# Earned Ranks

***

### **Anyone can stake. Not everyone earns it.**

You don’t need [**$LUNAM**](/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/earning-vs-staking/usdlunam-token.md) to climb. You just need to show up.\
Earned Ranks are for the ones who **show up consistently**—not just once.

You earn [**Lunam Points**](/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/adlunam-social/get-ranked/lunam-points.md) by completing quests, earning badges, and staying active on [**AdLunam Social**](/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/adlunam-social/what-is-adlunam-social.md).\
Stack enough, and you’ll unlock a [**Rank**](/adlunam-inc.-whitepaper/core-mechanisms/lunam-ranks.md).\
\
And they hit different.
