# AGA Tier Bonuses

Locking AGA doesn’t just raise your status — it **unlocks concrete, compounding perks** across the entire AgoraHub experience. From higher yields and better quest chests to Athena creation quotas and AGA-pay access in Flash, every tier step (Minotaur → Zeus) powers up your toolkit.

**🚀 What scales with your tier**

* **Staking APY:** Higher lock = higher passive yield
* **Flash in AGA:** Number of **Flash** loot boxes you can pay with **AGA** per edition
* **Quest Rewards:** Bigger end-cycle chests (more **AGL** + extra boosters)
* **Athena Creation Quota:** How many **Athena** loot boxes you can create
* **Community Prestige:** Exclusive **Discord roles** and visibility

**🔧 What this changes in practice**

* **Improved Loot boxes:** Pay some **Flash** entries in **AGA** (per edition limits) and create more custom campaigns via **Athena**.
* **Bigger Guaranteed Rewards:** End-cycle quest chests scale with your tier (more **AGL**, more **boosters**).
* **Better Yield:** Your locked AGA compounds via higher APY at higher tiers.
* **Status & Trust:** Tier roles signal credibility for collabs, raffles, and community initiatives.

**📘 Example (Medusa, 250k AGA)**\
Jules locks **250,000 AGA** → **Medusa**. He now gets:

* **6% APY** on his locked AGA
* **2 Flash** loot boxes **payable in AGA** per edition
* **Small Chest** at quest cycle end (**250 AGL + 1 Booster**)
* **1,000** **Athena** loot boxes creation quota\
  His experience becomes **cheaper (AGA-pay)**, **more rewarding (bigger chest)**, and **more powerful (Athena capacity)** than a lower-tier user.

**✅ Benefits for users**

* **Natural power-up** without extra complexity
* **More rewards for the same effort** (quests + APY)
* **Strategic flexibility** (use AGA in Flash, deploy Athena, plan cycles)
* **Social proof** (roles, visibility, trust)

**🏗️ Benefits for investors**

* **Predictable yield** via tiered APY
* **Governance influence & standing**
* **Strategic, passive participation** with upside from scarcity

**🌐 Benefits for Agora**

* **Lower circulating supply** → less sell pressure, healthier tokenomics
* **Stronger retention & re-lock behavior**
* **Clear segmentation** for targeted campaigns and rewards
* **Aligned incentives:** deeper engagement benefits both users **and** the ecosystem
