Unstaking returns your $HIVE and drops that portion's weight. What you leave staked keeps its loyalty clock.
40% of the seats' IMD goes to every holder (your staked bag included) and stakers split an extra 60% on top — so holding earns a slice, staking earns that plus the bonus. Your loyalty multiplier rises from 1.00× to 2.00× the longer you stay staked; it locks in a new tier whenever you stake, claim, or unstake. On Robinhood Chain. No admin keys — the contract can never take your stake. The seats earn real IMD now; stakers also get launch-token bonuses (3-day stake, 12h-per-project to claim).
