# What are Points?

1. **Earning Points:** When users stake their assets in the protocol, they are awarded Points as a reward for their contribution. This system is designed to encourage and reward user participation and investment.
2. **Calculation of Points:** The number of Points a user receives is not arbitrary; it is calculated based on two key factors:
   * **Amount of Stake:** The more funds a user deposits or stakes, the more Points they earn. This is to acknowledge the level of trust and investment a user is committing to the protocol.
   * **Duration of Stake:** The length of time for which the assets are staked also influences the number of Points awarded. Longer staking periods demonstrate a user’s commitment to the platform, and thus, earn them a greater number of Points.
3. **Benefits of Accumulating Points:** Accumulating Points can qualify stakers for various future incentives. These incentives might include:

   * **Potential Airdrops:** Points might be used as one of the criteria to determine eligibility for free distributions of new tokens or other assets.
   * **Allocation in New Projects:** Projects in HeLa ecosystem may consider the number of Points held by users as a crucial factor in determining rewards in the framework of Stable x Project partnership program. This means that users with more Points might receive preferential access to new opportunities.

Overall, Points act as a critical component of our reward system, aligning the interests of the users with the growth and success of the platform. They serve not only as a reward mechanism but also as a potential gateway to more benefits and exclusive offers within HeLa ecosystem.
