Tangle Network Points System
The Tangle Network introduces a points system, allowing participants to accumulate experience points, also referred to as XP, by engaging in various activities across the ecosystem. This system is designed to recognize contributions and encourage active involvement.
Points earned will directly influence your eligibility for future airdrops, and we will leverage the democracy system to push forward retroactive airdrops for different types of participation from staking and restaking to operating and validating to developing and instancing Blueprints.
Participation Mechanics: How to Earn Points
Your points are earned through various participation mechanics across Tangle Network. These points reflect your contributions and will determine your rank on the upcoming leaderboard.
1. Restaking Participation
- Deposits: Earn points by depositing whitelisted assets into the restaking system.
- Delegations: Delegate whitelisted assets to operators to earn points.
2. Network Participation
- Staking and Nominating: Stake TNT tokens and nominate validators.
- Liquid Staking: Liquid stake TNT to earn points.
3. Network Roles
- Operators: Register as an operator to earn points. Operate services to earn points.

4. Partner Integrations
- Partners bringing assets into the network through integrations (e.g., Router Protocol, Hourglass) will earn points when users deposit assets for supporting ecosystem growth.
5. Development and Instancing
