Why no staking contract

Staking contracts hold user funds. That means audit risk, potential for bugs that drain wallets, lock periods that frustrate holders. We'd rather not own that risk.

Reading a balance is read-only. Your tokens stay in your wallet. You keep full custody, full liquidity, full upside on the same $LPAD that also unlocks features. Sell when you want; tier auto-adjusts on the next check.

API

Public endpoint, CORS-enabled, no auth.

GET /api/tier/{address}

What's not included

→ Tier doesn't affect token deploy fees (still 80/15/5 for everyone)
→ Tier doesn't affect $LPAD market price or buy-side mechanics
→ Tier doesn't guarantee specific feature shipping timelines
→ No governance vote attached to tier (yet)

Hold what you want, get what you earn.

No commitments either way. The token works the same in your wallet whether you check your tier daily or never.
