# FAQ

***

#### How do I buy $OPN tokens?

You can purchase $OPN using stablecoins like USDC, USDT, or DAI directly through the IOPn app. Your wallet must be connected, and the system will calculate your batch pricing and token allocation automatically.

***

#### What’s the difference between NeoPoints and REP?

* **NeoPoints** are loyalty points earned when you stake $OPN tokens.
* **REP (Reputation Points)** are earned through engagement, such as quests, social activity, and referrals.

Both are stored on-chain and contribute to your progression.

***

#### Can I sell or transfer my NeoCard or NeoID?

* **NeoCard** is tradable and mergeable.
* **NeoID** is soulbound - it cannot be transferred or sold. It permanently represents your verified status.

***

#### What if I don’t stake? Can I still participate?

Yes! You can:

* Earn REP through quests and referrals
* Interact with badges and community events
* Redeem some offerings via stablecoins (limited access)

But staking unlocks full loyalty rewards and long-term progression.
