# Paid Boosts

These are applied to individual Kongs in staking.

Duration of each boost is one week (7 days) after activation.

* **Silver Serum** - 4 $OMEGA → 30% Boost
* **Gold Serum** - 5 $OMEGA → 40% Boost
* **Sapphire Serum** - 7 $OMEGA → 50% Boost

{% hint style="info" %}
Boosts can be applied ONLY to Kongs that are in staking.

If Kong is unstaked, you lose your boost.

You can only accumulate 10 boosts in a month, and you have 30 days to use these boosts. After 30 days the boosts will be removed if not activated.
{% endhint %}

### Buying boosts

Open the Kong profile page and click Boost
