# How to earn Points

## Earn points per action

Every on-chain action performed through Zaïffer generates points. These points reflect your level of engagement and contribution to the protocol’s activity.

<table><thead><tr><th width="245.6796875">Action</th><th width="342.37109375">Description</th><th>Base Points</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Deploy Wrapper</td><td>Create a new confidential token (cToken)</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>Shield Tokens</td><td>Convert ERC-20 → cTokens</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td>Unshield Tokens</td><td>Convert cTokens → ERC-20</td><td>−4</td></tr><tr><td>Confidential single Transfer</td><td>Send a single confidential payment</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Confidential Group Transfers</td><td>Send a group of confidential payments</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td>Confidential Swap</td><td>Execute a private trade on a DEX</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>Confidential Yield</td><td>Deposit cTokens into a lending or yield pool</td><td>20</td></tr></tbody></table>

Shield, Unshield, Confidential Swap and Confidential Yield actions offer a multiplier effect to boost your points per action.

**Formula**:

```jsx
Points per action = Base Points * Multiplier
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Zaïffer can update Base Points or Multipliers each Season to align incentives with strategic goals.
{% endhint %}

## Volume Multiplier

For every **Shield, Unshield, Swap, or Lend** action, Zaïffer applies a **Volume-Based Multiplier** to your Base Points.

This multiplier increases your points depending on the **size of your transaction**, rewarding users who generate higher economic activity while keeping the system fair and transparent.

Zaïffer uses a **Tiered Multiplier system**, meaning each transaction falls into a volume tier with a fixed multiplier:

<table data-full-width="true"><thead><tr><th>Tier</th><th>Transaction Volume</th><th>Multiplier</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Tier 1</strong></td><td>0 – 999 USD</td><td><strong>1.0×</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Tier 2</strong></td><td>1,000 – 19,999 USD</td><td><strong>1.25×</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Tier 3</strong></td><td>20,000 – 99,999 USD</td><td><strong>1.6×</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Tier 4</strong></td><td>100,000 USD or more</td><td><strong>2.0×</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>

Transfers and actions with fixed fees (Deploy Wrapper or Group Transfers) are not affected by the multiplier.

**Example:**

> Shielding 1,000 USDC → 8 points × 1.25 = **10 points**
