Dual Epoch Locking

Axiom’s creation epoch and resolution epoch design prevents users from:

• Entering the system right before resolution

• Voting dishonestly

• Exiting before penalties are applied

Once a user is involved in a proposal or a vote, they are temporarily locked. This ensures:

• Accountable participation

• Correct application of penalties

• No stake-hopping exploits

• No “drive-by voting” with temporary positions

This is an important part of the protocol’s integrity
