# How to Maximize Points?

**Optimal Staking Strategy for an Individual:**

* Step 1: Stakes 0.02 BTC to create a team
* Step 2: Use the Team Captain's invitation code to join (no staking required)
* Step 3: Use the Tier-2 Member's invitation code and stake all the BTC anyone wants to stake

To illustrate, let's use a family analogy: Grandfather (Team Captain), Father (Tier-2 Member), and Son (Tier-3 Member).

* *Case 1*: Grandfather alone stakes **1 BTC**:&#x20;
  * Total points =  **300 points**&#x20;
* *Case 2*: Grandfather creates a team and invites Father to join and stake **1 BTC**:&#x20;
  * Total points = Grandfather (300 \* 8%) + Father (300) = **324 points**
* *Case 3*: Grandfather creates a team, Father joins using Grandfather's code, and Son joins using Father's code and stakes **1 BTC**:
  * Total points = Grandfather (300 \* 16% \* 8%) + Father (300 \* 16%) + Son (300) = **351.84 points**

This example demonstrates that the case 3 maximizes point earnings.

**Optimal Strategy for 10 BTC Investment:**

1. Account 1 (Team Captain): Stake 0.02 BTC and create a team
2. Account 2 (Tier-2): Join using Account 1's invitation code (no staking required)
3. Account 3 (Tier-3): Join using Account 2's invitation code and stake the remaining **9.98 BTC**
