Tiers and plans

[ tier break-even ]

When a paid tier pays for itself against Lite (free), with its yearly fee and monthly cashback cap counted.

  • You need to spend at least $900 a month for Core ($199/yr) to beat Lite (free).
  • Platinum (free) beats Lite (free) at any spend, if you hold the XPL it needs (below).
[ staking check ]
  • Core: hold 20,000 XPL. Live price unavailable right now.
  • Platinum: hold 100,000 XPL. Live price unavailable right now.

Prices from CoinGecko, updated hourly. A stake is your own money locked up, not a fee, but its value moves with the token.
