# Island Creation

Creators and artists who stake ISLAND token can access greater platform resources, allowing for the creation of larger, more immersive islands and more activities to participate in.

The roster of island upgrades is being updated (with P2E rollout) to increase the number of bloom pickups you can place and the number of games you can have on your island. All upgrade options are listed below:

<table><thead><tr><th width="160" align="center">Island Upgrade</th><th>Tier 1</th><th>Tier 2</th><th>Tier 3</th><th>Tier 4</th><th>Tier 5</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center">Bloom Pickups</td><td>10</td><td>20</td><td>30</td><td>40</td><td>50</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Size</td><td><a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-1">Small</a></td><td><a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-2">Medium</a></td><td><a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-3">Large</a></td><td><a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-4">Huge</a></td><td><a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-5">Ginormous</a></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Build Weight</td><td>10k</td><td>20k</td><td>30k</td><td>40k</td><td>50k</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Number of Games</td><td>2</td><td>6</td><td>10</td><td>15</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Customization</td><td>Ocean</td><td>Sky</td><td>Weather</td><td>Island Skin</td><td>Soundtrack</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
For upgrades that had their maximums raised (*bloom pickups* and *number of games*), players will have their upgrade tier migrated to the tier that gives them the same limit or higher.

That is, players at tier 5 for bloom pickups could previously place 25 pickups. Those players are now at tier 3 and can place 30 pickups. These upgrades were cheaper before this update, so this migration favor players who already upgraded them in terms of limit and cost.
{% endhint %}

For all upgrades, tiers 3 and greater are locked behind staking a minimum ISLAND threshold. Once unlocked, upgrades can be purchased for a number of blooms. These values are as follows:

<table><thead><tr><th width="160" align="center">Value</th><th>Tier 1</th><th>Tier 2</th><th>Tier 3</th><th>Tier 4</th><th>Tier 5</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center">Staked ISLAND</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>300</td><td>1,000</td><td>5,000</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Bloom Cost</td><td>-</td><td>2,000</td><td>4,000</td><td>6,000</td><td>8,000</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
Players who had already unlocked a tier and are now locked out of that tier due to insufficient ISLAND staked will remain grandfathered into that tier.
{% endhint %}

At current, unstaking ISLAND will **not** downgrade your island even if it falls below the threshold required to unlock a tier.

This upgrade system will evolve over time as we add completely new tracks of island customization and also make technical optimizations that allow us to increase values such as build weight.
