TEPO FORGE
NFT Progression, Access & On-Chain Identity Engine
Purpose of the TEPO NFT Forge
The TEPO NFT Forge is an on-chain NFT upgrade and progression system that transforms TEPO NFTs into living financial identities.
Instead of being static collectibles, TEPO NFTs can be:
Upgraded over time
Strengthened through real ecosystem participation
Granted deeper access to yield, governance, and protocol benefits
The Forge allows holders to earn their way forward, turning NFTs into long-term assets that grow alongside the user.
This is not just customization — it’s proof of contribution, reputation, and access.
Core Philosophy
Your NFT evolves as you contribute.
The TEPO NFT Forge aligns:
Visual identity (traits, badges, effects)
On-chain activity (liquidity, staking, governance)
Financial power (yield boosts, fee reductions, access)
The more value you bring to the ecosystem, the stronger your NFT becomes.
This naturally:
Rewards long-term holders
Discourages flipping
Creates real emotional and financial attachment
What Is the TEPO NFT Forge?
The TEPO NFT Forge is a fully on-chain system that allows NFT holders to upgrade and enhance their NFTs by modifying:
✔ NFT tier & progression level ✔ Metadata attributes ✔ Utility modifiers ✔ Visual elements tied to achievements
All upgrades are:
Non-custodial
On-chain verified
Transparent
Directly tied to ecosystem contribution
Your NFT is not edited arbitrarily — it is forged through action.
Core Features of the TEPO NFT Forge
NFT Progression System (Tier Ascension)
TEPO NFTs are designed to progress through tiers over time.
Progression Path
Base → Enhanced → Ascended → Legendary
Tier upgrades are unlocked by:
Providing liquidity on TEPO Stable Swap DEX
Staking and holding $TEPO
Long-term participation
Governance involvement
Each tier upgrade:
Increases yield boosts
Unlocks new protocol access
Enhances NFT rarity and status
Upgrades are earned, not bought.
Visual Trait Upgrades (Identity Layer)
Visual changes represent real on-chain milestones.
Upgradeable traits include:
Backgrounds
Frames
Badges
Effects
Special visual marks
Trait Categories
Cosmetic
Visual personalization
Achievement
Proof of contribution
Utility
Yield & access modifiers
Some traits are permanent, while others are time-locked or tier-gated, reinforcing long-term commitment.
Achievement Badges (On-Chain Reputation)
NFTs earn dynamic, non-transferable badges based on real actions.
🏆 Examples:
Genesis Liquidity Provider
Top Stable LP
Governance Contributor
Long-Term Staker
Badges:
Are visible directly in NFT metadata
Increase yield boosts or governance weight
Cannot be faked, traded, or transferred
Your reputation stays with your NFT.
Utility Modifiers (Real Financial Benefits)
Certain upgrades unlock functional advantages across the TEPO ecosystem, such as:
Higher LP APY
Reduced DEX trading fees
Lower vault performance fees
Priority access to new pools
Early access to new features
These modifiers are: ✔ NFT-bound ✔ Earned through activity ✔ Revoked if conditions are no longer met
Utility follows contribution — always.
Role of $TEPO in the NFT Forge
$TEPO powers the Forge.
It is required for:
Tier ascensions
Trait upgrades
Utility activations
Token Sink Mechanics
$TEPO used in the Forge is split between:
Burns (deflationary pressure)
Treasury allocation (ecosystem sustainability)
This creates:
Continuous $TEPO demand
Long-term value alignment
A sustainable token economy
Stablecoin Integration
Some upgrades require small stablecoin fees (USDC / USDT).
These fees:
Prevent spam upgrades
Anchor value to real assets
Support protocol sustainability
Stablecoin fees flow into:
TEPO Treasury
Yield pools
NFT holder incentives
Security & Fairness Design
The Forge is built with strict safeguards:
One-way upgrades (no downgrade abuse)
Cooldown periods between upgrades
Anti-sybil rules
Fully transparent requirements
Progression reflects real effort, not manipulation.
