Primary access mechanism

Stack Vault

Users lock—not spend—their $5TACK. Tokens remain user-owned and become withdrawable after the commitment, active tournament settlement and a 24-hour cooldown.

Round-frozen eligibility.USD-denominated token requirements are calculated before each weekly round, then frozen so price changes cannot remove eligibility mid-tournament.
