• Token distributions from staking can be claimed at the end of every month

Some potential features the Ethos team is thinking about implementing in the future. These features may or may not be implemented:

• Allow users to ‘set and forget it’ via an auto re-stake program

Staking and HODLing Loyalty Tier Combined Benefits

You can achieve a certain tier by either staking tokens or holding them in your wallet. If you choose to stake your tokens, then you'll need a smaller amount of tokens to achieve a tier

Staked ETHOS Required	1000	2500	7500	15000	30000
OR Unstaked ETHOS In Wallet Required	2000	5000	15000	30000	60000
Combined Discount Level	5%	10%	20%	30%	40%

The team plans to roll out additional features and benefits for loyalty members over time and as new products roll out.
