# Progressive Rewards System

🎯 Performance-Based, Tiered Rewards

AstraPay’s **Progressive Rewards System** is designed to reward active merchants by reducing fees and offering $ASTRA token cashback based on total annual payment volume. The more you use AstraPay, the more value you unlock.

Each account is automatically assigned a **tier**, and progression is based on the total volume of crypto payments processed through your account over a 12-month period.

**💰 $ASTRA Cashback**

As your volume increases, you earn **$ASTRA tokens** as cashback. These tokens can be:

* Claimed directly from your dashboard
* Used to reduce future fees
* Burned for extra platform perks (e.g., limited-time 0% fee campaigns)

Your rewards update in real time, and your current tier, total earnings, and next milestone are clearly displayed in your dashboard.

#### 📈 Smart Incentives for Scaling

This system creates a **win-win model**:

* You save more as you grow
* You receive higher-value cashback
* You unlock better tools and platform privileges

Whether you're just starting or processing millions, AstraPay ensures you're rewarded every step of the way.
