Points
Points are a lifetime score for your activity on Catapult: you earn them for trading volume, for launching tokens and for the trading of people you invited, and they set your tier and your place on the points leaderboard.
How you earn points
| Source | Points | Counts |
|---|---|---|
| Synthetic trade, open | 1 point per $1 of position size (margin after the open fee × leverage) × booster multiplier | Real-money part only |
| Synthetic trade, close | 1 point per $1 of close amount × leverage × booster multiplier | Not for a liquidation |
| 10000x Futures position | 1 point per $1 of stake × leverage, leverage counted up to 100x | Once, when the position closes |
| Launching a Synthetic token | 10 points per $1 of launch cost | Not for competition tokens |
| Referrals | Half of your tier share of your direct referrals' trading volume | See below |
Competition trades (Demo and Arena) earn no points. Trades paid with Bonus Balance earn points only for the real-money part.
Formulas

where is the margin that goes into the position after the open fee (real-money part only), the leverage (1 for spot), the amount you get back when you close, and the booster multiplier of the token at the moment of that trade (1 without a booster). A liquidated position gets .

where is the stake. The cap is 100x today.

Referral points, per trade of someone you invited:
where is your tier's direct share (see the tier table) and the volume of the trade: for Synthetic, the amount your referral paid, fee included; for Futures, the stake times leverage counted up to 100x. Your referral keeps all of their own points; yours are extra.
Booster multipliers
Boosted tokens multiply trading points for every trade made while the booster runs.
| Booster | Points multiplier | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| B1 | 1.5x | 3 s | $1 |
| B2 | 2x | 30 s | $2 |
| B3 | 3x | 1 min | $5 |
| B4 | 4x | 5 min | $30 |
| B5 | 5x | 15 min | $100 |
| B6 | 7x | 30 min | $250 |

Tiers
Your tier depends only on your total points. There are 12 tiers; the first starts at 0 and the top one at 25,000,000 points. Points never expire and never reset, so a tier, once reached, is kept.
Points leaderboard
- Ranks all users by total points, all time. There are no seasons.
- Each user also has a place inside their tier. Futures points count in the total.
- Refreshes every 6 hours, at 00:37, 06:37, 12:37 and 18:37 UTC.
Points and the $PULT airdrop
Every user on the points leaderboard will have their points converted to $PULT tokens at TGE. The exact conversion formulas will be published publicly before TGE.
- The conversion uses your total points, all time. Points never expire, so every point you earn before the conversion counts.
- Competition trades earn no points, so they add nothing to your conversion.
