+# 🧑‍🚀 Missions & Points
+
+## Missions: how to earn points
+
+Missions are certain predefined tasks you can complete to help amplify the reach and success of Cronos.\
+
+
+* Once you are a verified Cronos Ambassador, you will **get access to Missions in the Ambassador Discord channels.**\
+
+* Missions are grouped per contribution track (see section Contribution Tracks) such as localization, education, content creation and more.\
+
+* By completing Missions and providing ‘Proof of Work’ \*wink nudge\*, you become eligible to earn points…\
+
+* …**each Mission earns you a certain amount of points**, which all go towards your total points needed to go up in Rank.\
+
+* Check out the Ambassador Leaderboard where you can check your points in the overall Ambassador rankings.
+
+## Moving up in Rank
+
+The Cronos Ambassador Program is designed as a **seasonal journey of growth and leadership.** Each season runs for **3 months**, at the end of which ambassadors may be promoted (or demoted) to the next rank.
+
+### Promotion Timing
+
+* Promotions are only evaluated at the end of each season (every 3 months).
+* Ambassadors can only move up one rank per season, regardless of total points earned.
+* Example: even if a Rookie earns 1,000 points, they can only be promoted to Envoy in that season.
+
+### Points as Minimum Requirement
+
+* Each rank has a minimum point threshold that must be reached within the season to be considered for promotion.
+* Points reflect both the effort and impact of missions completed.
+* Seasonal Reset: At the start of every new season, the points leaderboard resets to zero for all ambassadors, ensuring a fair playing field.
+* Lifetime Recognition: While seasonal points reset, ambassadors’ lifetime points are tracked for recognition and special honors (e.g. Hall of Fame, long-term perks).
+
+| **From → To**          | **Min Points Required (in last 3 months)** |
+| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| 🌱 Rookie → 🔥 Envoy   | 150                                        |
+| 🔥 Envoy → 🛡 Sentinel | 350                                        |
+| 🛡 Sentinel → 🏆 Elite | 650                                        |
+| 🏆 Elite → 🧭 Council  | 1,000                                      |
+
+### Peer Evaluations
+
+* At the end of every season, peer evaluations are conducted.
+* Ambassadors review one another’s contributions, collaboration and community spirit.
+* These evaluations are combined with points to ensure promotions reward not only output, but also character, reliability and teamwork.

+
+## Program and Demotion Rules
+
+While the program focuses on growth, ambassadors may also be demoted or removed at the end of a season if expectations are not met.
+
+* Inactivity: Completing fewer than 100 points worth of missions in a 3-month season
+* Peer Reviews: Repeated low feedback on collaboration or reliability.
+* Role Expectations: Failure to fulfill the duties of a rank (e.g. Sentinels not mentoring rookies).
+* Code of Conduct: Breaches of community guidelines or misuse of the ambassador role.
+
+Like promotions, demotions are limited to one rank per season. Ambassadors can regain higher ranks in future seasons by contributing actively again.
+
+
+
+The Cronos Ambassador Program is a living initiative. While this framework reflects the current structure, missions and progression paths, all details — including points, tiers and rewards — are subject to change as the program evolves. The Cronos team reserves the final discretion on promotions, demotions and recognition to ensure the program remains fair, impactful and aligned with the long-term vision of the ecosystem.
