XP is earned by competing, not by showing up. Every dollar you put on the line, every streak you keep alive, every rank you climb — it all converts into Season XP. This page is the complete reference.
XP only ever comes from competitions and social activity. Duels are winner-take-all cash matches and award no Season XP.

​
Trading & competitions

Your buy-in is the foundation. Everything else — streaks, placement, avoiding liquidation — stacks on top of it.
ActionXP
Enter a competition1 XP per $1 of entry fee
Daily participation bonus (buy-in of $10 or more)+25 XP
Duels0 XP — duels never award Season XP
A 50buy−inearns∗∗50XP∗∗onitsown.Clearthe50 buy-in earns **50 XP** on its own. Clear the 10 threshold on the same day and you pick up the +25 XP daily bonus automatically — no separate action required.

​
Streak milestones

Qualify for the daily participation bonus on consecutive days and you’ll unlock one-time streak bonuses at these thresholds:
StreakBonus (one-time)
3 days+150 XP
7 days+600 XP
30 days+4,500 XP
90 days+25,000 XP
Each milestone pays out once per streak — break the chain and you start climbing back toward the next one from zero.

​
Placement bonuses

Where you finish adds a percentage on top of your buy-in XP — not on your winnings, on the XP your entry fee already earned.
PlacementBonus
1st place+60%
2nd place+25%
3rd place+15%
Top 10%+10%
Top 25%+5%
Avoided liquidation+10%
The liquidation bonus is independent of rank — survive the competition without getting liquidated and it applies regardless of where you place.

​
Worked example

A $50 buy-in, finishing 2nd, and surviving the competition without liquidation:
ComponentXP
Buy-in (1 XP × $50)50
Daily participation bonus (buy-in ≥ $10)+25
2nd place bonus (25% of buy-in XP)+12.5
Avoided liquidation (10% of buy-in XP)+5
Total92.5 XP

​
Social XP

Growing the Speculate name pays too. Link your accounts, follow, and post — each converts into XP.
ActionXP
Link your Discord+100 (one-time)
Link your X account+100 (one-time)
Follow @SpeculateTrade on X (verified)+1,000 (one-time)

​
Posting on X

XP for a qualifying post scales with your follower count — the bigger your reach, the bigger the payout.
FollowersXP per post
1001
1,00050
5,000110
10,000250
50,000 (super-post)1,000
500,000 (super-post)2,500
