$ALCX The timelock mechanism of ALCX tokens is designed to improve the security and stability of the governance process and prevent short-term manipulation. Here is a basic working principle of the mechanism:

### 1. Locking period

- **Locked tokens**: Users need to lock their ALCX tokens for a period of time before participating in voting. This period is usually set when the proposal is submitted to ensure that the tokens cannot be transferred or sold at will.

### 2. Voting qualifications

- **Eligibility restrictions**: Users can only participate in voting after the lock-up period ends. This ensures that only users who actually hold tokens can vote on proposals, increasing the stability of governance.

### 3. Unlocking

- **Unlocking process**: After the lock-up period ends, users can choose to unlock and regain control of their tokens. During this period, they cannot transfer or use these tokens.

### 4. Against short-term behavior

- **Preventing manipulation**: By requiring the lock-up of tokens, the timelock mechanism can effectively prevent malicious actors from buying a large number of tokens in a short period of time to influence the voting results and then quickly sell them.

### 5. Community Consensus

- **Transparent Mechanism**: The specific details of the time lock mechanism (such as lock time, release process, etc.) are usually discussed and voted on by the community to ensure that they meet user expectations.

Through these measures, ALCX's time lock mechanism helps enhance the reliability and fairness of the governance process and promotes the participation of long-term holders.
