Combos & Conviction

Combos and Conviction staking are modifiers on the Barkpower your portfolio generates. Combos reward the way your picks fit together; Conviction rewards locking Borks and staking $BORK. Both increase the Barkpower used to calculate your firm's share of ETH rewards.

Discover your Combos

Two old rivals held side by side. A portfolio all-in on one pick. A combination you stumbled into while trying something new. Certain lineup patterns activate hidden Combos, each with its own name, story, and bonus.

• An undiscovered Combo appears as ???. Lock a lineup that activates it to reveal its name, lore, and bonus.
• Up to 5 matching Combos can count together. The app suggests your strongest matches.
• Combo bonuses increase your generated Barkpower, giving your firm more weight when ETH rewards are shared. They also contribute to your leaderboard score.
• Combos come from your own picks; a default lineup participates without a Combo bonus.

Build Conviction

Stake $BORK and lock your own Borks to earn the Conviction modifier on Barkpower. Your NFTs stay in your wallet. Both the Borks and staked tokens are released after their lock and withdrawal waiting periods, with the staked $BORK returned in full.

• Your bonus combines the number of locked Borks — up to 10 — with your $BORK stake tier.
• Stake tiers are measured against a Bork's book value and fixed for your lock.
• Ten locked Borks at the highest stake tier reach a +100% bonus in the current design.
• New locks become eligible from the next round. An eligible default lineup receives Conviction too.

How the bonuses fit together

The Combo and Conviction percentages add together and apply to your portfolio's base Barkpower, up to a combined +150% in the current design. Both modifiers are set when your lineup locks and stay fixed for that round.
