How do you get promoted?
Your XRP balance at 23:59 UTC on the last day of each calendar month will be used to determine your rank for the following month.
These are all possible combinations:
1) If your XRP balance at the snapshot date is equal to your XRP balance at the previous snapshot date, you will move up one rank and you will receive the relevant rank badge.
2) If your XRP balance at the snapshot date is higher than your XRP balance at the previous snapshot date and it is within the same balance tier, you will move up one rank and you will receive the relevant rank badge.
3) If your XRP balance at the snapshot date is higher than your XRP balance at the previous snapshot date and it falls in a higher balance tier, you will move up to the relevant rank and you will receive the relevant rank badge.
4) If your XRP balance at the snapshot date is lower than your XRP balance at the previous snapshot date and it falls within the same balance tier, your rank will be the same and your badge will be unchanged.
5) If your XRP balance at the snapshot date is lower than your XRP balance at the previous snapshot date and it falls in a lower balance tier, you will be downgraded to the relevant rank and you will receive the relevant rank badge.
6) If your XRP balance is below 1 at any snapshot date, you will exit the promotion and you won’t be able to enter the promotion again.
7) If your account status moves away from being in good standing, you will exit the promotion and you won’t be able to enter the promotion again.
8) General of the Army - There is no higher rank. Users that fall in that rank and buy more, will stay in the same badge.
