# Tier System

### <mark style="color:blue;">**What are Tiers?**</mark>

A tier system in crypto launchpads refers to the different levels of access that investors have to participate in the launchpad's token sales or initial coin offerings (ICOs). These levels are typically structured based on the amount of investment made by the investor or the number of tokens held by the investor.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**How does a tier system work?**</mark>

The tier system works by offering different levels of bonuses, discounts, or other incentives to investors depending on the tier they belong to. The higher the tier, the more significant the bonus or discount offered. For example, investors in the top tier may receive exclusive access to the sale or a higher bonus on their investment than those in the lower tiers.

The tier system is designed to incentivize investors to invest more in the launchpad and to reward those who commit to the project long-term. By offering exclusive benefits and rewards to investors in the higher tiers, launchpads can attract more investment and create a stronger community around the project.

To participate in a tier system, investors typically need to register for the launchpad's token sale and provide information about their investment. The launchpad will then determine which tier the investor belongs to based on their investment level or token holdings. The investor will then receive the benefits and rewards associated with that tier.

In summary, a tier system in crypto launchpads is a way to provide different levels of benefits and rewards to investors based on their investment level or token holdings. By incentivizing investors to invest more in the project and commit to it long-term, launchpads can attract more investment and create a stronger community around the project.
