# Liquidity & Staking FAQ

<details>

<summary>What is the Liquidity Pool?</summary>

The Liquidity Pool functions as "the 'house' of the Celestium Protocol." By depositing tokens, you provide capital backing player bets and earn rewards from the house edge of integrated games.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why did my rewards change?</summary>

Rewards fluctuate based on game performance. Sustained player wins can temporarily increase the "debt per share" accumulator, which may reduce claimable rewards until the house edge recovers the balance.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I withdraw my tokens at any time?</summary>

For the primary Liquidity Pool, accrued profits can be claimed at any time without affecting your principal or share count. However, the initial deposit requires the 80-week lock period to expire before withdrawal.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the difference between "expected principal" and "actual balance"?</summary>

Expected principal is the sum of all deposits minus withdrawals. Actual balance is the real amount of tokens currently in the contract. The difference determines profit or loss distributed during the 4-week sync window.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if I transfer my CLP (Position) NFT?</summary>

The NFT serves as the sole key to your position. The new holder gains claim rights to future rewards and principal withdrawal, though the original depositor remains tracked for referral and affiliate purposes.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can my claimable rewards decrease?</summary>

Yes. If the debt from a sync period exceeds your previous profits, your claimable balance will decrease until the house edge recovers the difference.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is a CLP NFT?</summary>

CLP stands for "Celestium Liquidity Position." It is a soulbound NFT minted to your wallet when you deposit and acts as your digital receipt holding share data and accrued rewards.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why is there an 80-week lock on my principal?</summary>

The lock ensures protocol stability. It prevents providers from withdrawing during temporary downturns and protects against flash-loan attacks.
