# Dappad Launchpad Tier System By [DappLabs](https://paragraph.com/@dapplabs) · 2024-04-12 --- **Enrollment into Launchpad** As outlined in our "Introduction & Breakdown" post, becoming a member of Launchpad requires users to meet two simple criteria: 1. Completion of onboarding with our **KYC** partner Zkpass 👉 [KYC Here](https://app.dappad.app/kyc) 👈 2. Staking the minimal threshold amount of **APPA** tokens to accumulate enough points and attain at least Novice Avatar tier status. **Staking** : **Staking will be opened on 14/04/2024.** Staking signifies a commitment to socioeconomic participation. By staking **APPA** tokens, users signal their intentions and unlock the full range of utilities offered by our project. The cornerstone of Launchpad participation is staking **APPA** tokens to accrue points and achieve tier status. **1 staked APPA token = 1 tier point** **APPA** token staking is divided into four pools based on duration, with each pool offering its own point multiplier. Longer stake durations amplify a user's influence within the ecosystem. **Each stake pool duration brings its own point multiplier:** **30** days = **1x** points multiplier **60** days = **1.3x** points multiplier **180** days = **1.5x** points multiplier **365** days = **2x** points multiplier **999** days = **4x** points multiplier **Point System:** The point system calculates the impact of a user's stake on their participation. Points track users’ commitment and reputation within the **Dappad** ecosystem, attributing accurate weights to their allocation rights. Points are calculated by multiplying the amount of **APPA** tokens staked by the stake pool multiplier: **Total APPA tokens staked \* pool multiplier = Tier Points** For example: * Staking **1,000 APPA** tokens into a **30**\-day pool yields **1,000** Tier points * Staking **1,000 APPA** tokens into a **60**\-day pool yields **1,300** Tier points * Staking **1,000 APPA** tokens into a **180**\-day pool yields **1,500** Tier points * Staking **1,000 APPA** tokens into a **365**\-day pool yields **2,000** Tier points * Staking **1,000** APPA tokens into a **999**\-day pool yields **4,000** Tier points **Novice Avatar** * **Points Required:** >5000+ * **Refund Eligibility:** Yes, 100% * **Participation rounds:** FCFS - Not Guaranteed * **Pool Weight: _1x Allocation Multiplier_** As a Novice Avatar, you commence your journey with a commitment to the **Dappad** **ecosystem**.

With an impressive stake of 500,000 points, you wield unparalleled power and influence within the ecosystem. **Tier Point Calculations** Tier points within the **Dappad Launchpad** are calculated based on the amount of **APPA** tokens staked and the duration of the stake. Here's how it works: * Each **staked** **APPA** token earns one tier point. * Different stake pools offer varying multipliers based on the duration: * **30** days: **1x** Multiplier * **60** days: **1.2x** Multiplier * **180** days: **1.5x** Multiplier * **360** days: **2x** Multiplier For example, if a user stakes **10,000 APPA** tokens for **60** days, they would earn **12,000** tier points (**10,000** tokens \* **1.2** multiplier). This system incentivizes **long-term** commitment and active participation within the **Dappad ecosystem**. **Example of Multiple Stake Pool Stake:** Let's consider a generic user who decides to stake their **APPA** tokens in two different stake pools for varying durations: * **Stake Pool 1**: The user stakes **5,000 APPA** tokens for **30** days. * **Stake Pool 2**: The user stakes 7,000 APPA tokens for 180 days. For **Stake Pool 1**: * **5,000 tokens** \* **1x** multiplier (for **30** days) = **5,000 tier points** For Stake Pool 2: * **7,000** tokens \* **1.5x** multiplier (for **180** days) = **10,500 tier points** The user would earn **15,500** tier points (**5,000** from Stake Pool 1 + **10,500** from Stake Pool 2). This demonstrates how users can optimize their tier point accumulation by strategically diversifying their stakes across different pools and durations. --- *Originally published on [DappLabs](https://paragraph.com/@dapplabs/dappad-launchpad-tier-system)*
