Prestige

Prestige is a type of in-game currency, separate from views and diamonds. Its icon is a golden crown with a red jewel in the center. You can see how much prestige you have in the Hat Store, which is also where you will spend it.

Earning Prestige
The only way to get a prestige in your first game is to publish enough videos to fill the progress bar at the top of the hat menu, 1 prestige per 5 videos. Once you reach rank #1 and start a Channel, you will gain a larger bulk amount of prestige based on your progress.

Spending Prestige
Hats for your avatar are the only thing that prestige is used to buy. Each hat grants a different active effect when equipped, and a passive effect stacking with other hats just for owning it. The cost to buy a new hat increases based on how many you already have.

Once you own a hat you can level it up a maximum of 5 times, which will increase its passive effect by 1% and its active effect by 5%. The cost to level up begins at 9 prestige and increases by 2 each time.
