During the last Liotes Mission @globetrottergcc wrote that he earned about 320$ a month with rising star. This got me interested! So I went back to play my missions. When playing such games, you can actually learn a lot from more experienced players. The nice thing is that I have with @ph1102, alias @SplinterlandsGuy, a specialist of the game in the Liotes team. He is at the moment 36th in the rising star ranking! I believe he probably knows what he is doing. I asked him if he could help me to kick-start my game.
We thought that maybe you are also interested in learning how to boost your rising star career and for this reason we tried to record our online rising star meeting for you. It's a first and the quality is certainly improvable. Hope you like it and you learn something as well!
A couple of days ago @ph1102 posted a funny meme into the Liotes discord chat and it gave me an idea for this week's mission. Especially for our community, I believe that crypto takes a more and more important place in our assets and our savings. What part does crypto take in your overall assets? Is it 5%, 10% or maybe you have only crypto, so it would be 100%?

When we first started our Liotes project everyone had an opportunity to jump early into earning $LEN tokens by mining them... We had a 10 days offer for $LENM tokens (Liotes Energy Mills, or mining token) at the price of only 4 HIVE... And still, you can mine $LEN tokens by staking your $LENM tokens...
In the meantime, we have developed another way for earning LEN tokens by delegating your HivePower to our [Liotes.voter](https://peakd.com/hive-183630/@liotes/znfoqecj). By doing that, you will receive $LEN tokens as a reward in a form of a daily dividend...
Check out the video for more details...
IMPORTANT: All HivePower delegations have to be sent to the @liotes.voter account!

Tuesdays on Liotes are reserved for creative posts about different aspects of the project, or about some other investment opportunities, or ideas, like in this video... We have created one video before with [our view about the MusicForLife tribe](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@liotes/rckclzyj), their tokens, and why we have invested in them and will invest in the future...
Almost two months after that video, the team around M4L has created a new farming platform here on HIVE, where you can stake Hive-Engine tokens and earn VFT tokens, which has its use case! The platform isn't yet finished, but it is in some kind of "Alpha stage", it works, farming is working, but there are still things to finish and bugs to be fixed...
If you are familiar with [CubDeFi](https://cubdefi.com/) you will notice a big similarity with [VFTLab.Finance](https://vftlab.finance/)... One of the biggest differences is that VFTLab is completely powered by HIVE, and there is no need for additional plugins, tokens, etc. to make it work... You just need Hive Keychain and you are ready to go!
Also, another big difference is that farmed VFT tokens have use-case as a token that will be used for buying different NFTs, so in a certain way, it is backed up with that... When you want to stake certain tokens, there is a deposit fee that will be used for burning VFT tokens, but even when you purchase some NFT with them, the transaction fees will be burned!
At the moment, it is possible to stake VIBES, STARBITS, LEO, DEC, HIVE, and VFT tokens, but they are planning to add more tokens in the future...
Check out the video for more details...

During the last two weeks, we have organized the Liotes Staking Challenge to celebrate the first birthday of the Liotes project. Exactly one year ago today, the Liotes Launch took place.
The participants just needed to stake as many LENM tokens as possible to participate in this challenge.
28 people enrolled and 21 of them actually staked some tokens and are therefore elegible to win some prize money in the form of LENM tokens. Among all the participants 136 LENM tokens were staked during this challenge. The 5 best stakers will win one of the special prizes.
Check the video to see the drawing of the special prizes!

With Hive prices going up during the last weeks, hive-engine tokens lost value in respect to hive. Be it for LEO, CTP, POB or VIBES, they are all in the same boat. The Liotes project is invested in these tokens but even if they lose value, this doesn't affect the project.
All the hive from sales of LENM is powered up in the Liotes fund and delegated out to get dividends. It's these dividends that actually funded the investments in these Hive Engine tokens. These Hive Engine tokens are growing on their own and 10% of their return is invested back into the fund. If the prices of these tokens goes down, this means simply that the liotes fund is growing a little bit at a slower pace.
**We actually profited from these low prices to boost our holdings in LEO (+10%) and CTP (+3%) during the last week.**
## More than full supply burnt
Last week a lot of LEN tokens were sold back to us and it allowed us to burn more than the weekly supply and we could compensate a bit the previous weeks where we couldn't burn as much as we wanted.

Like every Monday we have a look at the financial data of the Liotes project.
This week, we have reached a threshold for the @liotes.voter. We have now close to 28'000 Hive Power that are upvoting the posts of the community. This stake is composed by delegations from the community members and also by the liotes.fund who contributes 13'000 HP to it.
## Some problems with our voting service
We are having some troubles with the voting service that we are using and at the moment we are doing 100% manual curation. This means also that the votes might be a bit different than usual.
## Lower curation rewards since Hard Fork 25
With the latest hard fork of the Hive blockchain, the curation rewards have become linear in nature. At least during the first 24h after publication of a post. This means also that everybody gets more or less the same return on curation. At the moment it is very difficult to get more than 11% APR on curation. When you delegate Hive Power to @liotes.voter, we actually pay you at the moment 12% APR in the form of LEN tokens. This means that by delegating your hive power, you can get a higher return than by curating yourself!
**In the video we present the detailed numbers of this week**

We were joking on discord about organizing a Liotes Meetup in real life and we realized that we didn't know where most people from the community were actually living. We know about some people but not about the ones the joined lately.
## The challenge of this week
The question is easy this week. In which country do you live? If you don't feel comfortable in saying it, check the video for possible alternatives ;-)

Adding new products for sale and rent to our Liotes shop is our main objective... So, this week we have added Splinterlands Untamed Packs in our shop and its permanent price will be around $1.899, paid in LEN tokens... Currently, we have lower stock of these, but they will be refilled very soon...
But, we will not stop there, as we know how much you guys like offers and sales we have decided to do occasionally special offers for certain products! For the next 6-7 days, you can enjoy special offers for Splinterlands Untamed Packs, one Rising Star, and one great (and cheap) and useful mining card for the Alien Worlds game!
-----------------------------------------
Some of the products are listed for SALE, others can be used with COUPON, so watch carefully the video to find it...
**All listed products for sale have limited stock and they are sold in a first come, first serve manner... So, be aware of that**
#### Check out the video and find the coupon code for Untamed Booster Packs!
And don't forget to check out the [Liotes Online Shop](https://liotes.com/index.php/shop/) regularly for new sales and offers!
----------------------------------------
Oh, I have mentioned some awesome people from the @risingstargame and #m4l tribe inside the video as they are selling some awesome cards for LEN tokens! Check out what you can get for LEN by @nupulse and @ivanc! I hope that other musicians will follow their lead and list their NFTs for LEN tokens!
