# Tier Upgrade

### What is the Tier Upgrade concept?

{% hint style="info" %}
**The tier Upgrade** concept refers to upgrading an NFT to a superior NFT tier by trading the owned NFT for a better one and paying the difference (see the table below). The upgrade process will be covered manually in the first instance (team support via Discord server) and later via a self-service portal.
