# Contribution Levels & Rewards

Users can increase their personal contribution level by voting on projects in the Staking Hub, unlocking additional rewards and exclusive features. The more votes a user casts, the higher their contribution level becomes — each new level grants enhanced benefits.

## Rank: Beginner

The Beginner rank covers Contribution Levels 1–10. At this rank, users multiply their base daily rewards generated from NFTs in qualified collections held in the [Staking Hub](/features/staking-hub.md).\
The higher the contribution level within this range, the greater the multiplier — up to 10× at Level 10.

<table><thead><tr><th width="93.6666259765625">Level</th><th>Requirements</th><th>Multiplier rewards</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>--</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>500 votes</td><td>base x 2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>1,000 votes</td><td>base x 3</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>1,500 votes</td><td>base x 4</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>2,000 votes</td><td>base x 5</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>3,000 votes</td><td>base x 6</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>4,000 votes</td><td>base x 7</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>6,000 votes</td><td>base x 8</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>8,000 votes</td><td>base x 9</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>10,000 votes</td><td>base x 10</td></tr></tbody></table>

Base rewards are the rewards generated by each NFT. This amount is displayed on the NFT itself and on the project information page.

{% hint style="info" %}
The bonus is applied immediately once a user contributes votes. However, if the user removes their votes, the bonus will be lost.
{% endhint %}

## Rank: Intermediate

The Intermediate rank covers Contribution Levels 11–20.At this rank, users earn APY cashback in $EXO based on the amount of votes they contribute to projects in the Staking Hub.\
The higher the contribution level within this range, the greater the APY — up to 6% APY at Level 20.

<table><thead><tr><th width="93.6666259765625">Level</th><th>Requirements</th><th>APY % rewards</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>11</td><td>12,000 votes</td><td>0,5% APY</td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>15,000 votes</td><td>1% APY</td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>18,000 votes</td><td>1.5% APY</td></tr><tr><td>14</td><td>22,000 votes</td><td>2% APY</td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>26,000 votes</td><td>3% APY</td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>30,000 votes</td><td>4% APY</td></tr><tr><td>17</td><td>35,000 votes</td><td>4.5%APY</td></tr><tr><td>18</td><td>40,000 votes</td><td>5% APY</td></tr><tr><td>19</td><td>45,000 votes</td><td>5.5% APY</td></tr><tr><td>20</td><td>50,000 votes</td><td>6% APY</td></tr></tbody></table>

Cashback rewards will be distributed monthly on the 1st day of each month in the form of $EXO tokens, which will be credited directly to the user balance.
