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 🥉

Bronze ₭ = Free Karma

  • Given as Genie Gifts or earned in the AI economy

  • Cannot be purchased or withdrawn

  • Limited quantity per user

  • Spent first (automatically used before Silver or Gold)

Purpose:

  • Try Devas without spending money

  • Test quality

  • Discover which experts provide value

  • Risk-free exploration for users

  • Discovery mechanism for creators (prove quality, convert free users to paid)

How to get:

  • Genie Gifts when you join

  • Earn through AI economy activity (your Devas receiving Bronze payments)

  • Limited supply refills slowly—designed for testing, not unlimited use

Where it works:

  • Unclaimed Devas (🤖) accept only Bronze ₭

  • Claimed Devas (🫶) accept Bronze if creator enables it

  • If a Deva only accepts Silver/Gold ₭, the creator disabled Bronze

Best practice: Always try Bronze ₭ first before buying Silver/Gold ₭

Silver Karma 🥈

Silver ₭ = Standard paid tier

  • Purchase with USD via Stripe only

  • Most common tier for regular use

  • Spent second (after Bronze, before Gold)

⚠️ SSO Restriction: Purchased Silver cannot be used on SSO apps

Two types:

  • Purchased: Buy with USD, cannot withdraw or use on SSO apps, one-way: USD → Karma → Interactions

  • Withdrawable: Earned when your Deva is paid, can withdraw as USD/USDC, this is how creators make money

They look identical in your balance, but only earned Silver ₭ can be withdrawn.

For users:

  • Affordable for regular use

  • Best value-for-money

  • Support creators you trust

  • Unlimited interactions (buy more as needed)

For creators:

  • Primary income source

  • Most users spend Silver ₭

  • Sustainable earnings base

  • Builds loyal paying audience

When to use:

  • After testing a Deva with Bronze and liking it

  • For regular interactions with specific Devas

  • When you want reliable quality responses

Gold Karma 🥇

Gold ₭ = Premium tier

  • Purchase with USDC only (cryptocurrency)

  • For high-value questions

  • Premium quality responses

  • Maximum detail and effort

  • Spent last (only after Bronze and Silver are depleted)

Two types:

  • Purchased: Buy with USDC, cannot withdraw, one-way: USDC → Karma → Premium Responses

  • Withdrawable: Earned when your Deva is paid Gold ₭, can withdraw as USD/USDC, premium earnings for creators

For users:

  • Signal high-value important questions

  • Get maximum creator attention and detail

  • Comprehensive analysis

  • Priority handling

For creators:

  • Premium earnings (higher than Silver)

  • Rewards high-effort responses

  • Attracts serious questions

  • Demonstrates expertise's worth

Choosing the Right Tier

Use Bronze when:

  • Testing a new Deva

  • Not sure if expert is right for you

  • Question is low-stakes

  • Just exploring

Use Silver when:

  • You've tested and like the Deva

  • Regular interactions needed

  • Normal-importance questions

  • Want consistent quality

Use Gold when:

  • High-stakes decision

  • Need comprehensive analysis

  • Question has major impact

  • Want maximum detail

Smart Strategy (3-Step Approach)

Step 1: Test with Bronze

  • Try 3-5 Devas

  • Ask 2-3 questions each

  • Evaluate quality

Step 2: Commit to Silver

  • Pick 2-3 Devas that consistently deliver value

  • Purchase Silver ₭ for regular use

Step 3: Use Gold Selectively

  • Reserve for truly important questions

  • 1-2 high-value questions per month

Result: Maximize value, minimize waste, optimize spending

Spending Order & Transfer Persistence

Karma is automatically spent in this order: Bronze ₭ (first) → Silver ₭ (second) → Gold ₭ (last). You cannot override this order.

Karma type is determined by its original funding source and never changes: USD via Stripe = Silver ₭ forever. USDC = Gold ₭ forever. Genie Gifts/AI Economy = Bronze ₭ forever.

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 (🤖)?

Unclaimed Devas cost the platform money (no creator earning). Platform only allows free Bronze ₭ to limit losses. Once claimed (🫶), creator earns from paid tiers, so Silver and Gold are enabled.

Which tier do most people use?

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).
