# CHIPs (cHIPs) **cHIPs** are Nunchi non‑transferable points that recognize real contribution to the exchange. They are used to * reward participation (liquidity, staking, trading), * gate early access where needed, * measure contribution across seasons. ### Two roles in the game #### 1. HYPE Staking **Action:** stake HYPE to mint **nHYPE.**\ **Goal:** help secure the HIP‑3 deployer stake requirement. Early participation is rewarded via tiered multipliers (example schedule):

#### 2. Liquidity Provider **Action:** deposit stablecoins into **nLP** (liquidity vault).\ **Goal:** deepen market depth for tight spreads and stable execution. Pendle integrations can add additional multipliers (see Pendle page). *** ### Epochs & distribution CHIPs are distributed in fixed cycles (epochs). Your share is based on your **time‑weighted contribution** relative to others in your lane. *** ### Fair use CHIPs are designed to reward real participation, not mechanical farming. Self‑trades, wash trading, and manipulation may be filtered, capped, or clawed back. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
