The October 9 Farm Switch
Farm Weight Rotation — October 9, 2026
At 00:00 UTC on October 9, 2026, Actuator's farms entered their third and final emission year. Two things changed at once: the yearly ACTR flow to farmers stepped down from 250M to 150M, and the pool weights rotated one HTT series:
- HTT-3000's farming rewards ended,
- Every other pool moved down a step, and
- HTT-8000 started farming at the top weight.
Both changes were fixed in the farm contract on deployment day; nobody could move, cancel, or reschedule them.
Two Mechanisms, One Date
The farm contract computes rewards from three one-year emission rates:
Oct 9, 2024: 350M → Oct 9, 2025: 250M → Oct 9, 2026: 150M → Oct 9, 2027: zero ACTR emissions
What It Means for Each Pool
| Pool | Share through Oct 8 | Share from Oct 9 | Reward Rate, All Else Equal |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTT-3000 | 10% | 0% | ends |
| HTT-4000 | 15% | 10% | ×0.40 (60% lower) |
| HTT-5000 | 20% | 15% | ×0.45 (55% lower) |
| HTT-6000 | 25% | 20% | ×0.48 (52% lower) |
| HTT-7000 | 30% | 25% | ×0.50 (50% lower) |
| HTT-8000 | — | 30% | new — first rewards |
If You Farm HTT-3000
The boundary retired the HTT-3000 farm’s reward share — but not by itself. The weight rotation waited for the first public massUpdatePools() call after 00:00 UTC on October 9. That call landed in the first hours of October 9 UTC: when this site’s robot read the farm at 01:55 UTC the new weights were already in force, HTT-3000 at 0% and HTT-8000 at 30%. From that call onward the farm earns no new ACTR. Your LP tokens stay yours: they can be withdrawn at any time with no penalty, ACTR already earned remains claimable, and the LP itself keeps collecting PulseX swap fees inside the pair whether it sits in the farm or in your wallet. What ended is only the ACTR stream on top.
The Switch After This One Is the Last
The schedule has three years and no fourth. On October 9, 2027 farm emissions end entirely — the farms stop paying ACTR, and the 75% of supply reserved for farmers will have been fully streamed. Swap fees inside the pairs continue for as long as people trade; only the emission stream stops.
October 9 Farm Switch Questions
When exactly did the October 9 farm switch happen?
The emission step-down (250M to 150M ACTR per year) was exact: 00:00 UTC on October 9, 2026, measured as 730 days from the farm contract’s start. The weight rotation applied with the first massUpdatePools() transaction after that moment — a public function anyone can call. It landed in the first hours of October 9 UTC: when this site’s robot read the farm at 01:55 UTC the new weights were already in force. Last year’s rotation executed 75 seconds after midnight.
Did I lose my staked LP or unclaimed ACTR when the HTT-3000 farm ended?
No. The rotation banked every pool’s accrued rewards before changing any weight, so ACTR earned up to the switch stays claimable. LP tokens can be withdrawn at any time with no penalty, before or after the date, and they keep collecting PulseX swap fees either way. Only the new ACTR stream to HTT-3000 stopped.
Did farm APRs drop after October 9?
Yes, for every continuing pool. On the last read before the switch (October 8, 19:06 UTC) HTT-4000 paid 28.0%, HTT-5000 30.3%, HTT-6000 30.4% and HTT-7000 22.4%; on the first read after it (October 9, 01:55 UTC) they paid 11.3%, 13.7%, 14.7% and 11.3%. HTT-3000 went from 32.8% to 0%, and HTT-8000 began at 127.5% on a pool with little LP staked yet. APR also depends on how much LP is staked, and liquidity tends to migrate toward the new weights, so the first-day figures move with it. The live tables on the Farm & Vault Yields page show the APRs as they move.
Is the farm switch automatic, or does the Actuator team control it?
It is fixed. The emission schedule and every year’s pool weights were written into the farm contract when it was deployed — there is no owner function to change them, and the rotation itself is triggered by a public function anyone can call. This page’s figures were read from the contract, not from documentation.
What happens on October 9, 2027?
Farm emissions end entirely. The three-year schedule (350M, 250M, 150M ACTR) is complete, so the farms stop paying ACTR from that date. LP tokens keep earning swap fees inside the PulseX pairs for as long as trading continues.
Every figure on this page — the dates, the weights, the schedule — was read from the Actuator farm contract on PulseChain and is restated by the code that renders this page from one shared source. See the live yields on Farm & Vault Yields and the strategy notes on Actuator Strategies.
