# BITPOWER

BitPower is a metric for ranking users on BitStarters Launchpad. User’s BitPower will determine their eligibility for a slot in Priority List and their chance in Whitelist Lottery. User must stake at least 1000 BITS to earn 1 BitPower. For every additionally 5000 BITS staked, a user earns 1 Bitpower up to a maximum of 20 BitPower. For instance: Less than 1000 BITS = 0 BitPower, 1000-5000 BITS = 1 BitPower, 5001 -10,000 BITS = 2 BitPower, 10,001 – 15,000 = 3 BitPower, … 95,001 -100,000 BITS = 19 BitPower, 100,000+ BITS = 20 BitPower.
