# 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
+ 0.1 * LP Hold Value
+ 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 → **1,000 points**

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

***

### **Deposit Points**

```
Deposit Points = 1 * Net LP Volume
```

* Net LP Volume = deposits – withdrawals
* Every $1 provided earns 1 point
* Example: $5,000 net LP → **5,000 points**

LPs receive the highest multiplier because they stabilize protocol liquidity.

***

### **Hold LP Points**

```
Hold LP Points = 0.1 * LP Value
```

* Every $1 LP token balance held earns 0.1 points a day
* Example: $5,000 ZLP Held → **500 points Daily**

***

### **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 → 1,000 points
* Deposits $2,000 LP → 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**.
