# Understanding SWARM Points

How do we quantify value in a decentralized community? Our answer is **SWARM Points**.

SWARM Points are our system for measuring and rewarding the meaningful contributions of users within the Torus ecosystem. They are a direct representation of your impact. When you help the network grow, your efforts are seen, measured, and rewarded.

#### How Can You Earn SWARM Points?

You earn points by performing actions that bring value to the ecosystem. Our system is designed to recognize a wide range of contributions, both on-chain and off-chain.

Here are some of the ways you can earn SWARM Points:

* **Ingesting Quality Content:** Manually ingest valuable tweets into the Swarm Memory by tagging `@SwarmNexus`.
* **Creating Valuable Content:** Write insightful articles, create high-quality tweets, or produce other content that educates and engages the community.
* **Community Support:** Help other users in Discord or Telegram, answer questions, and foster a welcoming environment.
* **Insightful Participation:** Ask thoughtful questions during official Twitter Spaces or community calls.
* **Completing Bounties:** Participate in specific tasks or bounties announced by the Swarm Nexus team.

Additionally, our team has the ability to manually assign SWARM Points to reward exceptional actions that don't fit into automated categories.

#### Why Do SWARM Points Matter?

SWARM Points are more than just a number; they power your journey within the ecosystem:

1. **Visibility:** Your points determine your rank on the **Community Leaderboard**, showcasing your impact.
2. **Rewards:** SWARM Points are the key to earning real rewards through **The Nexus Flywheel**, our system for distributing `TORUS` tokens to top contributors.

Your impact is now visible, measurable, and rewarded. Start contributing today and watch your SWARM Points grow!

## 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://swarmnexus.gitbook.io/swarmnexus/documentation/readme/user-guide/understanding-swarm-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.
