You will see:

* Placing Amount ($PAWN): Amount of $PAWN you would like to place in SAFE
* Placing Time: How long you would like to place those $PAWN in Pawnfi SAFE. Placing time is designed at weekly basis, and during placing time, those $PAWN cannot be withdrawn until the expiration date. The maximum time will be **52 weeks**.
* Voting Power: You will get Voting Power by placing $PAWN. Voting Power = Amount ($PAWN) x Placing Time in weeks
  * Ex. 1,000 $PAWN placed for 1 year = 52,000 Voting Power&#x20;
* Voting Power decay rate: Voting Power will decrease at weekly basis, which means it will decrease by placing amount every week.

{% hint style="info" %}
Voting Power among all users will decrease on Thursday at 00:00:00 UTC, which is the breaking point.&#x20;

That is, no matter you place your token on Week 2 Friday or Week 3 Wednesday, your Voting Power will decrease on Week 3 Thursday at 00:00:00 UTC.
{% endhint %}
