How Can I Upgrade My SOUL?
You can upgrade your SOUL Token by participating in live events, connecting with new people, and contributing to the ecosystem. The more people you meet, and the more engaged you become, the more the level of your token increases. 

However, if you are inactive for a prolonged period of time, your SOUL’s Level diminishes. This dynamic process promotes active community involvement and drives meaningful engagement within the ecosystem.

For more information on SOUL levelling, see our whitepaper →.
15
How Can I Earn $PAIRED Tokens?
If you want to earn $PAIRED tokens, one of the best ways is to attend Meet-ups. All you have to do to get rewards is to connect with at least one new person at these events.

However, the amount of $PAIRED tokens you earn depends on a few factors:

The number of people at the meet-up. You usually get more rewards if there are at least 15 people.

RSVPing to an event in advance. If you have a verified Twitter account and create an event well in advance, both you and those who RSVP early get a bonus.

The quantity of $PAIRED tokens you've held for the last month. If you've kept your tokens for at least a month, you get a bonus multiplier. The more tokens you keep, the larger your bonus.

The level of your SOUL token. The higher your SOUL level, the more $PAIRED tokens you can earn at each meet-up you attend because your bonus limit is higher.
