# Points

Award customizable Guild Points to gamify participation, incentivize specific behaviors, and track member activity. Points accumulate over time and can unlock higher-tier roles or future rewards.

#### Setting up Points rewards

**1. Create your points system**

* In the role editor, click **"Add reward"** and select **Points**
* Give your points a custom name or just use "points"
* Upload a custom icon to represent your points (optional)
  * Supported formats: PNG, JPG, SVG
  * Maximum file size: 5MB
* Create the point system and set how many points members receive for qualifying for this role
* Click **"Add reward"**
* A leaderboard is automatically created for each point system

{% hint style="info" %}
You can create one point system across your whole Guild or multiple systems for different campaigns or member groups.
{% endhint %}

#### How Points rewards work for members

* Members can claim points when they meet role requirements
* On the leaderboard, they can see their total points and rank
* You can use point totals as requirements for other roles to create progression systems
* Points are off-chain and managed entirely within Guild

#### Why use Points in your Guild

* **Progression** - Let members accumulate experience and unlock higher roles over time
* **Recognition** - Track and display meaningful contributions publicly
* **Incentives** - Reward valuable actions like attending events or completing tasks
* **Gamification** - Turn participation into an engaging experience with levels and tiers
* **Future utility** - Use point balances for allowlists, exclusive drops, or real-world rewards

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.guild.xyz/guild/how-to-setup-rewards/points.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
