The advantages of minting a Hero NFT are as follows:

* **Play**: Access to Orcas organizations in games (strategic clans/guilds built in a way to maximize the gains) is granted to the owners of at least one Hero NFT.
* **Earn**: Owners of the Hero NFTs will split a fraction of [Hero Vault](/orcas.gg-guilds-and-games/orcas.gg/the-treasury.md) profits (\~10.00 APR)
* **Staking Rewards**: those who own Casual NFTs will generate a passive income of 0.8 ORCA/day as a token, see [Token Utility](/orcas.gg-guilds-and-games/orcas-token/token-utility.md). NFT owners will earn ORCA tokens if they keep their NFTs staked. 37M ORCA tokens will be distributed as staking rewards for 10 years.
* **Token Airdrop**: Minters using EGLD for mint will receive 1,000 ORCA for each Hero NFT.
* **Community**: Access to dedicated Discord channels (exclusive content and opportunities) based on the NFT Tier
