What a tier is
A tier is a rung on a ladder. Each tier typically has:- A threshold — the metric (XP, points, purchases) required to reach the tier.
- A set of perks — benefits you get while you’re at or above that tier (exclusive rewards, multipliers, early access).
- A visual treatment — icon, colour, label.
Where it shows
- The widget home can show your current tier prominently.
- A tier-progress meter shows how close you are to the next tier.
- Tier details expand to show the perks at each tier.
How progression works
As you earn XP (or the configured tier metric), you move up. Most communities use XP as the tier metric, but it’s configurable. Tier downgrades — when they exist — are community-defined (for example, rolling annual XP windows).Configuration
Tier labels, thresholds, artwork, and perks are all configured per community. The widget renders whatever the community has set up.Related
