# Loyalty, And Progression

Value in IOPn is more than financial - it’s about proving loyalty, showing reputation, and unlocking the next layer.

***

### What Are NeoPoints?

NeoPoints are your **on-chain loyalty score.**

* Earned automatically when you stake $OPN
* Multiplied based on how long you lock your tokens (1–3 years)
* Used to redeem exclusive rewards: merch, events, access levels, and more

There are two types:

* **Pure Points** (earned by staking tokens bought from IOPn directly)
* **Earned Points** (gained from staking rewards or secondary tokens)

***

### The Loyalty Design

NeoPoints aren’t just for purchases - they build your **trust and status** across the ecosystem. Here’s how:

| **Loyalty Action**      | **Reward Type**  | **System Impact**                      |
| ----------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Buy $OPN directly       | Pure NeoPoints   | Full loyalty recognition               |
| Stake for 3 years       | Max multiplier   | Top-tier access                        |
| Burn tokens for rewards | Unlock benefits  | Recorded to NeoCard + NeoID            |
| Hold NeoCard            | Tracks all of it | Proof of history, activity, and access |

As you grow your loyalty footprint, the ecosystem recognizes and rewards you with new benefits and status.

***

### Long Term Design, Long Term Value

IOPn doesn’t just reward today’s actions - it tracks, remembers, and builds on them. Every loyalty interaction strengthens your on-chain identity.

And as the ecosystem expands, your past contributions become your future credentials.

> **Loyalty isn’t just rewarded - it’s remembered.**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://iopn.gitbook.io/iopn/loyalty-and-progression.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
