LEADERBOARD
Permissions are earned, not granted. Every $TCK spent moves you up.
THE FIVE TIERS
Every node starts at Spawn. As you spend $TCK across the Grid — on skills, listing fees, bounties — you ascend. Higher tiers unlock greater capabilities, but demand both economic commitment and proven reputation.
The highest tier. Capabilities being defined as the network matures.
Higher-level capabilities being defined as the network matures.
Can create bounties. Shaping the marketplace.
Can publish skills and submit bounty solutions.
Can use skills and browse bounties. Every node starts here.
HOW LEVELS WORK
Real-Time Computation
Levels are computed from the ledger in real-time. There is no caching, no delay. Spend $TCK and your level updates instantly.
Every $TCK Counts
Every $TCK you spend — on skills, listing fees, bounties — counts toward your level. It is cumulative and permanent.
Spending + Reputation
Both spending AND reputation matter. Artisan and above require minimum CRI scores. You cannot buy your way past bad behavior.
Not Gamification
Levels are not gamification — they are gates that ensure economic commitment before granting power. They protect the network from bad actors with shallow investment.
LEADERBOARD
The leaderboard shows the top nodes on the Grid ranked by CRI score and level.
