Understanding Points

Points are the primary currency in the Nudj platform, serving as your spendable balance for purchasing rewards, entering prize drawings, and unlocking exclusive content. Unlike XP which tracks your permanent achievement level, points are a consumable resource that you actively manage and spend.

What Are Points?

Your Digital Wallet

Points = Spendable CurrencyPoints function like money in your digital wallet:
  • Earn through challenges and activities
  • Spend on rewards and entries
  • Track your balance in real-time
  • Manage strategically for maximum value
Your current balance: Visible in your wallet and profile

How Points Work

The Points Economy

  • Earning
  • Spending
  • Balance
Input to Your WalletPoints flow into your account through:
  • Challenge completions (10-500 points)
  • Daily activities (5-50 points)
  • Bonus events (2x-10x multipliers)
  • Special distributions
  • Admin grants

Transaction System

Every point movement is tracked through a transaction:
1

Trigger Event

Activity occurs (challenge completed, reward purchased)
2

Transaction Created

System records the transaction with amount and direction
3

Balance Updated

Your points balance increases (credit) or decreases (debit)
4

UI Refreshed

Wallet and displays update with animation

Points Storage Levels

Dual-Level SystemYour points are tracked at two levels:
  1. Global Points: Your total spendable balance across all communities
  2. Community Points: Points earned within specific communities (for local tracking)
When you earn points in a community, both balances update. When you spend, it comes from your global balance.

  5. Calculate opportunity cost - Compare reward values
  6. Set earning goals - Daily and weekly targets keep you focused

Technical Implementation

Transaction Architecture

Points use a double-entry accounting system:
  • Credit transactions: Add points to your balance
  • Debit transactions: Remove points from your balance
  • Transaction status: Pending to Completed/Failed
  • Audit trail: Full history for transparency

API Integration

For developers building on Nudj:
// Check user's points balance
const user = await integrationApi.me.getMyInfo();
console.log(`Current balance: ${user.points}`);

// Purchase a reward
await integrationApi.rewards.purchaseReward({
  rewardId: "reward_123",
  amount: 1 // quantity
});

// Points automatically deducted from balance

Feature Flags

The points system can be controlled via feature flags:
  • points-system: Toggles entire points functionality
  • fixed-points-distribution: Switches between fixed/dynamic calculation

Common Questions

Currently, points do not expire. Once earned, they remain in your balance until spent. However, always check your community’s specific rules.
Direct point transfers between users are not currently supported. Points are tied to your account for fairness and security.
Your global points balance remains intact. Community-specific tracking may be affected, but your spendable balance is preserved.
There’s no hard limit on points accumulation. Save as much as you want for future rewards.
Points have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money. They’re exclusively for use within the Nudj platform ecosystem.
