Founding lock
The founding lock is the two-year period during which a founding syndicate keeps the 50% discount off the standard per-asset rate. The clock runs from the syndicate’s paid-subscription start date, not from launch — a founding syndicate that subscribed on 1 May 2026 keeps the discount until 1 May 2028.
The lock is on the rate, not on the billing period or the asset quantity. Adding assets keeps the discount on the new quantity; switching between monthly and annual mid-lock keeps the discount; downgrading to free and coming back does not restore the lock.
When the two years expire, the syndicate transitions to the standard rate automatically on the next billing period.
