Alpha Exchange introduces a tier-based staking system designed to reward long-term $AMETA holders with **priority allocations**, **early access**, and **multiplied rewards** during Alpha Exchange and Alpha City ICO launches.

Each tier reflects your level of commitment to the ecosystem and determines your **allocation multiplier** — how much access you receive during token sales, airdrops, and early-stage project launches.

***

### 🎯 How It Works

To participate in launchpad events on Alpha Exchange, users must stake $AMETA tokens.\
The number of tokens staked determines your tier, which in turn multiplies your **allocation size** when new projects launch on the platform.

This system ensures **fair distribution**, rewards long-term holders, and empowers the community to share in Alpha City’s early-stage investment opportunities.
