# Points Program

The Pacifica Points program launched on Thursday, September 4th at 00:00 UTC. Each week:

* Snapshots are taken every Thursday at 00:00 UTC
* Distributions occur within 24 hours of each snapshot
* Weekly allocation: 10,000,000 points distributed weekly among eligible Pacifica users

Earn points by engaging in organic trading activities on Pacifica via GUI or API. Self-trading, sybil or any other manipulative activities will not earn points.<br />

### FAQ

#### What Is the Pacifica Points Formula?

The formula is dynamic and opaque by design, updated weekly as usage evolves.

#### What Activities Earn Points?

Many activities are tracked by our points program, and attribution for different activities may happen immediately or be applied over-time over several distributions.

#### Who Knows the Details of the Points Program?

Very few Pacifica team members. Only Pacifica's community members are eligible to earn points in order to ensure fairness and prevent abuse.

#### Do People With Multiple Accounts Have an Advantage Over Me?

No. Discrete or costless actions do not yield rewards in isolation. Having 100 accounts provides no advantage over one.

#### Do Early Users Have an Advantage?

Pacifica's points program is structured to balance both early supporters and long-term contributors fairly.

#### Can I Buy Points?

No. There was no prior allocation and there is no way to purchase points. They can only be earned by trading, providing feedback, and spreading the word.

#### Can I Trade Points on Secondary Markets?

While Pacifica cannot/will not actively police this, we do not condone any such activity and strongly discourage this for security reasons.
