In the bustling universe of DeFi, Lavarage stands out with its pioneering decentralized spot margin trading platform and has gained great support from our Lavanauts. To further incentivize participation and loyalty, we are thrilled to introduce Tephra, the exclusive reward point system of Lavarage.

## What is Tephra? <a href="#eb85" id="eb85"></a>

Tephra serves as the cornerstone of Lavarage’s reward point system. It is designed to incentivize users not only to trade and (soon) provide liquidity on our platform, but also to engage with our community and help spread the word about Lavarage. Whether you are trading high stakes or contributing socially, Tephra is here to make your journey more rewarding.

## How to Earn Tephra? <a href="#id-7850" id="id-7850"></a>

The Tephra points program is designed to cover all value-add activities on our platform since its inception. These activities can be divided into the following categories (but not limited to):

* **Trading**
* **Staking**
* **Community-building**

## Program Structure (Missions)

Every two weeks, we launch a new mission, giving you fresh opportunities to boost your rewards. With about 10 missions on the horizon, there are plenty of chances to stack up on your Tephra.

During each Mission, the amount of Tephra awarded to each category and the activities within each category may change. This gives us the flexibility to optimize the effectiveness of the points program in bringing us the activities that would be the most beneficial to Lavarage at the point of time.
