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 PointsThese 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 PointsAll figures are denominated in USD-equivalent value.
Trading Points
Trading Points = 0.1 * Trading VolumeEvery $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 VolumeNet LP Volume = deposits β 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 VolumeLiquidators 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 refereeβs activity.
Referral Points
= 0.5 * Referee Net LP Volume
+ 0.05 * Referee Trading VolumeBoth 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 PointsIf 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.
