# How to Earn Predict Points (PP)

Learn how Predict Points (PP) are earned by providing liquidity on the order book, including reward tiers and the rules that keep rewards fair.

## How to Earn Predict Points (PP)

Predict Points (PP) are how Predict rewards traders and liquidity providers who make its markets work. The more you contribute (and the more genuinely you do so), the more you earn.

The majority of points are allocated to LPs on the platform. Users will also receive points for other factors each week like trading activity and holding positions.

Below, we explore how the LP points system works and what it means for you.

#### How Points Are Allocated for LPs

Certain Predict markets are assigned **Predict Points per hour (PP/hr)**. This rate is visible directly on each market card and each market’s individual page, so you always know exactly what you're earning before you commit liquidity.

Snapshots of all limit orders on all market order books are taken frequently in the background and used to calculate how much liquidity each user has contributed to each market.

Note: Although the rate of PP points is set on a per hour basis, the amount of PP rewarded is calculated pro-rata for the final hour that a market is live. For example, if a market resolves 15 minutes into a certain hour, it will receive 25% of that hour’s PP rewards.

#### How to Earn LP Points

Earned by providing liquidity i.e. by placing limit orders on both sides of the order book, close to the market price. Users will also need to adhere to certain liquidity requirements to earn rewards in a market, namely:

* Meet the **minimum order size** for that market
* Keep the **bid-ask spread below the market's threshold**
* Place orders on **both the bid and ask sides** for maximum reward
* Place orders **closer to the market rate**. The tightest spreads earn the most

Markets with active point rewards will display a **Points Active** badge in the order book.

#### LP Reward Tiers

Not all markets offer the same PP/hr rate. A five-tier system makes it easy to identify where liquidity is most needed and most rewarded, starting at one star (baseline rate) up to five stars (highest allocation).

#### Fair Play

Predict Points reward real liquidity, meaning orders that are live, executable, and available to be matched. The team actively monitors order liveness and cancellation patterns, and automatically invalidates orders based on certain criteria.

Users who consistently place non-executable orders (including balance manipulation and cancellation abuse) will have their PP balance set to zero. This enforcement will be applied both proactively and reactively, using historical data and executed in periodic waves. We will continue to monitor activity and refine the system to ensure the best possible trading experience, while ensuring PP is allocated to users who have genuinely provided meaningful liquidity to the platform.

#### Points Distribution

PP is distributed weekly. Allow 5–6 days after each week closes for the calculation period before points appear in your account. The leaderboard updates on the same schedule.
