# Credit System

DexPal uses a dual-reward system: Credits (temporary) and Points (permanent).

## DexPal Credits (Temporary)

* Earned during each round from trading activity
* Reset to zero at the start of every new round
* Determine Points allocation at round end
* Track performance within the current round

## DexPal Points (Permanent)

Points are your core reward currency for long-term value.

* Awarded at round end based on Credits earned
* Never reset — accumulate forever
* Represent long-term contribution to the platform

## Points Distribution — Round One

**Total pool: 100,000 DexPal Points**
