# Concept of CiLOCK

1.2 The Concept of Transaction-Based Staking (CiLOCK)

Our proposed transaction-based staking model introduces a novel parameter for unlocking staked tokens. Instead of waiting for a predetermined period, tokens will be eligible for unlocking once a certain number of transactions occur after staking. For instance, a staking pool might require 100 transactions to take place before tokens can be unstaked (details of staking pools can be seen in our graphic pitchdeck).

2. Advantages of Transaction-Based Staking

2.1 Increased User Engagement

By aligning staking rewards with the number of transactions, token holders are incentivized to actively participate in the network. This engagement benefits the ecosystem by fostering increased transactional activity, encouraging users to interact with decentralized applications, and promoting the overall growth of the network. As a result, the system becomes more dynamic and vibrant, attracting new users and creating a positive feedback loop of increased engagement.

2.2 Network Security and Resilience

Transaction-based staking introduces an additional layer of security and resilience to the network. With more frequent transactions occurring, the likelihood of malicious activities, such as double-spending or 51% attacks, is significantly reduced. The increased transactional activity ensures that the network is actively monitored and validated by stakers, enhancing its security and overall robustness.

2.3 Flexibility and Accessibility

The transaction-based staking model offers increased flexibility and accessibility for token holders. Unlike traditional staking periods, which can be rigid and inflexible, this approach allows users to participate in staking and unlock their tokens based on their own activity and the general network activity. This flexibility empowers users to manage their staking commitments more efficiently and aligns with their own transactional preferences.
