# Points & Leaderboard

#### <mark style="color:red;">How Points Work</mark>

Points measure **proof of participation and platform use.**\
Every action that fuels the ecosystem adds to it — daring, creating, funding, winning, and **voting responsibly.**

Did you really think we were going to tell you exactly how points work here? The exact math isn't public for a reason. \
All you need to know is this: the system rewards movement.\
The more you do, the heavier your name gets.

> Sincerely, points that actually will amount to something.

#### <mark style="color:red;">The Big, Beautiful Leaderboard</mark>

The leaderboard updates in real time as you create, submit to, and win dares.\
Remember how we said legends will be made from this platform? We weren't kidding.

**Columns**

* **Submissions** — how many dares you’ve entered.
* **Wins** — how many you’ve conquered.
* **Dares Created** — how many you’ve initiated.
* **USD Earned** — total bounty claimed.

Everything else is hidden by design.

> Don’t chase the algorithm. Feed it.

#### <mark style="color:red;">Earning Points</mark>

Without spoiling the system, here’s what we can tell you:

* Create dares.
* Join dares.
* Win.
* Vote on submissions that deserve it.
* Bring others in.

The system tracks more than what’s visible.\
Some points are steady. Others are rare.\
Some you’ll trigger without realizing.

> The only way to understand it is to play it.

#### <mark style="color:red;">Rank & Reputation</mark>

Your rank reflects activity *and* influence.\
Go viral, win dares, fund chaos, and everyone's going to know your name.

If you stop moving, you drop.\
Momentum is the only metric that matters.

> Consistency wins. Silence disappears.

***

#### <mark style="color:red;">Fair Play</mark>

Points can’t be bought.\
Fake accounts, spam votes, or rigged dares are flagged and removed.&#x20;

> Big brother is watching
