# Point Tiers and Epochs

> From points to ownership. Learn how the tier system, epochs, and multipliers reward early contributors and dedicated trainers with their stake in the AI revolution.

<Warning>
  **The Early Bird Owns the Future**: Founding members earn 5x multipliers. Epoch 1 participants get 2x. Every month you wait, your earning potential decreases. The revolution rewards those who join first.
</Warning>

## Points: Your Path to Token Ownership

### Building Your Stake in AI

Before the Token Generation Event (TGE), all contributions earn points. These points will convert directly to \$LAM tokens, representing your ownership stake in the world's first community-owned AI.

## The Badge Tier System

### Your Dedication, Your Rewards

<Frame caption="Badge Progression - From Seed to Evergreen">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/actionmodel/2LpKFP9yv2pd8kMM/tokenomics/images/Points.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2LpKFP9yv2pd8kMM&q=85&s=3676b7d213cdf14b06c90d02582c5e36" alt="Points Pn" width="1017" height="130" data-path="tokenomics/images/Points.png" />
</Frame>

The more you contribute, the higher your tier and the greater your earning multiplier. This isn't just gamification—it's recognizing and rewarding long-term commitment to the resistance.

## The Epoch System

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/actionmodel/2LpKFP9yv2pd8kMM/tokenomics/images/EPOCH.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2LpKFP9yv2pd8kMM&q=85&s=29f8de948447ccac4f4e6d00f76b0dbc" alt="EPOCH Pn" width="1000" height="189" data-path="tokenomics/images/EPOCH.png" />
</Frame>

### Rewarding Early Contributors

<Info>
  **Time-Sensitive Opportunity**: Each epoch represents a month in Action Model's journey. The earlier you join, the higher your permanent multiplier. Founding members earn 5x. By month 12, it's down to 1x—forever.
</Info>

### Epoch Multipliers

| Epoch         | Period        | Multiplier | Points per 1000 Actions | Status        |
| ------------- | ------------- | ---------- | ----------------------- | ------------- |
| **Founding**  | Founders/KOLs | **5x**     | 5,000 points            | Exclusive     |
| **Epoch 1**   | Month 1       | **2x**     | 2,000 points            | Launch Month  |
| **Epoch 2**   | Month 2       | **1.9x**   | 1,900 points            | Early Adopter |
| **Epoch 3**   | Month 3       | **1.8x**   | 1,800 points            | Early Bird    |
| **Epoch 4**   | Month 4       | **1.7x**   | 1,700 points            | Rising        |
| **Epoch 5**   | Month 5       | **1.6x**   | 1,600 points            | Growing       |
| **Epoch 6**   | Month 6       | **1.5x**   | 1,500 points            | Expanding     |
| **Epoch 7**   | Month 7       | **1.4x**   | 1,400 points            | Maturing      |
| **Epoch 8**   | Month 8       | **1.3x**   | 1,300 points            | Stabilizing   |
| **Epoch 9**   | Month 9       | **1.25x**  | 1,250 points            | Established   |
| **Epoch 10**  | Month 10      | **1.2x**   | 1,200 points            | Mainstream    |

| **Epoch 12+** | Month 12+     | **1x**     | 1,000 points            | Standard      |

<Warning>
  **The Cost of Waiting**: Someone joining in Epoch 1 earns DOUBLE what someone joining in Epoch 12+ earns—permanently. Every day you wait costs you future ownership.
</Warning>

## Calculating Your Earnings

### The Complete Formula

<Info>
  **Your Total Points** = Base Actions × (1 + Badge Bonus + Epoch Bonus + Training Bonus + Bounty Bonus + Other Multipliers)
</Info>

### Real-World Examples

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Example 1: Founding Member Power User + Creator">
    **Scenario**: Founding member, Tree tier, Active training on Stripe, Published workflow in Creator Epoch 1

    **Training Earnings Calculation**:

    * Base actions: 1,000
    * Founding epoch: +400% (5x = +400%)
    * Tree badge: +30%
    * Active training: +100%
    * Stripe bounty: +3100% (32x = +3100%)

    **Training Total**: 1,000 × (1 + 4.0 + 0.3 + 1.0 + 31.0) = **37,300 \$LAM**

    **Creator Earnings (Monthly)**:

    * Workflow usage: 10,000 executions consuming 500,000 tokens
    * [Creator Epoch 1 rate](/tokenomics/marketplace-distributions#creator-epochs-time-based-reward-tiers): 33%
    * Monthly creator earnings: 500,000 × 0.33 = **165,000 \$LAM**

    **Combined Monthly Total**: 37,300 + 165,000 = **202,300 \$LAM**

    *This user earns from both training the LAM and creating valuable workflows!*
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Example 2: Epoch 3 Active Trainer + Creator">
    **Scenario**: Joined in Epoch 3, Leaf tier, Active training on LinkedIn, Published workflow in Creator Epoch 3

    **Training Earnings Calculation**:

    * Base actions: 2,000
    * Epoch 3: +80% (1.8x = +80%)
    * Leaf badge: +15%
    * Active training: +100%
    * LinkedIn bounty: +200% (3x = +200%)

    **Training Total**: 2,000 × (1 + 0.8 + 0.15 + 1.0 + 2.0) = **9,900 \$LAM**

    **Creator Earnings (Monthly)**:

    * Workflow usage: 5,000 executions consuming 250,000 tokens
    * [Creator Epoch 3 rate](/tokenomics/marketplace-distributions#creator-epochs-time-based-reward-tiers): 20%
    * Monthly creator earnings: 250,000 × 0.20 = **50,000 \$LAM**

    **Combined Monthly Total**: 9,900 + 50,000 = **59,900 \$LAM**
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Example 3: Casual Background Trainer + Late Creator">
    **Scenario**: Epoch 6, Root tier, Background training on Gmail, Published workflow in Creator Epoch 8

    **Training Earnings Calculation**:

    * Base actions: 5,000
    * Epoch 6: +50% (1.5x = +50%)
    * Root badge: +5%
    * Background training: +0% (baseline)
    * Gmail bounty: +20% (1.2x = +20%)

    **Training Total**: 5,000 × (1 + 0.5 + 0.05 + 0 + 0.2) = **8,750 \$LAM**

    **Creator Earnings (Monthly)**:

    * Workflow usage: 5,000 executions consuming 250,000 tokens
    * [Creator Epoch 8 rate](/tokenomics/marketplace-distributions#creator-epochs-time-based-reward-tiers): 7.5%
    * Monthly creator earnings: 250,000 × 0.075 = **18,750 \$LAM**

    **Combined Monthly Total**: 8,750 + 18,750 = **27,500 \$LAM**

    *Note: Same workflow usage as Example 2, but earns 62.5% less due to later Creator Epoch!*

## Points to Token Conversion

### From Training Points to Real Ownership

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Token Generation Event" icon="rocket">
    **Your Points Become \$LAM**

    Your accumulated points convert to \$LAM tokens based on the EPOCH. Your share is proportional to your total points versus all community points earned.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Community Pool" icon="users">
    **350 Million \$LAM Reserved**

    35% of the total 1 billion token supply is allocated exclusively to community trainers, creators, and network builders.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Earn Points Now">
    Train the LAM, create workflows, and refer users to accumulate LAM points before TGE
  </Step>

  <Step title="TGE Conversion">
    Your points automatically convert to \$LAM tokens based on your proportional share
  </Step>

  <Step title="Own Your Share">
    Your \$LAM tokens represent permanent ownership in the Action Model ecosystem
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  **The Clock Is Ticking**: Earnings now will be worth more than earnings later. Early epochs have higher multipliers, and the total allocations pool keeps growing, diluting latecomers.
</Warning>
