# How to Earn

DexPal offers multiple pathways to accumulate Credits and Points.

## Primary Earning Methods

### Trading Volume

Every trade earns Volume Credits. Credits scale based on volume across all partner DEXs. Anti-manipulation mechanisms ensure fair distribution and prevent wash trading.

### Paying Fees

Fee-based Credits are generated from trading fees, with portions funding competition prize pools.

### Referrals

Earn 10% of all Credits your referrals generate, up to 10 active referrals per user. This bonus does not deduct from your referees' earnings and continues each round they remain active.

### Quests & Tasks

Themed challenges provide bonus Credits throughout each round:

* **Volume Quests** — Hit milestones, complete trades, reach thresholds
* **Engagement Quests** — Trade across multiple DEXs, maintain login streaks
* **Referral Quests** — Successfully refer active traders

Quests can award Credits equivalent to millions in trading volume.

## Optimization Tips

* Diversify across multiple DEXs
* Prioritize quest completion each round
* Build a referral network for passive income
* Maintain consistent daily activity
* Monitor leaderboards and time activity around round cycles
