# Leaderboard and Points

Black Pearl Market includes a volume leaderboard where traders can follow their rank based on completed trading activity. Points are designed as a future-facing participation metric. Their full utility is intentionally not disclosed yet and will be announced through official Black Pearl Market channels.

Trade, climb the board, and build your position before the next reward phase is revealed.

## How The Leaderboard Works

* Users can check their rank on the volume leaderboard.
* The leaderboard ranks users by completed trading activity.
* Users earn points from completed OTC trades.
* Tier multipliers can boost points.
* Points currently represent future utility that has not been fully disclosed yet.
* Future utility and reward details will be announced later through official channels.

The leaderboard uses stablecoin volume as a growth metric. The OTC escrow protocol documentation describes the current settlement asset details.

## Tiers And Multipliers

The current frontend configuration shows these tiers:

| Tier    |       Point Range | Multiplier |
| ------- | ----------------: | ---------: |
| Bronze  |        0 to 1,499 |      1.00x |
| Silver  |    1,500 to 9,999 |      1.10x |
| Gold    |  10,000 to 74,999 |      1.25x |
| Diamond | 75,000 to 249,999 |      1.50x |
| Pearl   |          250,000+ |      2.00x |

Tier multipliers may boost how many points are earned from eligible activity. Tiers are designed to reward consistent activity as traders climb.

## Points

The frontend FAQ describes base points as 1 stablecoin notional unit equals 1 point, with both buyer and seller earning points from each completed deal, then tier multipliers boosting earned points as users level up.

Points are a participation metric. They are not currently a token, do not represent equity, and do not guarantee financial rewards unless future official rules explicitly state otherwise.

## Future Utility

Leaderboard points create a suspense layer ahead of upcoming reward phases. Future perks, early access, exclusive opportunities, referral enhancements, or other utility may be announced later through official Black Pearl Market channels.

Final rules will be announced before activation. Until then, users can keep participating, track their rank, and follow official channels for updates.
