Started on May 27th, Epoch 1 had a total value locked (TVL) cap of $50 million. This stage saw a significant increase in total depositors, reaching over 9,000 from Epoch 0 to the end of Epoch1. As of 15.06.2024, there are about $50 million locked. Unlike Epoch 0, there was no time limit imposed on Epoch 1, allowing participants ample time to engage with the restaking pool. However, native SOL deposits were prioritized to ensure the stability and growth of the platform. Withdrawals will be enabled starting at Epoch 3, providing participants with flexibility in managing their investments. *** #### Permanent Referral Link Participants who deposited 10 native SOL received a permanent referral link, granting them a significant advantage.
