# Earn XP & Quests



XP and the Engagement System [#xp-and-the-engagement-system]

The XP system rewards active participation in Labs. It creates a progression loop that gives users goals to pursue, achievements to unlock, and status to earn.

Quests [#quests]

Quests are specific tasks that earn XP when completed. They refresh on daily or weekly cycles, providing ongoing objectives.

Quest types include:

* Engagement activities
* Staking milestones
* Community participation
* And more

Completing quests is the primary way to earn XP.

XP Accumulation [#xp-accumulation]

Every quest completed adds XP to a user's total. XP accumulates permanently. Consistent participation builds lasting progress, and early users develop advantages that compound over time.

Levels [#levels]

As XP accumulates, users progress through levels. Higher levels increase your chance of getting a part of the pool for that season. A user's level reflects their history of engagement with Labs and signals their standing in the community.

Leaderboard [#leaderboard]

The leaderboard ranks users by XP and level. It provides visibility into where users stand relative to the community. Top performers gain recognition, and seasonal competitions offer additional rewards for those who climb highest.

XP & Progress Tracking [#xp--progress-tracking]

Users can view:

* Total XP earned
* Current level
* Progress toward the next level
* Historical XP activity

This provides a clear picture of engagement and standing within the community.
