At 00:00 UTC on November 5, 2026, ORIGIN, the first season of Bitbase Points, completed its first daily distribution. Our previous article covered how to take part and where points come from. This article uses the first day's data to explain how points are allocated, when they are distributed and how they are reviewed.
Day one
A total of 14,161 users earned points on ORIGIN's first day. As of November 5, Bitbase had distributed more than 6 million points in total, including Alpha points credited to existing users before ORIGIN began in appreciation of their long-standing support.
A fixed pool, allocated by share of contribution
ORIGIN distributes a total of 1,000,000 points per week. Because the pool is fixed, the points a user receives each day depend on that user's share of the total contribution from all participants that day, rather than on a fixed conversion rate.
For example, a user whose contribution accounts for 1% of the day's total would receive 1% of that day's pool. The same trading and holdings may therefore earn different amounts of points on different days.
Each day's pool is allocated independently, and the previous day's ranking does not affect the current day's allocation. Users are included in the allocation from the day they begin taking part, including those who join after ORIGIN has started.
Calculation and distribution cycle
Points are calculated per UTC calendar day and distributed at 00:00 UTC the following day (T+1). Points generated on November 4 were credited at 00:00 UTC on November 5.
The points page features a daily leaderboard and an overall leaderboard. The daily leaderboard ranks points from the previous day and reflects a single day's contribution. The overall leaderboard ranks cumulative points, including Alpha points. Each displays the top 1,000 users and updates with each daily distribution.
Consistency
Consistency is calculated weekly. The more days a user trades within a week, the larger that user's allocation share. The number of trading days in the current week is shown on the points page.
Referral bonus
Referrers receive an additional 25% of the contribution generated by users they invite directly: for every 4 contribution points an invited user generates, the referrer is credited with 1 additional contribution point. Invited users keep 100% of their own contribution. The bonus applies only to direct referrals and does not extend across multiple levels.
Review of points
Bitbase continuously monitors and reviews abnormal trades, IP addresses and devices. Where wash trading, market manipulation or referral abuse is identified, the platform may deduct the relevant points, adjust allocations or revoke eligibility. Outcomes will be announced publicly.
After ORIGIN ends at 23:59 UTC on May 4, 2027, the platform will settle and review points from May 5 to May 18.
FAQ
Why does the same trading earn different points on different days?
The daily pool is fixed, and points are allocated by share of that day's contribution. When total contribution from all participants changes, each user's share and points change with it.
Why do the daily and overall rankings differ?
The daily leaderboard counts only the previous day's points. The overall leaderboard counts cumulative points, including Alpha points credited before ORIGIN began.
Can users who join after ORIGIN has started still take part?
Yes. Each day's pool is allocated independently, and users are included from the day they begin taking part.
Can points be traded or withdrawn?
No. Points are functional credits within Bitbase. Their uses will be announced at a later stage of ORIGIN.
Can the points criteria change?
The points criteria may be adjusted in line with platform operations. The rules published on the official page prevail.
More surprises will follow over the course of ORIGIN. Full rules are available at bitbase.com/points. Stay tuned and keep taking part.
Every Move Counts.
