# $RIPS Rewards & In-App Benefits

**$RIPS rewards holders who commit long-term via staking. Rewards come in two forms:**

1. USDC Rebates — Platform wide events offering USDC Rebates.
2. In-App Perks — boosts and discounts that improve gameplay.

Four staking tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum.

Higher tiers = greater benefits. 

**In-App Perks post TGE:**

* Legendary Drop Chance — Stakers get higher odds of Legendary cards.
* RIPS Points Multiplier — Bonus points toward future airdrops.
* Swap Fees - Swap fees decrease from 2% to 1% for all stakers.
* USDC Rebates — Event based rebates to  stakers.

**In-App Perks:**

| **Tier**     | **Stake Threshold** | **Legendary Boost** | **Points Multiplier** | Swap Fees | **USDC Rebates**              |
| ------------ | ------------------- | ------------------- | --------------------- | --------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Bronze**   | All Stakers         | +10%                | 1.05×                 | 1.0%      | Proportional to amount staked |
| **Silver**   | Top 50%             | +25%                | 1.10×                 | 1.0%      | Proportional to amount staked |

Over time, $RIPS will form the foundation of how users experience Rips, connecting the excitement of discovery with the long-term value of being part of a growing onchain community.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
