# Activity Scores

### 📊 How Activity Scores Work

Your **Activity Score** determines how much $GBM you can claim at the end of each Reward Season. It’s a transparent system that rewards all types of valuable participation - not just bidding.

### 🧮 The Formula

**Activity Score =** Bidding Points + Winning Points + Selling Points 

Each category reflects a different kind of contribution to the protocol and all points are calculated using $USDC values

**→ 1 $USDC = 1 point**

### 💸 Bidding Points

* Earn points equal to the **incentive value** you receive when outbid.

**Example:**\
You bid **50 $USDC** and are later outbid.\
You receive an **incentive reward of 5 $USDC**.\
→ You earn **5 points**

* **Bonus Participation Boost:**\
  At the end of any auction you bid in, you also earn **+1% of the final bid’s $USDC value** just for participating.

**Example:**\
Final auction price = **$1,000**\
→ You earn **10 bonus points** (1% of $1,000)

### 🏁 Winning Points

If you win an auction, you earn **4× the final incentive value** you would have received if outbid.

**Example:**\
The final incentive value you would have received if outbid was **50 $USDC**.\
→ You earn **200 points** (4x 50)

### 🛍️ Selling Points

As a seller, you earn points equal to the **total $USDC incentive value** generated by bidders in your auction.

**Example:**\
Your auction generates **300 $USDC** in total incentives.\
→ You earn **300 points**
