# Rewards & XP (/docs/rewards)

Earn XP for building, running, and sharing real workflows. XP sets your builder tier and counts toward season prizes.



Solaris AI Flow rewards the work that makes the platform better: workflows that actually run, automations that actually fire, and listings that other builders actually import. That work earns **XP**.

XP is reputation, not currency. It never expires, is never spent, and does not convert into credits or tokens. What it does is set your **builder tier**, count toward the current **season**, and make you eligible for season prizes.

There is nothing to enable. Use Solaris AI Flow normally and open **Rewards** in the dashboard sidebar to see your tier, your season progress, and your XP ledger.

Builder tiers [#builder-tiers]

Your tier comes from lifetime XP. It only ever goes up: tiers never decay and never reset between seasons.

| Tier     | Lifetime XP | What you get                                                      |
| -------- | ----------: | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Bronze   |           0 | Starting tier                                                     |
| Silver   |         500 | Tier badge on your marketplace listings, season prize eligibility |
| Gold     |       2,500 | Everything in Silver, higher-status badge                         |
| Platinum |      10,000 | Everything in Gold, top-of-ladder badge                           |

From Silver up, your tier appears as a badge next to your name on your marketplace listings. Buyers see it at the point of purchase, so it works as a trust signal: a Gold builder has verifiably shipped workflows that run.

Builder tiers are separate from the [SOLARIS fee-discount tiers](/docs/token), which come from the token balance in your embedded wallet. Holding SOLARIS does not earn XP, and XP does not change your swap fees.

Earning XP [#earning-xp]

XP comes from two tracks: one-time contribution events, and ongoing usage.

Building and sharing [#building-and-sharing]

| Action                        | What counts                                                                               |  XP |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --: |
| First successful run          | A workflow you built finishes a successful run you started yourself                       |  25 |
| Proven workflow               | One of your workflows reaches 10 successful runs, however they were triggered             |  50 |
| First automation              | Your first cron or webhook trigger fires successfully on its own (once per account)       |  50 |
| Copilot build shipped         | A workflow the Copilot built for you succeeds within 24 hours                             |  75 |
| Copilot feedback              | You rate a Copilot proposal (first rating per proposal)                                   |   5 |
| Marketplace listing           | You publish a workflow that already has 3 or more successful runs (your first 5 listings) | 100 |
| Someone imports your workflow | A distinct builder purchases or imports one of your listings                              | 400 |

A few things follow from the "real work" rule:

* Creating a workflow earns nothing by itself. Its first successful run does.
* Scheduled and webhook runs do not earn contribution XP on their own, so an aggressive cron cannot out-earn a human. They still count toward the proven-workflow milestone and still earn usage XP.
* Publishing pays only for workflows that have already proven themselves, and only for your first five listings. The real marketplace reward is distinct buyers: at 400 XP each, a listing people actually import is the fastest climb in the catalog.
* Buying your own listing does not count.

Contribution XP is capped at **2,000 XP per day**. A great day (say, four distinct buyers) fits comfortably; the cap exists to keep seasons honest, not to slow you down.

Usage [#usage]

Running workflows earns XP from the credits you spend: **1 XP per 100 purchased credits**, and 1 XP per 1,000 free or promo credits. Usage XP is counted net of refunds (an unused loop reservation that gets refunded earns nothing), has no daily cap, and is credited once a day, so it appears in your breakdown the day after the spend.

Seasons [#seasons]

Alongside lifetime XP, every point you earn also counts toward the current season. Season XP resets when a new season starts; your lifetime XP and tier never do.

The **Rewards** panel shows the current season and the XP you've earned in it. Season standings are tracked internally for prize decisions; there is no public leaderboard, and wallet addresses and emails are never exposed to other users.

Reaching Silver makes you eligible for the season's SOLARIS prize pool. Prizes are decided and sent manually by the Solaris AI team at the end of a season, after a review of the winning accounts; amounts and winners are announced per season. XP itself never converts to SOLARIS at a fixed rate, and no action has a token price on it, so treat the season as the scoreboard it is: climb it with real workflows and real buyers.

If XP looks missing [#if-xp-looks-missing]

* Usage XP is credited daily. Spend from today shows up tomorrow.
* Preview runs and failed runs never earn.
* Contribution events are one-time by design: rating the same proposal twice, or a repeat purchase from the same buyer, does not pay twice.
* If you hit the daily contribution cap, anything over the cap is not carried to the next day.
