* Unlock seasonal passes and exclusive game content
* Stake to earn **$esTOG** (escrowed version)
* Required for **governance participation**

## $esTOG — Escrowed TOG

$esTOG is a **non-transferable reward token** earned by staking $TOG on the Telgather Game Portal. It’s designed to align long-term users with the growth of the ecosystem through compounding utility and vesting mechanisms.

**Utility:**

* Grants **governance rights** for proposals and decision-making
* Boosts **in-game reward multipliers** and leaderboard modifiers
* Unlocks access to **exclusive events** (NFT drops, pre-sales, airdrops)
* Can be **vested back into liquid $TOG** over time
* Reinforces commitment through **non-tradeable alignment**

## POG — Proof of Game

**POG** is a non-transferable point system that reflects real user engagement across Telgather games. It is not a token, but a **proof-of-play reputation layer** that fuels seasonal competition, rewards, and game-specific benefits.

**Utility:**

* Tracked as **leaderboard score** for each season
* Determines **eligibility for $TOG rewards**
* Enforces anti-bot integrity via **velocity and participation caps**
* Unlocks power scaling and **cosmetic boosts** across mini-games
* Redeemable for **$TOG, Diamonds**, and other rewards on the Portal
