The amount of $GEAR you will earn depends on the rarity of your Tinker NFT.

For $GEAR emission rate, you can refer to this [link](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/4/d/1FFV7no3o2y5ZRFCS4mzwTAk5zR6aioZZ7-PMDY5Wfqg/edit?usp=sharing).

### **Rarity**

Understand that the rank of your Tinker will effect how much $GEAR token it will earn from staking.

The difference between Rank 1 & Rank 3333 will be 5x.
