Announcing Points
Today we're introducing Points—a simple yet powerful way to acknowledge and reward those who bring value to the Portrait ecosystem. It's launching this Thursday, and we couldn't be more excited.
On Portrait you can do two things: publish your own content and keep someone else’s content online. Most people float between the two, but it’s totally fine if you don’t. Some focus more on hosting than creating; others just want to design their own Portrait and call it a day. Points respect both paths.
If you are mostly a host, every hour your node stays up counts. If you’re mostly a creator, everything you share counts. And if you hop back and forth, Points add it all up just the same.
How Points Work
Starting this Thursday, everyone who registers a Portrait on our testnet will be able to earn Points. Actions like actively hosting Portraits, engaging positively with the community, or contributing meaningful content will directly earn you Points. It's a straightforward approach designed to fairly reflect your contribution to the network's health and vibrancy. As we move toward mainnet, these insights will guide the design of fair, transparent reward structures.
Eligibility
Points are available exclusively for users who have registered a Portrait. This ensures that rewards remain directly connected to meaningful contributions and genuine community engagement. We understand the skepticism around points and reward systems. We've deliberately designed Portrait Points to avoid these pitfalls.
What's Next?
We invite everyone to join us in testing and shaping this next phase. Your participation is more than just earning Points—it's helping us build a sustainable, expressive, and genuinely empowering space on the decentralized web.
Join us this Thursday and start earning Points. Your contributions make Portrait stronger.
