# Tephra FAQ

### About Tephra

<details>

<summary><strong>How does the “Mission” work</strong></summary>

The Missions are structured initiatives designed to reward users for engaging in specific activities on Lavarage. Users can earn Tephra points by trading, staking, or participating in community-building efforts. The specific activities and points allocation may vary from one Mission to another to ensure the program remains dynamic and aligned with our strategic goals.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How long will the “Missions” last?</strong></summary>

Each Mission spans a period of two weeks. This timeframe allows users sufficient opportunity to engage with the platform meaningfully while enabling us to regularly update and optimize the activities and rewards. There will be around 8-10 Missions in total.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How are Tephra calculated?</strong></summary>

Tephra points are calculated based on the level of user engagement in designated activities such as trading, staking, and community participation. The exact metrics for calculation may change per Mission to adapt to evolving objectives and user feedback.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Is there a cap on the number of Tephra distributed each “Mission”?</strong></summary>

We understand that many point programs set a cap to create scarcity and generate "FOMO" among users. While setting a maximum supply makes sense for tokens, we believe points should work differently. That's why we won’t be capping Tephra points. Instead, we’ll adjust the rate at which points are distributed based on the value each activity brings during each Mission. Our goal is to encourage continuous value creation without discouraging participation at any time.
