# $wRIZ Staking Tiers

By staking $wRIZ, you qualify for one of the following reward tiers:

The more $wRIZ you stake, the higher your APY boost.\
The APY boost is always distributed in **$wRIZ**, on top of the yield your stablecoins already generate inside MOZAI.

## **zNode Holder Benefits**

zNode holders are some of the earliest and most committed pillars of the Rivalz ecosystem. MOZAI recognises that.

All **zNode holders** are treated as if they were in **Tier 3** by default.

This means:

* Even without staking 3,000,000 $wRIZ, a zNode holder starts from a **+3.00% APY boost**, paid in **$wRIZ**.
* If a zNode holder also stakes enough $wRIZ to qualify for Tier 4 or Tier 5, the higher tier applies.

In short: zNodes guarantee you a strong baseline boost, and staking $wRIZ lets you go even further.
