WMTx holders can now choose how long they want to stake, lock in a fixed annual rate onchain, and know the reward attached to their position before confirming it.
Choose a term of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. Choose how much WMTx you want to stake. The longer the term, the higher the annual rate.
Once you confirm, your rate is written onchain and fixed for the duration of your stake.
No changing rates. No minimum stake. No maximum stake.
Just a clear commitment, with the terms set from the start.
Introducing Locked Staking
Core Staking gave WMTx holders a flexible way to participate in staking across Base and Cardano.
Locked Staking adds another choice.
Instead of an open-ended position with a variable rate, you choose a fixed staking term and commit your WMTx for that period. In return, the annual rate attached to your position is fixed at the moment you stake.
Four terms are available:
- 3 months
- 6 months
- 9 months
- 12 months
Longer commitments carry higher annual rates.
There is no minimum or maximum amount of WMTx required to participate.
How Locked Staking Rewards Work
The rates shown for Locked Staking are fixed annual rates.
That distinction matters.
If you choose a three-month term, for example, you do not receive the full annual percentage over those three months. Your reward is calculated proportionally according to the length of your staking term.
The contract calculates rewards using:
Amount staked × annual rate × days in term ÷ 365
So, if a three-month position carries a fixed annual rate of 5.50%, a 92-day term would generate approximately 1.39% across that period.
You do not need to calculate this yourself.
Before you confirm a stake, the Locked Staking app shows the reward amount for your specific position and the date your term ends.
That means you can see exactly what the selected amount, term and rate mean for your position before committing your WMTx.
The Rate You Choose Is Fixed Onchain
This is the defining feature of Locked Staking.
When you confirm your stake, the rate attached to that position is written onchain.
From that point, it cannot change for the duration of the term.
Your amount is fixed.
Your term is fixed.
Your rate is fixed.
And the position can be independently read onchain.
It is a simple principle: know the terms before you commit, then let the contract enforce them.
Longer Terms, Higher Rates
Locked Staking rewards longer commitments with higher fixed annual rates.
A 12-month position therefore carries a higher annual rate than a 3-month position.
This also means repeatedly opening shorter positions is not equivalent to choosing the longer term from the beginning. For example, four consecutive 3-month locks at the current 3-month rate would generate less than one 12-month lock at the current 12-month rate, even if you restaked your WMTx and rewards after every term.
The choice is yours.
Choose the term that fits how long you are comfortable committing your WMTx.
How to Stake
Getting started takes four steps.
1. Connect your wallet
Visit:
https://locked-staking.worldmobile.net/
Base and Cardano staking are available through the same dashboard.
2. Choose your term
Select 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.
3. Enter your WMTx amount
Enter how much you want to stake.
Before you confirm, the app will show your rate, reward amount and end date.
Check these carefully.
4. Confirm your stake
Once the transaction is confirmed, your rate and staking position are recorded onchain.
At the end of the term, you can withdraw your original WMTx and your staking rewards together in a single transaction.
Five Things to Know Before You Lock
Locked means locked.
Before committing your WMTx, there are five important mechanics to understand.
1. Rewards do not compound during your term
Rewards accrue across the term and are claimed when you withdraw your stake.
They are not automatically added to the principal and do not generate additional rewards during the same position.
If you want to compound after a term ends, you can withdraw your WMTx and rewards and create a new Locked Staking position with the combined amount.
2. Your position does not automatically renew
When your term ends, your WMTx and rewards remain in the contract until you withdraw them.
However, rewards stop accruing once the agreed term has finished.
We recommend noting your end date when you stake.
3. There is no early withdrawal
Choose your amount and term carefully.
Once WMTx has been committed to a Locked Staking position, it cannot be withdrawn until that term ends.
The unstake control will remain inactive until the position reaches its end date.
4. WMTx cannot be committed to two staking programmes at once
Core Staking and Locked Staking are separate programmes.
The same WMTx cannot participate in both simultaneously.
If you want to use both, decide how you want to divide your WMTx before creating a Locked Staking position.
5. Every stake is a separate position
You can create multiple Locked Staking positions.
Each one can have its own:
- amount
- term
- fixed annual rate
- start date
- end date
They will appear separately in the Locked Staking interface, giving you the flexibility to structure your staking commitments differently.
What Changes for Cardano Holders
For Cardano holders, Locked Staking introduces an important change in how staked WMTx is handled.
The existing Cardano Vault works by registering your wallet and monitoring the WMTx associated with it. The Vault itself does not take custody of those tokens.
Locked Staking works differently.
When you create a Locked Staking position on Cardano, your WMTx moves into the Locked Staking smart contract for the term you choose.
This is what allows the contract to fix the rate attached to that position.
Once the stake is confirmed:
- your rate is set onchain
- it cannot be changed during the term
- the WMTx remains committed until the term ends
- your position can be read onchain
Nothing happens to an existing Cardano staking position automatically.
Your current position remains where it is unless you choose to create a new Locked Staking position using WMTx that is available and not already committed elsewhere.
Core Staking Continues
Locked Staking does not replace Core Staking today.
The two programmes serve different purposes.
Core Staking is open-ended, with a rate that can change.
Locked Staking commits WMTx for a defined term in exchange for a fixed annual rate set when the position is created.
Both continue to operate side by side.
Nothing already committed to Core Staking needs to move.
Core Staking will eventually be wound down, but holders will receive clear notice well in advance. The claim path will remain available so that existing positions and rewards are not stranded.
Until then, which staking programme you use is your decision.
Verify Before You Stake
Onchain participation gives you transparency. Use it.
Fake staking websites can imitate legitimate pages, branding and copy. Before approving any transaction, check the address your wallet is interacting with against the official contract addresses below.
Addresses displayed on the Locked Staking app are also clickable and open directly in the relevant block explorer.

Locked Staking FAQs
Watch the Locked Staking walkthrough video
Is the rate shown on the page what I earn?
The percentage shown is a fixed annual rate. Your actual reward is proportional to the length of the term you select.
For example, a three-month term showing a 5.50% fixed annual rate would generate approximately 1.39% over a 92-day position.
The Locked Staking app calculates the reward for your exact amount and term and displays it before you confirm.
When do I receive my rewards?
At the end of your staking term, when you withdraw.
Your original WMTx and your rewards are withdrawn together.
There are no monthly payments or partial reward claims during the term.
Can I see how much I have accrued so far?
Not in the interface today.
Your position shows the reward due at the end of the term rather than a live running total.
This was also raised during testing and has been added to the product feedback list.
Can I add more WMTx to an existing lock?
No.
Instead, create a new Locked Staking position.
Each position has its own amount, term, rate and end date.
Can I change my term after staking?
No.
Your term and rate are fixed when you create the position.
If you want to choose another term for additional WMTx, you can create a separate position.
Which wallets are supported?
During Base testing, Locked Staking was successfully completed using MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet.
Cardano wallets were also successfully connected and used to stake during testing.
If your wallet does not connect, first try clearing the site's cache and cookies. If the problem continues, contact the World Mobile community or support channels with the wallet and chain you are using.
Where can I read the Terms and Conditions?
The Terms and Conditions are linked directly from the Locked Staking app.
Look for the Terms and Conditions for Staking Smart Contract section and read it before creating your position.
Has Locked Staking been audited?
The Locked Staking contracts have been reviewed internally.
The staking interface also contains an important disclaimer. Read it, alongside the Terms and Conditions, before committing WMTx.
Choose Your Term
Locked Staking gives WMTx holders another way to participate.
Choose how much you want to commit.
Choose 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.
See your rate, your calculated reward and your end date before you confirm.
Then lock the position onchain.
Locked Staking is live on Base and Cardano.
