 #### Tiers Capacity
 
 There is a limited amount of slots for dApps which means dApps have to compete for them.
-The amount isn't static but is recalculated at the start of each period.
 
-Since the purpose of dApp staking isn't for dApps to earn obscene amounts of rewards, but to provide
-support to operate and further develop existing dApp, number of slots is scaled with the value of **ASTR** expressed in **USD**.
+The protocol uses a **fixed maximum of 16 slots** distributed across all tiers. This fixed capacity provides predictability and stability to the tier system.
 
-At the beginning of **each era**, using the _moving average_ **ASTR** price, new number of slots is calculated:
-
-$ number\_of\_slots_{Astar} = floor(1000 * ASTR_{USD} + 50)$
-
-This approach means that as **ASTR** value increases, so does the number of slots for dApp staking, and vice-versa.
-
-Once number of slots is calculated, it is divided up into slots per tier.
-The portions are statically configured, e.g. _tier 1_ gets **10%** of the slots, _tier 2_ gets **25%** of the slots, and so on.
-
-Same principle is applied to Shiden, but with a slightly modified formula:
-
-$ number\_of\_slots_{Shiden} = floor(100 * SDN_{USD} + 50)$
-
-These formulas were designed with a _baseline_ price in mind.
-Using the _baseline_ price, the _baseline_ number of slots can be calculated using the listed formulas.
-
-This value is important since it's used as a reference when calculating tier threshold adjustment.
+The slots are divided among tiers according to statically configured portions. For example, on Astar, _tier 2_ gets **37.5%** of the slots and _tier 3_ gets **62.5%** of the slots (_tier 1_ and _tier 4_ have no slots). For a total of 16 slots, this represents 6 slots in _tier 2_ and 10 slots in _tier 3_. The exact slot distribution per tier varies by network and is defined in the [network parameters](/docs/learn/dapp-staking/protocol-parameters#network-values).
 
 #### Tier Threshold Entry
 
 A dApp isn't entitled to a tier by just participating in the dApp Staking.
 It needs to attract sufficient support to even be eligible for entry into a tier.
 
 E.g. a threshold to enter _tier 1_ might be set to **1,000,000 ASTR**.
-Since number of slots is dynamic, so has to be the threshold to allow for more realistic competition.
-It's not fair to define the same threshold for entering a tier if there are 50 slots or 500 slots since the
-staked amount will be more diluted between various dApps.
-
-The formula for adjusting tier entry threshold with dApps slot changes:
-
-$\Delta\%_{threshold} = (\frac{100\%}{100\% + \Delta\%_{dApps}} - 1) * 100\%$
-
-where $\Delta\%_{dApps}$ is the change in the number of dApps, expressed as a percent. In case number has been reduced, the _delta_ will be negative.
-The comparison is always done between the _baseline_ number of slots (determined using the baseline price) and the new number of slots.
-
-$new\_threshold = base\_threshold * (1 + \Delta\%_{threshold})$
 
-There are two types of tier entry thresholds:
+Tier entry thresholds are defined as **fixed percentages** of the total issuance. These percentages remain constant across periods, but the absolute threshold amounts adjust proportionally as the total issuance changes (e.g., through burn events).
 
-* `Dynamic` - A percentage of the total issuance as staked funds that can change between periods. It includes:
-    - A **minimum** percentage that the threshold cannot fall below
-    - A **maximum** percentage cap that limits how high the threshold can grow
+For example, suppose the total issuance is **8.4 billion** ASTR tokens. For a tier with a threshold percentage set at **2.32%**, this equals approximately **195 million ASTR**. If the total issuance drops to **8.0 billion** ASTR, the threshold adjusts to:
 
-This type is used for _higher_ tiers.
+$new\_threshold = 2.32\% * 8.0 billion = 185,600,000\ ASTR$
 
-* `Fixed` - A constant percentage of the total issuance as staked funds, which does not change between periods. Used for the _lowest_ tier, and defines a static value.
-
-These percentages are calculated based on a total issuance of **8.4 billion ASTR** tokens when dApp Staking V3 was launched. As the total issuance changes (e.g. burn events), the dynamic thresholds will adjust accordingly, ensuring a fair and adaptive staking environment.
-
-For example, suppose the total issuance is **8.4 billion** ASTR tokens. For **Tier 1**, the dynamic threshold percentage is set at **3.57%** (*approximately 299,880,000 ASTR*), with a minimum required percentage of **2.38%** (*approximately 199,920,000 ASTR*) and a maximum possible percentage set according to network parameters. If the total issuance decreases due to a burn event, the threshold adjusts accordingly. For example, if the total issuance drops to **8.0 billion** ASTR, the **Tier 1** threshold adjusts to:
-
-$new\_threshold = 3.57\% * 8.0 billion = 285,600,000\ ASTR$
-
-The maximum cap ensures that during periods of high competition or changing token price conditions, tier thresholds don't grow beyond reasonable limits, maintaining accessibility for dApps.
-
-If the number of slots changes, the threshold is further adjusted based on the delta percentage formula.
+This approach ensures that tier thresholds scale with the token supply while maintaining consistent percentage requirements.

-### Oracle Price Feed
-
-Tier slots, thresholds and rewards need to be adjusted for the native currency price. This has been mentioned in previous chapters. E.g. if price of the **ASTR** goes up, the protocol can accommodate more dApps, and vice-versa.
-
-This is done in multiple steps:
-
-1. Permissioned oracle feeds the native currency price on-chain.
-2. Price is aggregated over the defined time period (e.g. the entire day), and average value is calculated.
-3. Aggregated price is stored into a circular buffer used to calculate moving average.
-4. dApp staking tier configuration re-calculation relies on the moving average price.
-
-The _moving-average_ approach is utilized to soften the impact of crypto's high price volatility.
-It's important to keep the _window_ small enough to be able to react to price changes in timely manner, but long enough to _dampen_ sudden & temporary spikes.

-dApp Staking uses reward tiers (each with a limited number of slots), and where applicable assigns ranks within tiers so dApp rewards are determined deterministically by **tier + rank**.

+dApp Staking uses reward tiers (each with a limited number of slots), and where applicable assigns ranks within tiers so dApp rewards are determined deterministically by **tier + rank**. The protocol uses a **fixed maximum of 16 slots** distributed across all tiers, providing predictability and stability to the tier system.
 
 The slots allocated to each tier can be viewed on the [dApp Staking Page](https://portal.astar.network/astar/dapp-staking/discover) of the Astar Portal.
 
 At the end of each **Build&Earn** subperiod, dApps are assigned to a tier based on the total value staked on them by users. Each tier has a **threshold** that a dApp must reach in order to access it.
 
 At the protocol level, at most **16 dApps are reward-eligible per era** (across tiers).
 
-The threshold for tier 4 is fixed, but for the other tiers, the threshold is **dynamic** and calculated at the start of each new period based on the total number of slots for the period. To find out more, [click here](/docs/learn/dapp-staking/dapp-staking-protocol.md#tier-threshold-entry).
