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. 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.
