# Earning PP: Every Action & Cap

# Earning PP: Every Action & Cap

Every way to earn Particle Points, with exact base amounts, multipliers, and daily caps. All on-chain actions are verified server-side against the real transaction before points are credited.

## The earning table

| Action                 | Base PP                   | Multiplier           | Daily cap          | Streak boost applies         |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------- |
| Daily check-in         | 100                       | streak boost         | once per UTC day   | ✓ (it *is* the boost driver) |
| Swap                   | 50 per swap               | —                    | 500 PP/day         | ✓                            |
| DustSweep              | 50 per token swept        | ×5                   | 5,000 PP/day       | ✓                            |
| Burn                   | 50 per token burned       | ×2                   | 2,000 PP/day       | ✓                            |
| Bridge *(coming soon)* | 50 per token              | ×10                  | 10,000 PP/day      | ✓                            |
| Spin                   | 50–500 per spin           | weighted prize table | limited by tickets | —                            |
| Quest completion       | per-quest amount          | —                    | once per quest     | —                            |
| Referral signup        | 500 (both sides)          | —                    | per new referral   | ✗                            |
| Referral commission    | 20% of invitee's earnings | —                    | —                  | ✗                            |
| Footprint Drop         | 5,000–26,000              | tiered by history    | once per address   | ✗                            |
| Profile completion     | one-time reward           | —                    | once               | —                            |

Notes:

* **Daily caps reset at 00:00 UTC.** Once an action's cap is reached, further activity that day earns 0 PP from that action (the activity itself still works normally).
* **The streak boost** (up to +300%) multiplies the base award of every boost-eligible action — see [Streak Boost Explained](streak-boost-explained.md). Referral bonuses and commissions are never boosted.
* **Bridge** is visible in the app as "Soon" and is not live; its rewards are pre-configured and will activate at launch.
* Profile-completion reward amount: to be confirmed before publication.

## Worked example

A user on a 10-day streak (+100% boost) sweeps 8 dust tokens:

|                                 |                                 |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Base                            | 8 tokens × 50 PP = 400 PP       |
| Sweep multiplier ×5             | 2,000 PP                        |
| Streak boost +100%              | **4,000 PP**                    |
| Check against daily cap (5,000) | ✓ within cap — 4,000 PP awarded |

The same sweep with no streak: 2,000 PP. Consistency pays.

## How verification works

* **On-chain actions** (swap, sweep, burn, spin): the app submits your transaction hash; the backend reads the actual transaction on Base and only then credits PP. Submitting fake or duplicate hashes does nothing — each transaction can be credited once.
* **Social actions** (quests): verified through your linked X or Discord account, not screenshots.

> **User Safety Note**
> No one from DustSwap will ever ask you to send funds, share a seed phrase, or pay a fee to "unlock" PP. Earning PP never requires anything beyond using the app's own features.

## FAQ

**I hit a daily cap. Do I lose the extra points?**
Yes — activity above a cap earns no PP that day. Caps reset at 00:00 UTC.

**Do failed transactions earn PP?**
No. Only confirmed, successful transactions are credited.

**Can I earn PP for swaps made outside the DustSwap app?**
To be confirmed before publication — currently points are credited for activity recorded through the app.
