# N1 Points

> How N1 Points, total Season 1 Points, Levels, and Momentum work.

N1 Points recognize participation in the N1 ecosystem. Points are distributed weekly during Season 1 and contribute to a user's Level and Momentum status.

:::note Season 1 program status

The Season 1 program is still being finalized. Eligibility rules, boost parameters, and dates may change before they are confirmed.

## Points

Each user has one private N1 Points balance. The owner can see their current and lifetime Points, weekly Points earned, and progress toward the next Level.

There is no public Points leaderboard in Season 1. A user's public profile shows their Level and Momentum, but not their exact Points balance or progress toward the next Level.

## Total Points

Season 1 is designed to distribute a fixed total of **1,987,000,000 N1 Points**.

| Component | Points |
| --- | ---: |
| 26 live weeks at 75,000,000 Points per week | 1,950,000,000 |
| Two retroactive weeks | 37,000,000 |
| **Season 1 total** | **1,987,000,000** |

Momentum and other boost parameters can change how a weekly pool is divided among eligible users. They do not increase the total number of Points in that pool or the Season 1 total.

## Levels

Levels turn a user's cumulative Points into public progression. Levels are uncapped, and each successive Level is more difficult to reach.

Levels are cosmetic. They make progression visible but do not increase a user's share of future Points.

## Momentum

Momentum reflects consistent eligible activity over time. A user's public profile shows a Momentum state and may show the length of the active run. Momentum can increase the user's share of a weekly distribution, but it does not increase the weekly or Season 1 Points total.
