**BaseFriend tipping is coming to Farcaster 🔑💙** Stake creator and club keys, receive a daily allowance, and use it to tip fellow BaseFriends through Farcaster comments. Here’s how it will work: **Who qualifies?** You need **at least 15 creator and/or club keys staked inside BaseFriend**. Unstaked holdings don’t count. You can combine keys from different markets to reach the minimum. Each stake has a **seven-day lock**. Unstaking reduces your allowance from the following day; dropping below 15 staked keys makes you ineligible for the staking allowance. **How is your allowance calculated?** The system will automatically distribute the daily tipping pool proportionally to your share of the total eligible, boosted stake. More staked keys and higher market multipliers mean a larger share. **How do boosts work?** Each market’s base multiplier depends on its follower count. Claiming its Genesis Key doubles that multiplier. For example, Chef’s base multiplier is **1.5×**; once claimed, it becomes **3×**. Staking two Chef keys gives you **6 units of allowance weight**—it doesn’t multiply each tip by six. BaseFriend Club at **1×** gives one unit of weight per staked key. Base Club at **6.2×** gives 6.2 units per key. **The 15-key minimum counts actual staked keys, not boosted weight.** **What about claimed creators?** Claimed creators receive a daily allowance even without staking. They’re exempt from the 15-key minimum, and staking can increase their allowance—even starting with one key. **Does staking $KEY in Empire count?** No. Staking the **$KEY token in Empire** earns separate rewards from the Empire treasury. Tipping eligibility comes from staking **creator/club keys inside BaseFriend**, with the claimed-creator exception above. We’re planning to run tipping for **one year**, then review the next year based on how things develop. Jey is building the system, and we’ll share the launch details soon. Questions?
