### Overview

ChainGPT Pad uses a simple **tier system** to reward long-term supporters of the ChainGPT ecosystem and to keep participation fair across launches.

Your tier is determined by your **staking points**, which come from:

* how much **$CGPT** you stake
* and how long you stake it for (pool multipliers)

Tiers can unlock:

* **Access and allocations** in Standard IDOs (Tiered)
* **Boosts and no fees / discounts** in Public Sales (Subscription)
* **Buzz multipliers and Staker Pool rewards** in Buzz campaigns
* Eligibility for **Launchdrops & Giveaways**
* **DAO voting rights** (when governance is enabled)

{% hint style="info" %}
***Important:** Exact rules can vary by campaign. Always follow the campaign page for that specific event.*
{% endhint %}

### How to qualify

To benefit from tier-based features, you generally need:

1. **Stake $CGPT** to earn staking points and reach a tier
2. **Complete KYC** for campaign types that require it (e.g., many token sales and some claims)

{% hint style="info" %}
*Staking itself is typically available without KYC, but **participation/claim** requirements depend on the campaign.*
{% endhint %}

***

### Staking Points (how tiers are calculated)

#### Formula

**Staking Points = (Staked $CGPT) × (Pool Multiplier)**

* **1 $CGPT staked = 1 base point**
* Longer staking pools usually have higher multipliers.

#### Examples

* Stake **1,000 $CGPT** in a **1.0×** pool → **1,000 points**
* Stake **1,000 $CGPT** in a **1.3×** pool → **1,300 points**
* Stake **1,000 $CGPT** in a **2.0×** pool → **2,000 points**

{% hint style="info" %}
*Pool options and multipliers are shown on the* [*Staking page*](https://docs.chaingpt.org/our-ecosystem/chaingpt-pad/staking) *and may change over time.*
{% endhint %}

### Tier Levels

ChainGPT Pad tiers are:

* **No Tier** (below Bronze threshold)
* 🥉 **Bronze**
* 🥈 **Silver**
* 🥇 **Gold**
* 💎 **Diamond**

Your current tier and points are displayed in your ChainGPT Pad dashboard.

## What tiers unlock on ChainGPT Pad

### 1) Standard IDO (Tiered): access & allocation

Standard IDOs are **tier-gated**. Your tier determines:

* whether you can participate (minimum tier requirement)
* which rounds you can access (campaign-specific)
* your allocation weight relative to other users (higher tier → generally higher allocation)

{% hint style="info" %}
*Full details are explained on the* [***Standard IDO (Tiered)***](https://docs.chaingpt.org/our-ecosystem/chaingpt-pad/standard-ido-tiered) *page.*
{% endhint %}

***

### 2) Public Sale (Subscription): boost + fee discounts

Public Sales are open to everyone (KYC required), but tiers can provide a major advantage:

#### Allocation boost (campaign-specific)

Some Public Sales apply a staking-based boost to your participation, increasing your effective share in the allocation calculation.

#### Fee discounts (baseline model when fees are enabled)

Public Sales may apply tier-based fees (some campaigns may be **0% fees across all tiers**). Typical baseline:

* **No Tier:** highest fees
* **Bronze/Silver:** discounted fees
* **Gold/Diamond:** often **0% fees**

*Always check the campaign sale page for the exact fee table and whether fees apply.*

{% endhint %}

***

### 3) Buzz Campaigns: points multiplier + staker reward pool

Buzz campaigns typically reward both:

* **Buzzers** (creators earning Buzz Points)
* **Stakers** (staking points share in the Staker Pool)

Tier benefits can include:

* a **Buzz Points multiplier** (helping you earn more points for the same quality content)
* a proportional share of the **Staker Pool** (campaign-dependent), even if you don’t post

{% hint style="info" %}
*Full details are explained in the* [*Buzz documentation*](https://docs.chaingpt.org/our-ecosystem/buzz-by-chaingpt) *section.*
{% endhint %}

***

### 4) Launchdrops & Giveaways: eligibility and allocation weight

Many Launchdrops and Giveaways are designed to reward tier holders.

* **Launchdrops:** often distribute rewards based on tier/points (campaign-specific)
* **Giveaways:** often require IDO participation plus tier status (and may disqualify refunded IDO participants)

{% hint style="info" %}
*Full details are explained on the* [***Launchdrops & Giveaways***](https://docs.chaingpt.org/our-ecosystem/chaingpt-pad/launchdrops-and-giveaways) *page.*
{% endhint %}

***

### 5) DAO voting rights (when enabled)

Tier holders (or stakers) may be eligible to vote on governance proposals when ChainGPT governance is active. Voting weight and eligibility follow DAO rules.

***

## Important notes

* **Snapshot timing matters:** many campaigns use snapshots to determine eligibility and allocations.
* **Campaign rules override general rules:** always follow the campaign page (it is the source of truth).
* **Refund rules are campaign-specific:** not all campaigns have refunds; some do; some have fees.
