# Points program

Points are AgentDex's public progress signal. They feed dashboards, tier badges, and the weekly leaderboard. They are **separate from Airdrop Score** ([Airdrop scoring](/agentdex-docs/incentives/airdrop-scoring.md)) — Points are the visible game; Airdrop Score is the internal basis for any future token distribution.

The headline rule of the system:

> **Volume gives you eligibility and a baseline. Quality, consistency, and risk control determine your upside.**

{% hint style="info" %}
Points are the public game layer. Airdrop Score is separate and internal until end-of-season.
{% endhint %}

### Season 0 cadence

| Setting             | Value                                           |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Season length       | 12 weeks                                        |
| Epoch length        | 1 week                                          |
| Daily reset         | 00:00 UTC                                       |
| Weekly reset        | Monday 00:00 UTC                                |
| Finalisation window | 24 hours after each epoch for anti-abuse review |

An **active day** requires ≥ $500 in eligible volume **and** at least one of: a position held ≥ 30 minutes, or ≥ $0.50 of fees paid that day. For new users (first 14 days from first deposit), the threshold drops to $100.

### Epoch formula

```
Epoch Points = Base Points × Quality Multiplier
             + Leaderboard Bonus
             + Credited Quest Points
```

Daily cap: **5 000 pts**. Epoch cap: **30 000 pts** on Base Points.

### 1. Base Points

Base Points reward volume (in bands, not linearly), fees paid, position exposure, regularity, and market diversity.

| Source            | Condition                           |    Points |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------: |
| Volume band 1     | 500+ USD eligible volume / epoch    |       500 |
| Volume band 2     | 2 000+ USD                          |     1 200 |
| Volume band 3     | 10 000+ USD                         |     3 000 |
| Volume band 4     | 50 000+ USD                         |     6 000 |
| Volume band 5     | 150 000+ USD                        |     9 000 |
| Fees paid         | 25 pts per $1 of fees               | cap 4 000 |
| Position exposure | 100 pts per hour × capital factor   | cap 7 000 |
| Active days       | 700 pts per active day              | cap 4 900 |
| Market diversity  | 2 markets: 1 000; 3+ markets: 2 000 | cap 2 000 |

Volume bands are **highest-only**, not additive. Hitting $50 000 awards 6 000 (band 4), not 6 000 + 3 000 + 1 200 + 500.

### 2. Quality Multiplier

Bonuses and penalties stack additively around a 1.00× base, clamped to a sane band:

```
Quality Multiplier = clamp(1.00 + bonuses - penalties, 0.50, 1.35)
```

| Factor              | Condition                    |                Change |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------: |
| Profitable          | Epoch PnL > 0                |                 +0.05 |
| Strongly profitable | PnL / volume > 0.20 %        |                 +0.10 |
| Retention           | Avg holding time ≥ 1 h       |                 +0.05 |
| Strong retention    | Avg holding time ≥ 6 h       |                 +0.10 |
| Activity            | 3 active days                |                 +0.05 |
| Strong activity     | 5+ active days               |                 +0.10 |
| Risk control        | Drawdown ≤ 10 %              |                 +0.05 |
| Liquidation         | At least one liquidation     |                 −0.15 |
| Flip trading        | 60 %+ positions held < 5 min |                 −0.25 |
| Confirmed abuse     | Wash / self-trade detected   | −0.50 or epoch zeroed |

### 3. Leaderboard Bonus

Eligibility: 3 active days, $1 000+ eligible volume, no active Manual Review.

Four leaderboards run in parallel:

1. **PnL leaderboard** — best epoch PnL.
2. **Consistency leaderboard** — highest share of profitable active days.
3. **Risk-adjusted leaderboard** — `PnL / max(drawdown, 1 % of collateral)`.
4. **Volume leaderboard** — highest eligible volume.

| Percentile |   PnL | Consistency | Risk-adjusted | Volume |
| ---------- | ----: | ----------: | ------------: | -----: |
| Top 1 %    | 4 000 |       3 000 |         4 000 |  1 500 |
| Top 5 %    | 2 500 |       2 000 |         2 500 |  1 000 |
| Top 10 %   | 1 500 |       1 200 |         1 500 |    700 |
| Top 25 %   |   700 |         600 |           700 |    300 |
| Top 50 %   |   250 |         250 |           250 |    100 |

Caps:

* Leaderboard Bonus ≤ **8 000 pts / epoch**.
* The volume leaderboard can contribute at most **20 %** of your total leaderboard bonus. We don't want a pure-volume strategy to dominate.

### 4. Points tiers

Tiers are status and one-time milestones. They do not affect Airdrop Score.

| Tier     |     Cumulative points | One-time bonus |
| -------- | --------------------: | -------------: |
| Bronze   |                10 000 |          1 000 |
| Silver   |                50 000 |          2 500 |
| Gold     |               120 000 |          5 000 |
| Platinum |               250 000 |         10 000 |
| Diamond  |               500 000 |         20 000 |
| Master   |             1 000 000 |         30 000 |
| Legend   | Top 1 % of the season |     Badge only |

### What you see

The Points dashboard shows:

* Daily, epoch, and season totals.
* Base Points breakdown by source.
* Current Quality Multiplier and contributing factors.
* Leaderboard Bonus and your percentile per board.
* Credited Quest Points and remaining caps.
* Current tier and distance to next.
* Weekly reset timer.
* Manual Review status, where applicable.

### What disqualifies

* Wash trading and self-trading (matched orders between linked accounts).
* Sybil patterns — multiple wallets with shared funding sources gaming bands.
* Activity that violates fair-use policy on the platform.

See [Airdrop scoring](/agentdex-docs/incentives/airdrop-scoring.md) for the penalties section that mirrors the same anti-abuse signals on the airdrop side.
