XP & Leveling System
The XP system is the core mechanic of engagement on the Helios Testnet. It tracks meaningful activity across wallets and allows us to identify the most active, committed participants. This system feeds directly into your level, tag progression, and ultimately, your airdrop eligibility.
What Is XP?
XP (Experience Points) represent your contribution to the Helios Testnet. Unlike a leaderboard-only system, XP has real impact:
- Determines your level and unlocks visibility on the dashboard
- Influences your potential airdrop allocation
- Qualifies you for NFT badges, rewards, and early contributor roles
- Interacts with Tags to multiply your XP gain
How to Earn XP
XP is awarded for specific interactions across the testnet:
| Action | XP |
|---|---|
| Completing onboarding | +1000 XP |
| Referring a new user (onboarding completed) | +1000 XP |
| Passive XP from your referrals’ actions | +5% of each referee's earned XP |
| Completing a daily quest | Variable |
| Staking, delegating, voting, or bridging | Variable |
| Reaching transaction thresholds | Automatically rewarded |
XP is awarded automatically and displayed in your dashboard in real time.
Referral Rewards
Helios includes a referral-based multiplier to reward organic community growth.
When someone uses your referral code and finishes onboarding:
- You earn +1000 XP instantly
- You passively receive 5% of their XP earnings for all future actions
There is no cap to the number of referrals you can make. Referrals are tracked permanently.
Tags & XP Multipliers
Helios features a tag-based identity system that enhances XP progression.
Tags are awarded based on how you interact with the network, and each tag carries an XP multiplier applied to all future XP gains:
| Tag | XP Multiplier | How It’s Earned |
|---|---|---|
NONE | 1.0x | Default |
DEPLOYER | 1.5x | Deploying smart contracts |
FARMER | 2.0x | Reaching transaction thresholds |
GUARDIAN | 1.5x | Running a Hyperion node |
RESEARCHER | 2.5x | Querying external chains |
LIQUIDITY_PROVIDER | 2.0x | Providing real TVL on-chain |
PROPOSAL_MASTER | 2.0x | Submitting or voting in proposals |
CONTRIBUTOR | 4.0x | Buying early NFT badges (low tier) |
INVESTOR | 6.0x | Buying early NFT badges (high tier) |
BUILDER | 3.0x | Deploying verified apps (manual) |
MARKETER | 3.5x | Key community referrals (manual) |
AMBASSADOR | 2.5x | Core community roles (manual) |
Example: If a quest normally gives 100 XP and you have the
RESEARCHERtag, you'll earn 250 XP instead.
Tags are visible from your dashboard and are applied automatically or manually depending on the criteria.
Leveling System
Your XP contributes directly to your level, which represents your activity on the testnet.
Level progression is linear at first and scales as you gain more XP. Leveling up:
- Unlocks access to exclusive quests or features
- May qualify you for gated badges
- Impacts airdrop tiering
There is no upper limit—XP and leveling continue indefinitely during the testnet.
Summary
- XP is the core metric of testnet engagement
- Tags boost XP permanently via multipliers
- Referrals drive passive XP across your network
- Leveling reflects your impact and enhances your recognition
- Airdrop eligibility is tied to XP, level, and tag data
