# Earn Points

Welcome to the Aqua Points program, designed to reward our community for their activity and engagement. This document explains how you can earn Aqua Points and what they mean for you.

### Core Principles

The Aqua Points system is built on a simple and transparent foundation:

* 100% Trading-Based: Points are generated exclusively from your real trading notional value.
* Daily Settlement: Points are calculated and settled to your account every day at 00:00 UTC.

### How to Earn Points

Points are earned for every trade you make, with several boosts available to accelerate your earnings. The table below outlines all the ways you can accumulate points.

| Action                    | Points Calculation                 | Key Conditions & Notes                                                                                                                             |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Standard Trading          | 1 point per $1,000 notional value  | The foundational rule for all perpetual futures trades on Aqua.                                                                                    |
| Strategy Trading Boost    | 1.2x on base points                | Applies to all trades executed using Celebrity Follow/Inverse or AI Agent strategies.                                                              |
| New User Boost            | 1.5x on base points                | Applies to your first $500,000 in trading volume. This is a one-time boost for new community members.                                              |
| Invitation Bonus          | +50 points (one-time per invitee)  | Awarded when a user you invited successfully registers and completes at least 3 real trades. Limited to 10 successful invitation bonuses per week. |
| Hyperliquid Linked Wallet | 1 point per $15,000 notional value | This special rate applies only to users trading via a Hyperliquid linked wallet where the referral code is set to AQUAEXCHANGE.                    |

#### Understanding Boost Stacking

Boosts are designed to be cumulative. This means you can benefit from multiple boosts on a single trade. 

For instance, if a new user places a trade using a Strategy (e.g., Celebrity Follow), the boosts stack:1.5x (New User) × 1.2x (Strategy Trading) = 1.8x Total Boost

### Example Calculation

Let's see how the points add up. A new user signs up and on their first day:

1. Executes $80,000 in standard trades.
2. Executes $20,000 in trades using the Celebrity Follow feature.
3. Successfully invites one friend who completes the required 3 trades.

Their points for the day would be calculated as follows:

Standard Trades: ($80,000 / 1,000) × 1.5 (New User Boost) = 120 points

Strategy Trades: ($20,000 / 1,000) × 1.8 (New User × Strategy Boost) = 36 points

Invitation Bonus: +50 points

Total for the day: 120 + 36 + 50 = 206 points
