HomeGrowth Jars explained
A Growth Jar lets you commit $SWEAT for a set period and receive yield under the offer shown in the app. It may sound like a fixed-term savings account, but the comparison stops there. Growth Jars use crypto assets and smart contracts. They aren't protected bank deposits.
The name is fairly literal: choose an amount, set it aside, and leave it until the end date. You can't normally spend or transfer that principal while the jar is active. Offers, terms, and rates change, so don't treat this lesson as a live quote. For a specific jar, the confirmation screen and current terms win.
Choosing an amount and a period
Open the Grow area in Sweat Wallet and choose an available jar. Then select how much unlocked $SWEAT to commit and review the duration. Don't put in tokens you may need before the end date.
Amount and time are the real decisions. A bigger deposit puts more assets at risk; a longer term keeps them unavailable for longer. The advertised yield shouldn't make either choice for you. Think about when you'll need the tokens, how much their price could move, and whether you understand the product. Jar types and benefits change, so use the details in the app—not an old example.
What to review before confirming
Slow down at the confirmation screen. It shows the amount, end date, yield terms, and product conditions. Read it. A smart-contract action may not be reversible like a card payment sometimes is.
Check which token you'll receive, when the principal unlocks, whether the yield can change, and what you can do during the term. Read the current risks and terms too. If a blog post disagrees with the app, stop and check official support. Creating a jar takes seconds; being stuck in one you misunderstood lasts much longer.
Lock-up, smart-contract, and market risk
Growth Jars carry three main risks. First, lock-up: your principal generally stays in the jar until it ends, even if you need it or the market turns. Second, smart-contract risk. On-chain products run on software, and software can contain bugs or be exploited.
Then there's price risk. Both principal and yield are in $SWEAT, so more tokens don't necessarily mean more pounds, euros, or dollars. The price may fall during the lock-up. Some jars also have variable yield, which can finish below the maximum rate shown. None of this automatically makes a jar a bad choice. It does mean you should commit only an amount and term you understand.
How to think about yield
Yield is the extra $SWEAT a jar pays under its displayed terms. Rates are often annualised so you can compare different durations. That doesn't mean a three-month jar pays the full annual percentage. The confirmation screen shows the estimate or calculation for the jar you've selected.
Yield isn't guaranteed profit. Your token count can rise while its market value falls, and a variable jar may pay less than its headline maximum. Keep three numbers separate: the tokens you commit, the yield calculation, and the value of those tokens when the jar ends. The first two won't predict the third. Check the current product documentation whenever you consider a live offer.
Choose from the offers available today
The Growth Jar menu changes. An old lesson may show different durations, rates, limits, or promotions from the app you open today. Compare the jars actually available to you and read the details on each one.
Before you confirm, make sure you can leave the principal alone for the full term. Decide whether you accept the smart-contract and price risks, and check if the yield is fixed or variable. Keep a record of the transaction and use official Sweat links for support. The interface is simple. The crypto underneath it still demands care.
