Guide: How to top-up an existing neuron

Does ‘Merge Maturiry’ affect neuron age bonus? We know that increasing neuron stake does affect the age right?

188

The ‘age’ of a neuron is based on the average length of time the ICP has been staked.

So as you add new ICP to a neuron, that new ICP has an ‘age’ of 0 so the age bonus (as a percentage) will decrease, but in absolute terms it stays the same.

189

So merging the maturity means adding 0-age ICP, which brings the average age down.

So the answer is yes :slight_smile:

Can we speak of neuron age having the units of TIME/ICP? The average time staked per unit ICP?

Hi,

Can you manually refresh my Neuron, please? I topped up about 7000 ICP hoping to reduce the dissolve delay of one of the seed neurons I have.

my principal id is “v7cc2-wbjf7-dloyx-43km2-ive2v-qcyno-edull-b4c73-jdllb-haoqj-7ae”

neuron ID: 7426475773933408710

Thanks

@wgfernandes_BR Please check now, that should be done :+1:

Thank you very much for the quick response!
But why the dissolve delay was not reduced proportionally?

Seed investors cannot have the dissolve delay of theirs neurons reduced?

193

There is no way to speed up the dissolving of a neuron.

If you increase the stake of a neuron the dissolve delay remains the same.

194

Thanks!
Sorry, my mistake.
I mixed up the idea that the age of the neuron would be changed after the top-up and thought that the same would happen with the dissolve delay.

I thought this thread may be interested in this:

Quick question, are you still working at combining and splitting neurons?
Combining to clean up our account because creating multiple neurons was the only way to dissolve some but not all ICP.
Splitting to be able to start dissolve a certain amount of ICP only.
Thanks

Sorry for the super slow reply! This message somehow slipped under my radar!

Splitting neurons is already actually supported by the IC so it should be fairly easy to add a button to the NNS Dapp allowing users to do this. Merging isn’t supported by the IC yet though, so that won’t be available via the NNS Dapp any time soon.

I’ll speak to the NNS team tomorrow and ask them about both of these features.

The merge function would be very appreciated.
Thanks for following up

Hey is it possible for you to merge ALL of my neurons into one ? If so, how can I do this ? Thanks in advance :pray:t3:

This isn’t supported yet, but it is on the roadmap and should be available in the next month or so.

added ICP to my neuron 3 days ago, transaction completed - top-up neuron, no update in icp stake number, no nothing. 3 years and still same problems… where is my icp?
