# Staking/Tier Levels

Staking is one of the utilities of $ANME tokens. Tokens generate rewards in a form of yield for $ANME token stakers and distribution of those rewards. 

Stakers are divided into tier levels based on staking power (Default, Silver, Gold). That will allow each user group (Fans, Investors, animation creators and studios, distributors) to get different access to various benefits, e.g.  Investors or fans will have access to INO launchpad to be able to invest into animation projects through NFTs. 

In addition, stakers in the higher tier levels will be able to get more benefits such as increased availability to more INOs, access to the limited edition NFTs, NFT drops, content streaming services and lower platform transaction costs.

#### As ecosystem participants enter a new tier level they earn incrementally higher reward APY:

| Default level | Silver level | Gold level |
| :-----------: | :----------: | :--------: |
|       7%      |      8%      |     9%     |
