Annual Threshold Increase
Keeping Rewards Valuable: Annual Tier Adjustments
To make sure our top tiers stay rewarding and special as the DAO grows, the amount of $YANG needed to reach Silver, Gold, or Diamond level will increase by 10% each year. This happens every January 30th, starting in 2026.
Why We Do This:
Rewards Early Supporters: People who join and stake $YIN early get a head start with lower initial requirements.
Maintains Tier Value: As more members join and earn $YANG, this increase ensures higher tiers remain prestigious and financially rewarding.
Protects Your Investment: It helps manage the total number of $YANG tokens over time, keeping their value strong for loyal members.
How It Works:
The 10% Increase: Each year on January 30th, the minimum $YANG needed for each tier (Silver, Gold, Diamond) goes up by 10% compared to the previous year.
You Keep Your Tier Until Next Year: If you reach a tier before January 30th, you stay at that tier with all its benefits for the whole year, even if the requirements go up. Your status is only re-checked at the next January 30th.
Example: If you become Diamond in 2025 (requiring 250,001+ $YANG), you stay Diamond until January 30, 2026. On that date, you'll need the new Diamond requirement (e.g., 275,001+ $YANG) to keep Diamond status for 2026.
Example (Numbers for Illustration):
2025 Requirements:
Silver: 1 – 150,000 $YANG
Gold: 150,001 – 250,000 $YANG
Diamond: 250,001+ $YANG
January 30, 2026 (10% Increase):
Silver: 1 – 165,000 $YANG
Gold: 165,001 – 275,000 $YANG
Diamond: 275,001+ $YANG
Why This is Good for You:
Early Bird Advantage: Joining and staking early means you can reach higher tiers before requirements increase.
Scarcity = Value: Rising requirements make achieving higher tiers more meaningful and can increase the value of $YANG.
Fairness: Adjusts for the DAO's natural growth, ensuring top rewards go to the most committed members over time.
What You Should Do:
Check Your Dashboard: Regularly see your $YANG balance and current tier levels in the Yin DAO app.
Plan Ahead: If you're close to the next tier (especially near year-end), consider staking more $YIN before January 30th to reach it before the requirements go up.
Reinvest: Use your earned $YANG rewards to help maintain or climb to a higher tier over time.
Note: Exact future tier requirements will be announced 90 days before each January 30th adjustment.
