How Are Points Calculated?

What Are ZO Points?

ZO Points represent your total contribution to the ZO ecosystem. They are composed of multiple sub-point systems:

  • Core Points (Trading, LP, Liquidation, Referral)

  • Sudo Points (imported from legacy Sudo campaigns)

  • Social Points (community, campaigns, social engagement)

Your final total is the sum of all these categories.

Total ZO Points
= Core Points + Sudo Points + Social Points

These points unlock your position in the Tier System and may influence future ecosystem rewards.


How Points Are Calculated

Your total ZO Points are computed using the following formula:

Total Points
= 0.1 * Trading Volume
+ 1 * Net LP Volume
+ 0.2 * Liquidation Volume
+ Referral Points

All figures are denominated in USD-equivalent value.


Trading Points

Trading Points = 0.1 * Trading Volume
  • Every $1 traded earns 0.1 points

  • Example: $10,000 traded β†’ 1,000 points

Trading direction (long/short) does not affect points.


Liquidity Provider (LP) Points

LP Points = 1 * Net LP Volume
  • Net LP Volume = deposits – withdrawals

  • Every $1 provided earns 1 point

  • Example: $5,000 net LP β†’ 5,000 points

LPs receive the highest multiplier because they stabilize protocol liquidity.


Liquidation Points

Liquidation Points = 0.2 * Liquidation Volume
  • Liquidators help secure the protocol

  • Each $1 liquidated earns 0.2 points


Referral Points

The ZO referral system rewards both the referrer and the referee. Points are based entirely on the referee’s activity.

Referral Points
= 0.5 * Referee Net LP Volume
+ 0.05 * Referee Trading Volume

Both referrer and referee receive the same Referral Points.

Example

If your referee:

  • Trades $20,000 β†’ 1,000 points

  • Deposits $2,000 LP β†’ 1,000 points

Total Referral Points = 2,000

You earn 2,000 points and your referee earns 2,000 points.


Sudo Points

Sudo Points are imported from historical user activity from the Sudo ecosystem.

These points recognize early adopters, contributors, and participants who previously supported Sudo and are now transitioning into the ZO ecosystem.

Total ZO Points = Core Points + Sudo Points + Social Points

If you were active on Sudo, your past efforts are honored here.


Social Points

Social Points reward community engagement, campaign participation, and off-chain contribution.

You can earn Social Points through:

  • Completing campaign quests

  • Sharing ZO posts

  • Engaging with community events

  • Participating in missions (e.g., Galxe, Zealy, X quests)

  • Content creation (memes, videos, threads, infographics)

  • Ambassador contributions

  • Special seasonal tasks

Social Points help ensure that community energy is recognized alongside on-chain actions.
