Staking $ELVX gives users governance voting rights and unlocks premium features on EleveX—early access to new launchpad listings, enhanced purchasing opportunities, and permission for real-estate creators to list projects. By staking, creators can showcase their projects while users gain pre-sale access and can participate in secondary-market sales.

### Governance (ratio 1:1 holding or delegated)

* **Temperature Check:** 1,000 $ELVX
* **Governance Proposal:** 250,000 $ELVX

### Users Staking Tiers

* **VIP Tier (min. $ELVX staked: $500):** \
  Project pre-sale access **Yes**\
  Extra project APY **Yes**
* **Basic (min. $ELVX staked: $0):** \
  Project pre-sale access **No**\
  Extra project APY **No**

### Project Creators Staking

* **Tier 0 — $500 $ELVX staked:** Max capital raised per project **$1,000,000**
* **Tier 1 — $1,000 $ELVX staked:** Max capital raised per project **> $1,000,000**

This simple tiering ensures genuine commitment from both buyers and creators while keeping access fair and scalable across the EleveX ecosystem.
