# Core Mechanisms

- [AdLunam Ecosystem](https://adlunam-inc.gitbook.io/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/adlunam-ecosystem.md): The five layers that make up the AdLunam ecosystem—scored, ranked, and powered by your activity.
- [Earning vs Staking](https://adlunam-inc.gitbook.io/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/earning-vs-staking.md): Earn it. Stake it. Either way, your Lunam Rank controls what you unlock.
- [$LUNAM Token](https://adlunam-inc.gitbook.io/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/earning-vs-staking/usdlunam-token.md): $LUNAM is the fuel behind rank, access, perks, & matching across the AdLunam ecosystem.
- [What you can do with $LUNAM](https://adlunam-inc.gitbook.io/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/earning-vs-staking/what-you-can-do-with-usdlunam.md): This isn’t some governance token with vibes. $LUNAM gets you in.
- [Lunam Ranks](https://adlunam-inc.gitbook.io/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/lunam-ranks.md): Your rank is your key. Earn it. Stake it. Flex it.
- [Earned Ranks](https://adlunam-inc.gitbook.io/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/lunam-ranks/earned-ranks.md): Earn ranks through activity. It’s slower than staking—but it gets you seen.
- [Staked Ranks](https://adlunam-inc.gitbook.io/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/lunam-ranks/staked-ranks.md): Get into Staked Rank IDO pools. Unlock higher allocations by staking $LUNAM.
- [Proof of Attention™ (PoA)](https://adlunam-inc.gitbook.io/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/proof-of-attention-tm-poa.md): Connect to start building your PoA profile—used to match you to real opportunities.
- [What PoA tracks](https://adlunam-inc.gitbook.io/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/proof-of-attention-tm-poa/what-poa-tracks.md): You don’t see your PoA profile. But the system does.
