2.1 Membership Tiers

A transparent tier system that turns on-chain commitment into access and reward weighting

RH membership tiers translate verifiable commitment into a simple set of privileges and program weights. A tier is not a badge granted by discretion—it is derived from on-chain locking records under rules that are designed to be easy to understand, easy to audit, and hard to game.

Design Goals

Membership tiers are designed to:

  • Reward commitment, not noise. Tiers reflect sustained participation via locking, not short-lived activity spikes.

  • Stay application-agnostic. Tiers work for community initiatives today and can extend to future integrations, including P2E-style seasonal campaigns, without changing the core logic.

  • Minimize manipulation. Tier qualification is based on observable state (locked amount and lock configuration), evaluated at defined checkpoints.

  • Avoid overpromising. Tiers can influence access and weighting, but they do not guarantee profits, returns, or fixed rewards.

How Tiers Are Determined

RH uses a points-based model so that users can qualify either by locking more RH, locking for longer, or a combination of both.

Membership Points (MP)

Membership Points are calculated as:

MP = Locked RH × Duration Multiplier

Duration multipliers are determined by the lock configuration (final values may be adjusted via governance):

  • 7 days: 1.0×

  • 30 days: 1.5×

  • 90 days: 2.0×

  • 180 days: 2.5×

This structure makes long-term commitment count more, without requiring a single “correct” lock period.

Tier Thresholds (Initial Parameters)

Tiers are assigned based on Membership Points (MP). The following thresholds are intended as an initial configuration and may be refined as the ecosystem matures:

Tier
Membership Points (MP) Threshold
Typical Profile (Example)

Bronze

≥ 50,000 MP

50,000 RH locked for 7 days

Silver

≥ 250,000 MP

170,000 RH locked for 30 days (≈255,000 MP)

Gold

≥ 1,000,000 MP

500,000 RH locked for 90 days (≈1,000,000 MP)

Legend

≥ 5,000,000 MP

2,000,000 RH locked for 180 days (≈5,000,000 MP)

Note: These examples illustrate how MP works. Exact tier thresholds and multipliers are protocol parameters and should be published and versioned.

What Tiers Affect

Membership tiers may influence the following categories, subject to each program’s rules:

  • Eligibility: Access to certain ecosystem initiatives, early programs, and community campaigns.

  • Weighting: A tier-based weight may be applied when distributing rewards within a defined program (e.g., higher tiers may receive higher weights).

  • Priority: Priority access where scarcity exists (e.g., limited slots in a seasonal program).

  • P2E-compatible programs: If a P2E-style seasonal campaign is introduced, tiers can be used to gate eligibility and apply consistent weighting under verifiable participation criteria.

When Tier Status Is Evaluated

Tier status is evaluated using snapshots taken at predefined times (e.g., at epoch boundaries) to reduce last-minute manipulation. Users keep their tier status for the relevant period according to the rules of each program.

Anti-Manipulation Principles

To maintain fairness and reduce gaming risk, the tier system may include safeguards such as:

  • Snapshot-based qualification rather than continuous “live” recalculation.

  • Minimum lock requirements for program eligibility.

  • Weight caps or diminishing returns in specific campaigns to reduce extreme concentration (program-dependent).

All active parameters and any safeguards must be disclosed transparently and updated only through the defined governance and operational controls.
