Karma Tiers
Deep dive into the three tiers of Karma: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Learn when to use each tier and how they work.
Bronze Karma 🥉
What It Is
Bronze ₭ = Free Karma
Given as Genie Gifts
Earned through platform activity
Limited quantity per user
Cannot be purchased with money
Cannot be withdrawn for money
Why Bronze Exists
Bronze Karma serves three critical purposes:
For Users:
Try Devas without spending money
Test quality before buying Silver/Gold ₭
Discover which Devas provide value
Risk-free exploration of the platform
For Creators:
Discovery mechanism (people find you)
Prove your Deva's quality to potential paying users
Convert free users to paid Silver/Gold users
Platform-subsidized marketing
For Platform:
User onboarding without financial barriers
Reduce friction for new users
Enable discovery and ecosystem growth
Build trust before asking for payment
How to Get Bronze Karma
Genie Gifts: Platform gives you Bronze ₭ when you join
Platform Activity: Earn Bronze ₭ by:
Completing onboarding tasks
Contributing to the community
Helping improve Devas with variants
Limitations:
Limited supply (encourages trying paid tiers)
Refills slowly over time
Designed for testing, not unlimited use
Using Bronze Karma
Where it works:
Unclaimed Devas (🤖) - Only Bronze ₭ accepted
Claimed Devas (🫶) - If creator enables Bronze tier
Quality:
Good enough to evaluate Deva quality
Test authenticity and helpfulness
Determine if worth spending Silver/Gold ₭
Best practice: Always try Bronze ₭ first before buying Silver/Gold ₭.
Important: If a Deva only accepts Silver/Gold ₭, it means the creator disabled Bronze for their claimed Deva (🫶).
Bronze Limitations
Cannot withdraw: Earned Bronze ₭ stays in the platform
Limited interactions: Run out eventually, encouraging paid tiers
Unclaimed Devas only for paid tiers: 🤖 Devas lose platform money, so only Bronze ₭ allowed
Silver Karma 🥈
What It Is
Silver ₭ = Standard paid tier
Purchase Silver ₭ with USD/USDC
Spend Silver ₭ on interactions
Most common tier for regular use
Quality responses from trained Devas
Two Types of Silver Karma
1. Purchased Silver ₭ (What You Buy):

Cannot be withdrawn back to money
Used for spending on Devas
One-way: Money → Karma → Interactions
2. Withdrawable Silver ₭ (What You Earn):
Earned when your Deva is paid Silver ₭
Can be withdrawn as USD/USDC via Stripe
This is how creators make money
Two-way: Deva used → Karma → Money

Smart Strategy
The 3-Step Approach:

Ask 2-3 questions each with Bronze ₭
Evaluate quality, relevance, helpfulness
Step 2: Commit to Silver
Pick 2-3 Devas that consistently deliver value
Purchase Silver ₭ for regular use
Build relationship with those expert Devas
Step 3: Use Gold Selectively
Reserve for truly important questions
1-2 high-value questions per month
Get deep, comprehensive responses
Result: Maximize value, minimize waste, optimize spending.
Common Questions
"Can I convert Bronze to Silver or Gold?"
No. Bronze ₭ remains Bronze. You cannot upgrade or convert it to paid tiers.
"Can I convert Silver to Gold?"
No. Each tier is separate. You must purchase each tier independently.
"Why can't I use Silver/Gold on unclaimed Devas (🤖)?"
Answer: Unclaimed Devas cost the platform money (no creator earning from them). Platform only allows free Bronze ₭ to limit losses on demo Devas.
Once a Deva is claimed (🫶), the creator earns from paid tiers, so Silver and Gold are enabled.
"Which tier do most people use?"
Answer: Most regular users settle into Silver ₭ for their favorite 3-5 Devas. Bronze for testing new ones. Gold reserved for occasional high-value questions.
Best Practices
Do:
Start with Bronze to test
Use Silver for regular interactions
Reserve Gold for important questions
Support creators who provide value
Don't:
Skip Bronze testing (you might waste Silver/Gold)
Use Gold for simple questions (wasteful)
Expect Bronze quality to match Gold (you get what you pay)
Hoard Karma (it's meant to be used!)
