# Earning DIAMONDS

DIAMONDS are passively earned through generating VOLTS via a time-based mechanism whilst charging your mobile device.

* **1 DIAMOND** will be earned for every **15 minutes** of VOLT generation.
* Your DIAMONDS have a rolling expiration of **14 days since your last DIAMOND earned**.

  * Example: John has 8 DIAMONDS and with the most recent DIAMOND being earned on the 1st of April. All DIAMONDS will expire on the 15th of April if they are not spent nor additional DIAMONDS are earned through collecting VOLTS.
  * It only requires 1 DIAMOND to be earned to **extend** the expiration of all 8 DIAMONDS in the account for another 14 days.
