Points Deep Dive

Let's dive into the core investments Project 0 has made to deliver a new, robust points system.

When we built Project 0, we wanted to rebuild our data pipelines from the ground up (if you're interested in how, read this). We wanted to take the legacy system's weakest point and turn it into one of our core strengths. This new pipeline has helped build an entirely new, transparent, and robust points system.

If you're feeling jumpy, go ahead and get a breakdown of your Project 0 points here. If you care to understand how we were able to build this system, read along.

Strong Data Modeling

Our biggest unlock was leveraging SCD2 models. I talked about this in our previous article, but its impact truly can't be understated. SCD models allow us to see how long a user kept a position open, down to the millisecond.

`| start_time | end_time | Account | Position |`
`| ------------------- | ------------------- | ------- | ----- |`
`| 2025-08-05 12:00:00 | 2025-08-05 12:20:00 | ABC | 10 |`
`| 2025-08-05 12:20:00 | 2025-08-05 12:25:00 | ABC | 20 |`
`| 2025-08-05 12:25:00 | 9999-12-31 00:00:00 | ABC | 15 |`

Our new system leverages this to ensure that users can't game the system, and we are accurately rewarding users for every millisecond they choose to trust Project 0 with their funds.

Transparency and Backfilling

This new system doesn't just show you a big number without any explanation. You can get a daily breakdown and understand how many points you earned every single day. You can understand your points per account, per bank, per day, and per campaign.

Since this system calculates data with traceability, if we ever find an error in our logic, it's simple for us to backfill this data (not that we've had to do this).

A Note on Emissions

We use this same pipeline for our new emissions and incentive strategy. We have been working closely with incentive partners to showcase how users are participating in their campaigns. Something to keep in mind: we don't distribute to users who have earned less than $1 per week. But instead we will roll up all their dollar amounts over time and do a single bulk drop periodically.

Onward

This is just the tip of the iceberg. We've expanded the team from one to three. And with this core data at our fingertips, users can expect more insight, clarity, and transparency. You can leverage any platform in DeFi. We're happy you're with us, and we're going to continue to provide you with the tools to make the best decisions possible.
