# Vesting
Vesting is where the PRFI you earned from the lending markets (as boosted emissions) sits during its 90-day maturation period. You can let it vest in full, exit early with a penalty, or Flik it into a new pLP lock.
{% hint style="info" %}
In the current app, vesting lives inside the [**Rewards & Vesting tab**](/product/prime-liquidity-provider-plp/rewards.md) (it is no longer a separate top-level tab). The mechanics below are unchanged.
{% endhint %}
### Top stats
| Stat | What it means |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Earned PRFI** | Cumulative PRFI emissions you've earned and started vesting. |
| **Currently vesting** | PRFI still inside the 90-day vesting window. |
| **Ready to claim** | PRFI that has fully matured and can be withdrawn at 100%. |
| **Lifetime penalties** | Total PRFI lost over time by exercising "Exit Early" on partially-vested batches. |
### Overview
For participants in PrimeFi's money markets, opting to vest PRFI is a way to convert protocol emissions into long-term protocol-aligned tokens. By depositing assets and meeting pLP eligibility, users earn an APY on their assets **plus** additional yield through PRFI emissions.
The vesting of PRFI follows a structured approach: a **linearly decreasing penalty for early withdrawal**, starting at **90% and dropping to 25%** over a 90-day window. This structure encourages users to commit to the full vesting duration, ensuring they can fully reap the benefits of earned PRFI.
{% hint style="info" %}
This tab is only meaningful for users who meet the pLP eligibility requirements. If you aren't eligible yet, head over to the **Boost** tab to start.
{% endhint %}
### Initiating PRFI Vesting
To fully vest PRFI and unlock its full value, a **90-day maturation period** is required.
1. **Starting the vesting process** — go to the Vesting tab and locate the **Vesting Overview** section.
2. **Eligibility** — if you haven't met the pLP requirements, the **Start vesting** button is disabled.
3. **Activation** — eligible users click **Start vesting** and confirm the transaction in their wallet.
After activation, the **Vesting Overview** panel exposes diverse management functions for monitoring your vesting process.
### Flik vesting PRFI into pLP
Once PRFI is in the vesting phase, you can **Flik it directly into a locked pLP position without paying the exit penalty**, starting to earn platform revenue and re-qualifying for further PRFI emissions immediately.
Within the **"currently vesting"** section, choose **Flik into pLP**.
The Flik-with-vesting-PRFI modal appears:
The PRFI and paired-asset input fields are auto-populated. Fliking from vesting can only be done **for the entire vesting amount**, so the paired asset (borrowed or pulled from your wallet) is calculated automatically to match the LP ratio.
After clicking continue, choose the lock duration and corresponding multiplier, then confirm. Verify the Fliking information is accurate and click **Flik into pLP** to sign the necessary transactions.
### Early exit
Exiting early triggers a linear-schedule penalty to receive PRFI immediately. Vests can be exited collectively for the penalty displayed under the **Exit Early** button.
Alternatively, exit individual vests with their own penalty by clicking the right arrow beside each one.
### Vest to maturity
PRFI that has completed the 90-day maturation can be withdrawn in full from the **vested** panel on the Vesting tab.
### Additional notes
* Exiting a vest early triggers a **25%–90% penalty** based on a linear schedule of elapsed time.
* The penalty paid is distributed **90% to the PrimeFi Treasury** and **10% burned**.
* Initiating **Exit Early** from the **Currently vesting** panel exits all separate vesting periods at once, applying the corresponding penalty per batch.
* Alternatively, you can **Exit Early** from individual vests using the per-row menu.
* **Flik into pLP** from this panel includes all separate vesting periods.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.primefi.xyz/product/prime-liquidity-provider-plp/rewards/vesting.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
