Hey Stashhers! 💎

We hope that you are staying healthy and happy during this bear market. We’ve been busy at Stashh HQ, and today we’re beyond thrilled to announce the launch of three big new features:

❤️ Stashh Rewards

💠 Stashh Gems

🚀 User Levels

These new features are designed to reward and protect collectors and creators on Stashh - and they set Stashhers up for some interesting upcoming (still secret) opportunities.

They are all live on platform today and waiting for you to explore them! Read on for details👇🏼

Stashh Rewards

We are honored that you have chosen to be part of the Stashh community, and we want to do all that we can to thank and reward you for your support ❤️

That's where Stashh Rewards comes in. It’s a new way to get rewarded for being active on Stashh, and it centers around three things…

1. Achievements
2. Reputation
3. Rewards

Completing challenges on Stashh unlocks Achievements, which grant you Reputation and Rewards. For example, when you mint your first Secret Badge you get the Stashh Badger Achievement, which unlocks an exclusive “Badger” role in Discord 🦡

We’re acutely aware that these kinds of schemes can be a great way for you to get doxxed, so we’ve designed Stashh Rewards to be private by default. This way you can choose what you want to flex, and what is just for you.

The Stashh Rewards program is a great way to qualify for future airdrops, earn Stashh Gems (discussed below), unlock exclusive Discord roles, and other amazing prizes and experiences that we have yet to publicly share!

How do I participate?

Just keep using Stashh! Everything that you’re already doing will earn rewards on the platform, so keep up the great work - and keep exploring. This is the first iteration of what we believe will be a major part of the Stashh experience. We’ll be adding more achievements and expanding the selection of rewards very soon. You never know what might unlock a new achievement or reward 🤫

To access the Stashh Rewards page, head to your Dashboard and click the Stashh Rewards button located near the top of the left menu. You’ll be able to keep track of your achievements and Discord roles here. Be sure to link your Discord to your profile in order to activate your Discord roles!

Stashh Gems ⟐

Stashh Gems are an on-platform currency that powers-up premium experiences and features on Stashh. We’re using this symbol to represent gems: ⟐, so 100⟐ means 100 Stashh Gems.

As we add new features and products to Stashh more and more use cases will be added for Gems allowing you to super-charge your Stashh experience. At first, Gems will allow creators to purchase gas-free mints for their Secret Badges.

If you’re an existing user of Stashh, don’t worry; we have no plans to charge Gems for any of the core features on Stashh that you’re familiar with. You’ll always be able to browse, create, view, and manage your collections on Stashh for free, but you will be able to super-charge some features with Gems to get an even greater user experience 🚀

Existing creators will automatically receive a generous allocation of free mints, so any Secret Badges you have will keep working.

How can I get some Stashh Gems?

There are a few ways to acquire Gems, but the main ones are purchasing, earning, and grants.

Gems can be purchased at a rate of 50⟐ for 1 SCRT from the Gems section of your  Dashboard where you can also see your balance and all of your transactions.

Gems can be earned alongside staking rewards by delegating SCRT to the Stashh Secret Network validator (more details soon!) or by participating in future quests and events.

If you’re an active community-building or non-profit project, Stashh is interested in providing generous grants to you so that you can use premium or Gem-gated features for free. If this applies to you, please reach out to us via our Grants Program ❤️

User Levels

User Levels are a public-facing property on your Stashh profile that reflects your current reputation and standing in the Stashh community. Think of your User Level as a reputation score, as well as a way to participate in exclusive upcoming programs at Stashh!

Stashh will use User Levels to help protect against Sybil attacks from farmed profiles, as well as gate-keep access to high-impact or high-cost features that are at significant risk of abuse.

The higher your level, the more opportunities and access will be unlocked for you. Levels can unlock exclusive Discord roles, open up early opportunities on Stashh, qualify you for special events, rewards, giveaways, and much more!

For example, we will release a new product soon called Stashh of the Day 🤫 There’s rewards and prizes involved, but only profiles that are a certain level and above can participate. Don’t worry - we’ll create another blog post to share all of the details so that you’re prepared.

Levels are also one of the core components of Open Minting, so expect to see more about that soon…

How can I level up?

Pretty simple: you gain Levels by adding and verifying indicators of trust and reputation to your Stashh profile. Every piece of information you add and verify gives you points, and points translate into Levels.

Currently, you can link your Discord and Twitter accounts. We also have plans to add email, domains, and staking history.

Anything you link and verify with Stashh is private by default! No other Stashh user will know this information, unless you choose to make it public on your profile. Only your user level is public by default.

You can see your User Level by clicking your profile icon located at the top right corner of the page. In the example below, this profile has a User Level of 2.

Your current level will be shown as a progress bar on your profile, so you can always check your current level and see how many points you need until your next level is unlocked 🔓

🚨 We highly recommend linking your Discord profile and achieving Level 2 if you want to qualify for some major upcoming opportunities!

Thanks for reading!

We’ve been very hard at work on these features, as they form the foundation for many of the features, updates, and products we’re hoping to launch over the coming months.

Our team is always looking for ways to improve your experience at Stashh, and we welcome your comments. As usual, if you have any questions or feedback you can reach out to us on our Discord chat.stashh.io or on Twitter @StashhApp.
