# Understanding the Platform ### Navigation at a Glance * **Home (Dashboard):** Your live points, daily check-in, activity streaks, badges, referrals, and task/project stats. * **Marketplace:** Browse and accept projects by category (All, Educational, Accuracy, Social). * **Earnings:** See a weekly points recap and a detailed ledger by Task / Check-in / Referral; view badges. * **Leaderboard:** Rankings across Task Points, Check-in Points, Referral Points, and total Perle Points. * **Referral:** Your invite link, share buttons (X, Telegram, Email), and referral analytics (totals, pending, points). ### How Points Work #### Point System Overview * **Task Points:** Earned for completing tasks in accepted projects. * **Check-in Points:** Daily check-ins award points and help build your streak multiplier. * **Referral Points:** Earn points when referrals join and participate. * **Pending Points:** Points awaiting validation/settlement before they post to your total. * **Spin Points:** Bonus points from daily spin wheel. * **Feedback Points:** Earn points for providing feedback. #### Point Tracking & Transparency * Your total points are visible on every page header tile (Home/Earnings/Referral). * **Earnings → Weekly Recap** shows a graph of points by day for the current week. * **Earnings → Task / Badges / Points tabs** give itemized history (title, project, date, points, status). * **Pending, Referral, and Total** counters are surfaced on the Dashboard and Referral pages. ### Dashboard (Home) What you see: * **Points Card:** Total points and last 24h delta. * **Daily Check-in:** Tap “Check in” to claim points and extend your streak. * **Active Days / Longest Streak:** Consistency metrics that influence multipliers and badges. * **Quick Stats:** Accepted Tasks, Total Tasks, Completed Projects, Total Projects (with week-over-week indicator). * **Referral Snapshot:** Total Referrals, Referral Points, Pending Points + your invite link. * **Profile & Badges:** View current tier and open the full badge list. * **Recommended Projects:** Shortcut to Marketplace when opportunities are live. **Pro tip:** Check in daily first, then accept tasks from Recommended Projects or Marketplace for a higher effective yield. ### Marketplace How it works: * **Popular Projects:** When live, featured opportunities appear here. * **Category Tabs:** All / Educational / Accuracy / Social to quickly filter. * **Sort:** Use the Sort control (bottom right) to order by newest, points, or relevance (options may vary by release). * **Accepted/Total/Completed/Projects tiles:** Your current workload and throughput. **Project types you’ll see:** * **Educational:** Micro-lessons & quizzes to unlock higher-value work. * **Accuracy:** Annotation, evaluation, and validation across text, image, audio, and video. * **Social:** Community and referral-driven actions (when available). ### Earnings * **Points Tile:** Live totals with quick chips for Task / Check-in / Referral subtotals. * **Weekly Recap Chart:** A day-by-day bar chart of points earned this week. * **Ledger Tabs** * **Task:** Per-task entries (Title, Project, Date, Points, Status). * **Badges:** Milestones that grant points or unlocks. * **Points:** Unified breakdown of all point events. * **List Tools:** Sort and layout toggle (list/grid), plus pagination and rows per page. **Pro tip:** If an expected entry isn’t posted, check the “Pending Points” on Dashboard/Referral. Most items settle after validation. ### Leaderboard * **Columns:** Position, User, Task Points, Check-in Points, Referral Points, Perle Points (total). * **Purpose:** Shows platform-wide performance to recognize top contributors across different activities. * **Fairness:** Quality and validation rules still apply, high accuracy sustains rank better than raw volume. **Pro tip:** Balanced activity wins, combine daily check-ins, steady task accuracy, and ethical referrals. ### Referral * **Share & Earn Panel:** Your invite link + share buttons (X, Telegram, Email). * **Counters:** Total Referrals, Referral Points, Pending Points. * **Search & Tabs:** Search referrals; switch between User and Tasks views to audit what’s crediting your points. **Payout logic (high level):** * You earn a percentage of your referrals’ verified points (terms may vary by campaign). * Referral Points appear as “Pending” until validation completes. ### Progression & Tiers * **Tier Badges:** Novice → Researcher → Scholar → Professor → Mastermind (based on lifetime points and sustained accuracy). * **Accuracy Gates:** Maintaining quality (e.g., benchmark/consensus pass rates) unlocks higher-value tasks. * **Streak Effects:** Longer streaks → stronger multipliers → faster tier progress. * **Visibility:** Your current tier and badges are shown on Dashboard and in Earnings → Badges. **Coming soon:** The first tier (**Researcher**) is now available and can be easily unlocked through Educational projects. Higher tiers will be introduced in upcoming platform releases. ### Best-Practice Tips * Check in daily to keep your streak and multiplier active. * Finish Educational modules early to unlock Accuracy projects. * Prioritize accuracy. Quality boosts points more than volume over time. * Use the Marketplace filters to target projects that match your domain. * Invite peers you trust. High-quality referrals sustain Referral Points (and your reputation). * Monitor Earnings weekly to catch issues early and track your growth. ### **Tier Progression System** COMING SOON --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
