Rewards
Ranks
An eight-step ladder from visible newcomer to untraceable apex. Rank is not only a badge: every tier multiplies everything you earn.
Ranks are derived from your lifetime stars, so your status, and your boost, never drop. Every rank gets the essentials: a public rank badge on the leaderboard, a “Rank Up” notification when you climb, access to the Star Season dashboard, and the earning boost shown on its row. The unlocks below add on top of that.
The ladder
| Rank | Lifetime stars | Earning boost | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initiate | 0+ | 1× | Your first steps into private finance. |
| Operative | 50+ | 1.1× | Referral code and fee share. |
| Cipher | 150+ | 1.5× | None |
| Shade | 400+ | 1.75× | Early access to new private features (first wave). |
| Phantom | 1,000+ | 2× | Priority access to new integrations. |
| Wraith | 2,500+ | 2.5× | Priority allocation in future raises. |
| Specter | 5,000+ | 3× | Higher allocation cap and early whitelist for limited drops. |
| Obsidian | 10,000+ | 4× | Top allocation priority in future raises, plus public recognition as a Season 1 Obsidian operator. |
How the rank boost works
The multiplier on each row applies to every star you earn while you sit at that rank. It stacks on top of the per-action rates in Stars, so at Obsidian, a shield that would pay 30 stars pays 120.
- The boost is tied to your lifetime stars, so it only ever goes up. It never drops back down.
- Your rank is read before each reward is counted, so the transaction that pushes you into a new rank does not retroactively boost itself. The higher rate starts on your next action.
The two ends of the ladder
When a season ends
Ranks freeze when a season ends; new seasons launch later with fresh rewards. Your lifetime stars, and therefore the rank they earned, do not reset. See Star Season & leaderboard.
