Folks Points launch on Algorand

Folks Finance has an ongoing points campaign to complement the xChain expansion. The Points system has now been expanded to reward Folks Algorand users as well! Algorand users will also be retroactively rewarded with additional points to accurately reflect their historical usage of Folks. Please note that retroactive points will not be distributed on the day Algorand Points goes live. The Folks team will share details about the retroactive points distribution in the near future.

How to check Algorand Points:

Simply go to app.folks.finance, click “Points” in the top-menu, and connect your Algorand wallet.

How to maximize Points collection:

1. Deposit and Collateralize
The more assets you deposit into Folks Finance and the longer you leave them, the more points you’ll rack up.

2. Borrow
If you’re borrowing, you’re earning points. The higher the borrowed amount, and the longer it’s borrowed for, the more points are accumulated.

3. Repay Your Loan
Repaying interest accrued in loans earns points.

4. Social Tasks
Complete on-chain tasks or social activities, like following and reposting, for extra points. Folks Finance is using quest platforms like Galxe to facilitate this aspect of the Points system.

5. Liquid Staking: Staking your ALGO in xALGO will be rewarded.

6. Swaps and Flash Loans: Usage of the swap and flash loan features on Folks also generates points.
