# Tributes

**The effects of Blessings increase as Patrons purchase Tributes**, with each subsequent Tribute being more expensive and further enhancing the benefits of a Blessing. The price of Tributes grows in accordance with bonding curve mechanics.

An exciting aspect of Blessings is that **Patrons can sell back their Tributes at the price of the latest bought Tribute** — this becomes an incredibly lucrative opportunity for those who recognize ambitious Tribes early and commit to their success — a mechanism reminiscent of the recently popular SocialFi experiments. Additionally, the **Master Chief receives a percentage of tax from each Tribute transaction**.

Patrons will be able to lock in their Tributes for a certain amount of time, rendering them unsellable, to show commitment to a Tribe, which in turn will strengthen the Blessings and earn more Tribe Points for upcoming Tribe Wars.
