Contribution in ORIGIN, the first season of Bitbase Points, comes from four sources: trading, holdings, consistency and referrals. Trading, holdings and referrals reflect a user's participation on each day, while consistency reflects whether a user keeps taking part across the week. This article explains how consistency is calculated, where it is shown, and the role it plays in ORIGIN's design.
How consistency is calculated
Consistency is calculated weekly. The more trading days a user has in a week, the higher this source's contribution.
Trading days follow the UTC calendar day, from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC. Whether a day counts as a trading day is determined by the system based on that day's trading, as shown on the points page.
Consistency is assessed together with the other three sources and counts toward each day's share of contribution. The weights of individual sources are not published.
On the points page
bitbase.com/points shows "Trading days this week", the number of trading days recorded so far in the current week, so users can follow their progress at any time.
Why consistency is a contribution source
ORIGIN runs for 26 weeks, with 1,000,000 points each week, distributed daily. If only single days were considered, a user who trades on a few days would be hard to distinguish from one who trades steadily every day. Consistency makes sustained participation count in its own right.
This reflects ORIGIN's design, which focuses on sustained participation over 26 weeks rather than a single burst of trading. "Every Move Counts" means that every day of participation is recorded.
Products for everyday trading
Consistency counts trading days. Bitbase lists 590+ crypto assets, and trades on Spot, Futures and TradFi all count:
Spot: 400+ spot trading pairs. Everyday buying, selling and rebalancing all count as trading for the day.
Futures: 760+ futures trading pairs, including USDT-margined and USDC-margined perpetual contracts, settled in USDT and USDC respectively. Futures carry higher risk, so users should size positions to their own circumstances.
TradFi: 220+ traditional-market instruments across US stocks, precious metals and ETFs, available through TradFi futures and TradFi spot, with US stocks also tradable using crypto.
Assets held in the account or placed in Earn count toward holdings contribution, not as trading days. For users who trade less often, holdings contribution still counts in each day's distribution.
Bitbase does not encourage users to change their trading habits for points or to trade beyond their means. Consistency measures how steadily a user takes part, not how much they trade.
FAQ
Where are this week's trading days shown?
Under "Trading days this week" on bitbase.com/points.
Does holding without trading count as a trading day?
No. Holdings and Earn count toward holdings contribution, and trading days count trading only.
Does a day without trading affect points already received?
No. Each day's distribution is independent, and points already distributed are not affected.
How much does consistency weigh in total contribution?
The weights of individual sources are not published, to limit gaming and protect users who take part genuinely.
