Vesting periods are an important part of staking, as they ensure that all members of the pool get a fair share of the rewards. When you stake your tokens, they will be locked up for the duration of the vesting period, which in this case is 160 days. During this time, you will not be able to claim your funds or receive any rewards. However, if you need to claim your funds earlier, you can do so, but the part of your rewards will be distributed among the other members of the pool. This means that you may not receive the full amount of rewards that you would have received if you had held your tokens for the full vesting period. Therefore, it is generally recommended to hold your tokens for the whole period to maximize your profit.
