# Points System

> Earn points through trading volume

## How Points Work

The Lighter Trading Bot distributes **1,000,000 points** over **12 weeks** based on your trading activity.

## Weekly Distribution

Every week, **83,333 points** are distributed among all traders proportional to their trading volume.

<Note>
  Points are distributed automatically every 7 days
</Note>

## Calculation

Your points are calculated based on your share of total trading volume:

```
Your Points = (Your Volume / Total Volume) × 83,333

Volume = Trade Amount × Leverage
```

### Example

* You trade: $1,000 with 10x leverage = **$10,000 volume\*\*
* Total volume: \$100,000
* Your share: **10%**
* Your points: **8,333 points**

## Maximizing Points

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Trade with higher leverage">
    Leverage multiplies your volume. A $100 trade with 10x leverage counts as $1,000 volume.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Trade consistently">
    Points are distributed weekly, so regular trading is better than one large trade.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Invite friends">
    Earn 10% of your referrals' points through the referral program.

  <Accordion title="Trade multiple assets">
