# Boost Mechanics

* A boost may be purchased anytime
* Cool-down to buy the next boost: 3 days (or skip for +200 $DEEP)
* 100 % of boost burn goes to liquidity, operations & marketing

| Tier  | Burn      | Duration | Bonus        |
| ----- | --------- | -------- | ------------ |
| Light | 100 $DEEP | 90 days  | +5% XP rate  |
| Mid   | 250 $DEEP | 60 days  | +10% XP rate |
| Heavy | 500 $DEEP | 30 days  | +15% XP rate |

* When you boost, a soul-bound NFT mints to your wallet and activates instantly
* Only one Pass can be active at a time. Buying a higher tier overwrites the current one (time remaining is lost)

Token flow: 60% of every boost cost feeds the reward pools; 40% funds infrastructure and marketing.
