A pool is started when an RWA NFT is locked into a pool. This is time-locked. There are two time periods as follows.

• Staking Offer Period: This is the period the RWA NFT is locked into a pool before full staking. If the staking is not obtained, then the RWA NFT may withdraw the staking offer (which destroys the pool).
• Staking Period: Once fully staked, the pool is active until the staking period ends. Then the RWA NFT may reclaim the NFT. During the staking period, the staker received benefits from the fees paid when the pool is created.
