### ⏳ Vesting Paths & Bonus Yields

*Choose your path. Every second counts. The Pharaoh rewards patience.*

When staking BNB in KeyFi, users can select from 4 distinct **vesting durations**. Each option yields a different bonus percentage, reflected in your total KEYFI tokens once the period ends (or if someone buys your Key NFT before that).

These bonuses are applied **on top of your purchased token amount**, creating natural incentives based on time preference.
