# How to Earn Midas Points
Every trade you make on MidasPredict earns you Midas Points (MP). At the end of each month, a pool of real fees is divided among all point holders โ proportional to how many points they earned. Trade more, earn more.
***
## What Are Midas Points?
Midas Points are a **non-transferable, off-chain reward-accounting unit** inside MidasPredict. They track your contribution to platform activity and determine your share of the monthly Points Reward Pool.
They're not a token. You can't send them, sell them, or use them outside of MidasPredict. Their sole function is to determine your proportional share of the monthly distribution.

## How You Earn Points
### Trading (The Main Engine)
For every **$1 of trading volume**, you earn **1 Midas Point**. No cap, no limit.
| You Trade | Midas Points Earned |
| --------- | ------------------- |
| $100 | 100 MP |
| $1,000 | 1,000 MP |
| $10,000 | 10,000 MP |
This is the core engine. For active users, trading should represent **80%+ of total MP earned**.
> ๐ก Testnet volume counts toward the [Midas Catalyst](/midaspredict/for-creators/midas-catalyst.md) Trade Challenge and toward [Founder Program](/midaspredict/knowledge-base/founder-program.md) eligibility, but **does not earn MP directly**. Only mainnet activity produces MP โ and the Founder Program gives qualifying testnet users a head-start through a multiplier on their early mainnet trading.
### Boosted Markets (2x)
Certain Daily Markets and Featured Markets designated by the protocol earn **2x Midas Points** per dollar of volume.
* Normal market: $100 in trade volume โ **100 MP**
* Boosted market: $100 in trade volume โ **200 MP**
### Market Creation Rewards
When you create a market and seed it with initial liquidity, you earn **MP equal to the seed liquidity amount**.
| Seed Liquidity | MP Earned |
| -------------- | ---------- |
| $500 (minimum) | 500 MP |
| $2,000 | 2,000 MP |
| $100,000+ | 100,000 MP |
### Resolution Rewards
Resolution rewards apply to both automated oracle outcomes and user-submitted disputes during the dispute window.
See [Market Lifecycle & Disputes](/midaspredict/knowledge-base/market-lifecycle-and-disputes.md) for how disputes work.
| Outcome | MP | Purpose |
| -------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Correct resolution | **+100 MP** | Incentivizes accurate resolution (including successful disputes) |
| Incorrect resolution | **-500 MP** | Strong deterrent against wrong or malicious resolution (including rejected disputes) |
### Daily Login Streak
| Action | Points |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Daily login | +1 MP per day |
| 7-day streak | +10 MP bonus |
| 14-day streak | +25 MP bonus |
| 30-day streak | +50 MP bonus |
### Referral Bonuses
| Tier | Bonus |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Tier 1 (you invited them) | +10% of their MP |
| Tier 2 (they invited someone) | +1% of that person's MP |
| Tier 3 (one more level) | +0.1% |
See [Referral Program](/midaspredict/the-basics/referral-program.md) for full details.
### Quests ๐๏ธ *Launching in Phases*

## Monthly Epochs: How the Payout Works
MidasPredict operates on **monthly epochs**. During the month, every trade earns points and the **Points Reward Pool** (funded by 0.125% of all trading volume) grows.
### At Month End
1. **Snapshot** โ Total MP and Points Reward Pool are frozen.
2. **Calculate** โ Your share = your MP รท total MP.
3. **Distribute** โ Your reward = your share ร Points Reward Pool.
4. **Credit** โ Funds added to your balance automatically.
5. **Reset** โ New epoch. MP returns to zero. Lifetime stats tracked separately.
### Worked Example
| | Amount |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------- |
| Total platform volume | $10,000,000 |
| Points Reward Pool (0.125% of volume) | $12,500 |
| Total MP earned by all users | 10,000,000 MP |
| **Your MP this month** | **200,000 MP** |
Your share: 200,000 รท 10,000,000 = **2%**
Your reward: 2% ร $12,500 = **$250**
***
## FAQ
Do my points carry over between months?
No. Points reset at the start of each epoch. Lifetime totals tracked separately for badges.
Is there a cap on points?
No cap. The more you trade, the more you earn.
Can I game the system by wash trading?
Each round-trip costs real fees (1% + creator fee) with no guarantee of earning them back. The cost of faking volume exceeds the reward.
