerful Incentives: Maximizes rewards through active point acquisition.
* Immediate Liquidity: An unparking system with no waiting period enhances the efficiency of user asset management.
* Transparent Monitoring: All logs are recorded in real-time within the Wallet History.

```
GET https://whitepaper.anttime.net/products-and-services/antrank/parking-and-unparking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
