**One critical case appears to have been overlooked in the current proposal:**

Participants who deposited into **esINIT-USDC LP positions with a 1-year lock-up period** via the VIP system.

Many of these users chose the long-term lock-up option based on the **high APR** offered at the time. However, under the new proposal, the APR is set to be significantly reduced — and these users have **no means of responding** to this change, as their positions are **irrevocably locked for at least 26 weeks**.

**In summary:**

- There exist LP positions locked through VIP with a minimum duration of 26 weeks.
- Users committed to long-term lock-up based on the previously promised APR and reward model.
- The APR has now been significantly reduced, yet these users have **no flexibility to react** , being bound to their lock-up terms.
- Thus, the reward structure has changed **without recourse or optionality** for these users.

**Therefore** , we believe it would be appropriate to consider **additional measures for these users** , such as:

- Calculating and issuing **compensation for the APR delta** during the lock-up period.
- Alternatively, allowing for **partial early unlocking** of their locked LP positions to restore a degree of optionality.

Addressing this will not only ensure fairness across participant groups, but also maintain long-term trust in the VIP and staking mechanisms.
