Ranks & perks
Every SOL you send, whether a feed or a push, earns DUST. DUST is stored on your player account on-chain and only ever goes up. It's never spent: ranks and perks unlock at lifetime thresholds, so anyone can verify what a player has earned straight from the chain.
DUST never buys an edge
Every perk is identity, memory or status. None of them change odds, payouts, fees or ordering. The game stays the same flat bet for everyone.
How much DUST a send earns is in the STARDUST rules. In short: 1,000 per SOL, up to 2.5× for sending early in a star's life, and up to 1.2× for taking a big slice. A 1 SOL nursery feed is worth about 2,500 DUST.
Ranks
Your rank is shown on your profile, on the boards, and in the colour of your name. The colours follow a star's temperature, from unlit grey to ember to white-hot to blue.
| Rank | Lifetime DUST |
|---|---|
| Drifter | 0 |
| Ember | 500 |
| Kindler | 2,500 |
| Stoker | 8,000 |
| Forgehand | 20,000 |
| Starwright | 50,000 |
| Novabound | 120,000 |
| Heliarch | 300,000 |
| Singularity | 750,000 |
Perks
| Perk | Unlocks at | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Callsign | 2,500 | Your name burns over every push you make, for everyone watching the star. |
| Colours | 6,000 | Pick the tint your callsign burns in: Ember, Ice, Terra, Violet, Rose or Bone. |
| Atlas | 12,000 | Wear any world you've seeded, not only the one the game picked. |
| Observatory | 25,000 | Your profile card opens into every star you've ever touched. |
| Signet | 40,000 | A live corona burns around your world. |
| Epitaph | 80,000 | Kill a star and cut a line of up to 140 characters into its archive, forever. |
Without a callsign, you appear as ANON. The game never shows a shortened wallet address instead, because four characters are enough to follow someone across every board.
Your profile
Open it from the badge in the corner or from Menu → Profile. It shows:
- your rank, lifetime DUST, and the next perk you're closest to
- the world you're wearing, and your full atlas of worlds and remnants
- your lifetime PnL, calculated from your actual activity (refunds, fees and rent included). You can hide it from visitors.
- your callsign and tint, if you've unlocked them
Profiles are public. Tap anyone on the boards to visit theirs.
A new wallet starts with an unlit disc labelled UNSEEDED and every perk locked, with the exact DUST each one needs. Everything on the card is something you make by playing.
The boards
Menu → The Boards. The top three get a podium, and if you're outside the visible list, your own row is pinned to the bottom.
| Board | Ranks players by |
|---|---|
| DUST | Lifetime DUST |
| KILLS | Stars killed |
| WORLDS | Worlds built (one for every nursery feed that landed) |
