Emissions during inflationary epochs come thick and fast. At $PRO stakers in The Summit, we often weigh up how to reap the benefits of emissions while also seeking to play our part to maintain the sustainability of the protocol.&#x20;

Using a portion of $PEAK rewards, you can purchase gift cards that can be spent in real-world outlets to shop for groceries, electronics, alcohol, home and living, and just about any major retailer available in your country.

Be mindful that taxation does apply when purchasing gift cards through CryptoCart, $PEAK is sold into $USDC to settle the gift card payment. Making gift card purchases above the peg is the best way to realize value from your $PEAK investment or rewards from The Summit.
