# Earning Points ## Mechanisms for Earning Onyx Points The Onyx Points incentive framework provides users with three distinct, yet synergistic, methods through which they can actively participate in the Onyx ecosystem and accrue points. These earning pathways are not arbitrarily defined; rather, they are strategically constructed to align with the foundational principles and operational capabilities of the XCN Ledger. This ensures that the accrual of Onyx Points reflects meaningful engagement, protocol-enhancing behavior, and sustainable economic activity governed by Onyx DAO. Each method has been optimized to reward users for interacting with core decentralized finance primitives—liquidity provision, asset management, and on-chain utility—while reinforcing protocol security, stability, and user growth. The design intention is to embed incentive structures directly into behaviors that the XCN Ledger is uniquely equipped to support at the protocol level. --- # 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.
