# Staking Tiers

| Tiers      | $HODL Requirement | Allocation |
| ---------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
| Explorer   | 5000              | 30%        |
| Journeyman | 10000             | 38%        |
| Pathfinder | 50000             | 15%        |
| Voyager    | 200,000           | 10%        |
| Navigator  | 500,000           | 5%         |

**Duration Staking Multiplier (to calculated Guaranteed Allocation Points)**

| Duration | Multiplier |
| -------- | ---------- |
| >7 Days  | 1.1x       |
| >14 Days | 1.25x      |
| >21 Days | 1.5x       |
| >28 Days | 2x         |

**What is Guaranteed Allocation Points (GAP) ?**

Guaranteed Allocation Points (GAP)  is a parameter that represents the total points allocated across all tiers in the staking system. The purpose of this parameter is to establish a baseline or total pool of allocation points that will be distributed among stakers based on their staking tier, staked quantity of tokens, and staking duration.

The Guaranteed Allocation Points essentially sets the total allocation capacity available for distribution, and the formula uses it to calculate the percentage of this allocation that a user is entitled to based on their staking activities.

**How to calculate my Guaranteed Allocation?**

To calculate the Guaranteed Allocation Points (GAP), multiply the Tier's Allocation by the Quantity of Token Staked and the Duration Multiplier. Then, divide this result by the Total Guaranteed Allocation Points within the Tier. Finally, multiply the entire fraction by 100%

For instance, if David's Guaranteed Allocation Points (GAP) in the Voyager Tier are 1000, and the Total Guaranteed Allocation Points (GAP) within the tier amount to 10,000, with a total token value of $20,000 available for sale, David can purchase up to 10% of his Guaranteed Allotment, which is $2,000 worth.
