# What are XP and levels?

You earn experience points for taking part, and they raise your level.

XP means experience points. You earn them for taking part in your community. As your XP grows, you move up levels. There are 25 levels.

XP is a thank-you for being active. It is separate from your time credits and is never used to pay for exchanges.

## How you earn XP

Some examples of what earns XP:

- sending time credits to someone: 10 XP
- creating a listing: 15 XP
- leaving a review: 10 XP
- joining a group: 10 XP
- saying you are going to an event: 15 XP

You also earn XP from badges, challenges and the daily reward.

## See your XP and level

Open [Achievements](/achievements) . The top of the page shows your **Level** , your total XP, and how much more you need for the next level. You are told each time you reach a new level.

## Daily reward

The **Daily Reward** card on the same page gives you a little XP each day.

1. Press Claim Reward.
2. Come back the next day to claim again.

Claiming on days in a row builds a streak, such as **5 day streak** . Longer streaks give bonus XP. If you miss a day, the streak starts again.
