TLDR: If you grow your Stellar Instant Account by 10% in a single cycle, you will receive your Performance Reward but will not immediately move up to the next tier. To qualify for a tier-up, you must first complete at least one Performance Reward in the following cycle. In the second cycle, a reward of just above 1% is enough to unlock a Performance Reward. Once you progress into the third cycle, you will then be eligible for the tier-up.
Let’s assume you achieve 10% growth in Tier 1 during your first cycle.
This moves you into the second cycle, where you only need to make a reward of more than 1% to qualify for a reward.
After completing the second cycle Performance Reward, you will advance to the third cycle.
In the third cycle, you will become eligible to move up to Tier 2, provided you maintain rewardability and meet the withdrawal conditions.
This process exists because FundedNext requires at least one successful Performance Reward before granting a tier-up.
How to Tier Up with Stellar Instant
To qualify for a tier-up, you must meet both of the following criteria:
Complete at least one withdrawal in your current tier.
Achieve 10% growth, measured by a total withdrawal amount equal to or greater than 10% of your current tier’s starting balance.
Mathematical Example: $5,000 Stellar Instant Account
Cycle | Tier | Starting Balance | Cycle End Balance | Reward Share | Withdrawal Taken | Growth Achieved | End Result |
1 | Tier 1 | $5,000 | $5,714.29 | 70% | $500 | 10% = $500 | Balance resets to $5,000 |
2 | Tier 1 | $5,000 | $5,358.14 | 70% | $250 | 5% = $250 (only 1%+ needed for withdrawal) | Performance Reward completed and Account scaled up to $10,000 |
3 | Tier 2 | $10,000 | $10,286.71 | 70% | $200 | 2% | Balance resets to $10,000 |
Explanation of the Process:
Cycle 1: You begin Tier 1 with $5,000. You make 10% growth and withdraw $500 as your Performance Reward. Because growth is measured by withdrawal, this $500 counts as 10% of your starting balance. After the withdrawal, your balance resets to $5,000, and you move to the second cycle.
Cycle 2: You again start with $5,000. In this cycle, only a withdrawal greater than 1% of the starting balance is needed to qualify. You grow the account by 5% and withdraw $250. This withdrawal counts toward your cumulative growth, and because you have now completed at least one withdrawal, you become eligible for a tier-up in the following cycle.
Cycle 3: Your account scales up to Tier 2 with a $10,000 starting balance. At this point, you have doubled your capital, and the same withdrawal-based growth rules apply for progressing to higher tiers.
