# DATUM: How it Works

## What Are DATUM Points?

**DATUM Points** are your reputation score in the Datai ecosystem. They reflect your level of participation; across apps, quests, and campaigns powered by Datai.

The more you explore your wallet and engage with our tools, the more points you earn.

## How to Earn DATUM Points

There are currently **two ways** to earn DATUM Points:

**1. Use Crunchie (AI DeFi Assistant)**

* Ask Crunchie questions about the current DeFi investment opportunities
* Request insights, suggestions, or summaries
* The more queries you make, the more points you earn

*You’ll see your Datum Points increase in real time as you use Crunchie.*

> Phase 1 - Crunchie has now ended, please refer to Phase 2 - BNB Wallet Score.

**2. Mint Your BNB Wallet Score**

* Join our **BNB Wallet Score Campaign**
* Connect your wallet and mint your wallet score badge (0.0011 BNB)
* You’ll earn a one-time **Datum Points bonus** based on your wallet activity

*This score is out of 1000, but only contributes to your Datum Points after minting.*

## The Leaderboard

The **Leaderboard** ranks community members by their total DATUM Points, not wallet scores.

* Top contributors = most engaged users
* May be used to unlock **rewards, raffles, beta access**, or other campaign perks
* Updated live as you use Crunchie or mint score badges

**Important:** You don’t need a high wallet score to be ranked, activity and consistency matter too.

## **How to Climb the Ranks?**

You can earn DATUM through a variety of in-app actions:

* Stay active and **complete missions** listed on the Missions tab.
* **Chatting** with [Crunchie](/datai-campaign-hub/phase-1-crunchie.md) and exploring prompts.
* **Minting** your [BNB Wallet Score](/datai-campaign-hub/phase-2-bnb-wallet-score.md).
* **Sharing your progress** or rank card on X (Twitter).
* **Referring friends** to join the campaign.
* Engaging daily to maintain your activity streak:
  * **Daily Check-In:** Earn points by logging in and checking in once per day.
  * **Streak Bonuses:** Build streaks by completing at least one mission per day for consecutive days.
  * **Weekly Leaderboard Rewards:** The top 10 users on the global leaderboard each week receive bonus DATUM and special recognition.

## **Crunchie Daily Chat Limit**

Each user can send up to 5 messages to Crunchie per day. Use them wisely,  every interaction counts toward your progress and helps you earn DATUM. The limit resets daily, encouraging consistent engagement and discovery over time.

## BNB Wallet Score Refresh Rate

A user's BNB Wallet Score gets updated once per week, to consider the latest on-chain activity.

## **Referral Criteria**&#x20;

To keep referrals meaningful and fair, users can now make up to **3 referrals per day**.\
For a referral to count, the referred user must **authenticate with their social media accounts** and **earn at least 200 DATUM**.\
Only verified, active participants will generate referral rewards.

## Mission Examples

Each mission displays its DATUM reward value and can be completed directly in the app. Examples include:

| **Action**                      | **Reward** | **How to Complete**                                  |
