An exit penalty is a predetermined fee or forfeiture applied when a participant withdraws funds or disengages from a digital asset protocol or staking arrangement before a specified period. This mechanism is designed to incentivize long-term participation and maintain network stability or liquidity. It discourages short-term speculation and rapid capital flight. Exit penalties are a common feature in decentralized finance (DeFi) and proof-of-stake systems to align user behavior with protocol objectives.
Context

A critical future development includes optimizing exit penalty structures to ensure they effectively serve their intended purpose without unduly deterring legitimate participation or creating excessive barriers to entry for new users, thereby fostering sustainable and fair economic models.
