The “Speed Up" bonus on Trader Joe doubles the rate of veJOE accruals for 14 days after JOE is staked, provided that the amount of JOE staked adds an additional 5% (or more) on top of the total amount of JOE already staked into veJOE . The contract therefore checks before staking whether the available balance (including both the deposit and any pre-existing excess over the required reserve) would meet or exceed the 5% threshold, and will only stake the available balance if it does. Otherwise, it waits for further JOE deposits to increase the available balance before staking.
