# mev-commit Points Program

The `mev-commit` Points Program rewards validators who opt-in and remain actively opted-in. Points accrue over **6-month Seasons**, with each Season offering base points plus growing multipliers. All points will be visible on the [Validator Dashboard](https://validators.mev-commit.xyz/) like the screenshot below. Read more to learn how points are awarded and how to maximize your total.

## Quick Overview

* **Immediate Reward:** Earn **1,000 points** per validator right when you opt in.
* **6-Month Seasons:** Completing an entire Season nets you up to **10,000 points** total in Season 1, and double for following seasons.
* **Multipliers:**
  * Season 1: base schedule (see table below).
  * Season 2 & 3: rewards are **2×** each month’s total.
* **Opt-Out Penalties:** If you opt out early during a season, you keep the **base points** for fully completed months but **lose** that month’s multiplier.

<Note>Stay opted in with as many validators through all seasons for the maximum multiplier bonus.</Note>

## Monthly Accrual (Season 1)

Below is the monthly schedule for Season 1, showing **cumulative** points if you remain opted in through each month:

| Month     | Total Points if Still Opted In at Month End |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| 1         | 1,000                                       |
| 2         | 1,270                                       |

| 6         | 2,330                                       |
| **Total** | **10,000**                                  |

* Points accrue **daily**, but the monthly multiplier is only **finalized** if you remain opted-in through each 6 month Season.
* **Season 2 & 3** double all monthly totals shown above (2x).

## Points Chart

Below is a visualization of your points over the planned 3 Seasons. Accrued points represent all points available at the end of a season. Solidified points represent points that will remain with your operator before a Season is over.

## Aggregated Points at Operator Level

Your dashboard displays **one aggregate total** across all your opted-in validators. Operators can see total points and watch them grow daily.

## Maximize Points via Partner Protocols

You can earn additional or parallel rewards when using partner protocols alongside `mev-commit`:

* **EigenLayer:** Operators opted-in to the `mev-commit AVS` on EigenLayer may earn `$eigen` token rewards (based on EigenLayer’s policies).
* **Symbiotic, Mellow, SSV:** Opt-in validators using these protocols to earn points from them AND mev-commit. Points will be available on the Symbiotic dashboard as well.

<Info>If you participated in prior **testnet phases**, you may be eligible for extra **genesis points**. Please reach out to our team so we can verify your participation and make your bonus available.</Info>

## Opt-Out Scenarios

* **Before Month Ends**
  * You keep points from previous fully completed months.
  * You **forfeit** any partially accrued points for the current month.

* **Before 6 Months But After Some Full Months**
  * You keep **1,000 base points** for each fully completed month in Season 1, double for subsequent seasons.
  * You **lose** the monthly multiplier for those months.
  * Example: If you leave before the end of a Season, you only keep 1,000 for each completed month without the monthly multiplier.

* **Opting Out and Re-Opting In**
  * A **7-day cooldown** applies for each validator key if you opt out. If you have trouble with this, reach out to our team.
  * Rejoining resets you to Season 1 status.
