# Peng Levels & Rewards

When you **summon a Penguin**, it will randomly drop as one of five levels. Each level comes with its own rarity, reward rate, and holding time.

## Drop Rates, ROI & Time to Return

| 🧊 Level | 🎯 Drop Rate | 💰 ROI | ⏳ Return Time |
| -------- | ------------ | ------ | ------------- |
| Level 1  | 60%          | 100%   | 2 days        |
| Level 2  | 24%          | 200%   | 4 days        |
| Level 3  | 10%          | 300%   | 6 days        |
| Level 4  | 5%           | 400%   | 8 days        |
| Level 5  | 1%           | 500%   | 10 days       |

{% hint style="info" %}
The level is **randomly assigned** during each summon. Higher levels are rarer, but bring bigger returns.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
After the return time ends, your Penguin completes its mission and will **no longer generate any rewards**. It’s done waddling.
{% endhint %}

## How Rewards Work

All Penguins generate **$PENG tokens** over their holding period.

Your total rewards depend on:

* 🧮 The **ETH value** you assign when summoning
* 🧊 The **level** of your Penguin (determines ROI%)

> **📈 Example**
>
> Let’s say you summon a **Level 3 Penguin** and set its value at **$180 worth of ETH**.
>
> * With a **300% ROI**, your total reward will be **$540 worth of $PENG tokens**
> * The reward is **released gradually over 6 days** — the Return Time for Level 3
> * You can **claim your $PENG tokens anytime** during or after this period via the in-game dashboard

💡 *Tip:* The more ETH you put into your Penguin, the more $PENG you generate. This directly powers your ability to participate in future features like Land auctions, upgrades, and events.
