# Elysium Forges

There are six Elysium Forge tiers. Tier 1 starts at 2,000 locked PYR, while tier 6 is based on 64,000 PYR locked. Elysium Forges can be locked for a certain period to increase the rewards. Elysium Forges will be able to be converted to delegate the staked PYR to one of the authority nodes. (TBA)

* Cyclops tier 1 forge: 2,000 $PYR
* Sphinx tier 2 forge: 4,000 $PYR
* Cerberus tier 3 forge: 8,000 $PYR
* Gorgon tier 4 forge: 16,000 $PYR
* Hydra tier 5 forge: 32,000 $PYR
* Kraken tier 6 forge: 64,000 $PYR

All Elysium Forges will receive part of the sowing costs, the LAVA gas fees on Elysium, and the royalty fees. Elysium Forges can participate in the God Pool and NFT Pool. 

Elysium Forge rewards are covered in the section <mark style="color:purple;">Revenue Streams & Rewards</mark>.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vulcan-forged.gitbook.io/whitepaper/white-paper/elysium-forges-tiers-and-rewards/elysium-nodes/elysium-forges.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
