# Earning and Tracking Points

Darkswap uses a **points system** to reward users who contribute meaningful **liquidity and trading volume** to the darkpool on EVM chains.

**Points are not a token.**\
They are an **off-chain accounting unit** and may be used in the future for:

* Fee tier discounts
* Reward programs
* Ecosystem incentives
* Other utility-based mechanisms

## **How You Earn Points**

### **1. Trading on DarkSwap**

You earn points based on **executed trading volume** within the darkpool.

Key rules:

* **Both buys and sells count** toward your volume.
* **Both makers and takers** earn points (multipliers may differ per role).
* Specific **assets, pairs, or order types** may receive higher multipliers during promotional periods.

This ensures that points reflect **real, meaningful trading activity**.

### **2. Campaigns and Ecosystem Programs**

From time to time, Darkswap will run special campaigns on EVMs, such as:

* **New pair launch campaigns**
* **Cross-protocol collaborations**
* **Volume races or liquidity competitions**

Each campaign defines:

* **Start and end time**
* **Eligible actions**
* **Point formulas, multipliers, and caps**
* **Bonuses or tiered rewards**, if applicable

These programs incentivize early participation and ecosystem growth.

## **Tracking Points**

You can track your:

* **Total points**
* **Daily updates**
* **Leaderboard position**

via the **Dashboard**, which is refreshed **daily** [here](https://darkswap.thesingularity.network/?utm_source=Gitbook\&utm_medium=link\&utm_campaign=Gitbook).
