Once the veNEST NFT is back in your wallet as a manual position, you can manage it normally.
1
Extend (increase lock duration)
Extend expiry to maintain voting power.
Max lock: up to 6 months
Voting power is linear with time:
100 NEST for 6 months → 100 veNEST
100 NEST for 3 months → 50 veNEST
2
Increase (add more NEST)
Add more NEST into an existing veNEST position.
3
Merge
Combine multiple veNEST NFTs into one position. Useful for simplifying management and concentrating vote weight.
Auto-Max (set-and-forget power)
Auto-Max is designed to keep your lock near maximum duration so vote weight doesn’t drift down.
Why it matters: if you don’t maintain duration, voting power decays toward expiry (example guidance shows ~4% voting power reduction per epoch on a max lock left to decay).
4
Transfer
Because veNEST is an NFT, it can be transferred (and may be tradable on supported marketplaces like Hyperwarp).
Reminder: Buyers inherit the lock’s remaining duration, future rewards and for selling marketplace liquidity can be thin with discount required for sale.
5
Unlock/Withdraw
Withdrawal requires completed vesting.
Unlock your veNEST position back into NEST.
Your veNEST must be in a manual position and the vesting period must be complete before you can unlock / withdraw NEST.
