What Are Alphio Points?
Alphio Points are Alphio's user-reward points. They are designed to recognize meaningful activity on the platform, especially trading, referrals, and participation in official campaigns.
In practical terms, Alphio Points are meant to reward users who help grow the platform and actively use Alphio for research, execution, and ongoing trading activity.

1. How to earn Alphio Points
The Alphio Points page (/account/alphio-points; web: avatar menu → Alphio Points) lists these ways to earn:
- Active - running AI trading tasks earns active score. Daily Check-in and AI chat don't earn Alphio Points (check-in rewards are Credits).
- Trade - qualified trades through Alphio earn Alphio Points: crypto (Hyperliquid perps and centralized exchanges), Polymarket prediction markets, and in-app meme coin and blue-chip token swaps. Copy Trade and Agent Warrior trades earn a higher points rate on the same trading volume. Stock and ETF trades currently don't earn Alphio Points. Each trade must be at least $10 to count toward your trading volume ($1 for meme and blue-chip swaps); smaller trades aren't counted.
- Referral - your referrals' activity earns you a bonus through the Tier 1 / Tier 2 structure (section 4).
- Official campaigns and operations - Alphio may distribute points through platform campaigns (such as the Copy Trade Challenge), trading competitions, seasonal promotions, and other community activities.
Paid subscribers earn 2x Alphio Points rewards, as shown on the Alphio Points page; free accounts don't get this multiplier. The exact rules can evolve over time; the Alphio Points page is the current source of truth.
2. How Alphio Points are distributed
Alphio Points are not minted one-for-one from your activity. Each week Alphio distributes a pool of Alphio Points among participating users based on their activity that week.
One practical consequence worth knowing: because the pool is shared, the same activity can be worth a different number of points from one week to the next. If your points move without your own activity changing, that's expected.
The cycle works like this:
| Stage | Timing |
|---|---|
| Accrual window | One week. The Alphio Points page shows a Weekly Snapshot countdown to the next cut-off. |
| Settlement | After the week closes (weekly cycle, UTC). |
| Distribution | Alphio Points are distributed weekly, 2-3 days after the week closes. |
So there's an expected gap between the countdown hitting zero and the points landing in your balance — that's normal, not a bug.
3. Trading rewards are the core path
Trading is expected to be the primary way most users earn Alphio Points.
The key idea is straightforward:
- the more qualified trading you do through Alphio,
- the more platform activity you contribute,
- and the more Alphio Points you can potentially earn over time.
Points are intended to reward sustained usage rather than one-off clicks. Your Progress Hub on the Alphio Points page shows your trading volume, AI tasks run, and total referrals.
The Trading Volume there is this week's total (UTC week, resets every Monday 00:00 UTC) of your qualified trades only — trades under $10 ($1 for swaps) aren't included.
4. Referral rewards can compound
Referrals add a second growth path on top of your own trading.
As described in Invite Friends to Earn Alphio Points:
- Tier 1 - earn 10% of the Alphio Points earned by your direct invitees
- Tier 2 - earn 5% of the Alphio Points earned by the friends invited by your direct invitees
Referral points only count in a week when you earn Alphio Points yourself — you ran an AI trading task or made a qualifying trade that week.
That means your Alphio Points can grow from both:
- your own activity
- your network's activity
Referrals also earn a separate trading-fee commission paid in USDC — see Referral Program.
5. Official campaigns and community events
Alphio Points are not limited to trading and referrals.
From time to time, Alphio may run:
- seasonal campaigns
- leaderboard or competition events
- launch incentives
- ecosystem partnerships
- community growth programs
These activities can also distribute Alphio Points, especially when Alphio wants to reward early participation, adoption of new features, or strategic user behavior.
6. Alphio Points are not Credits
Alphio Points and Credits are separate currencies and don't convert into each other:
| Alphio Points | Credits | |
|---|---|---|
| What they're for | A reward balance that accumulates from your activity | The spending currency for Alphio AI features |
| How you get them | Distributed weekly from a shared pool, based on your activity | Your plan's monthly allowance, top-ups, and reward grants |
| Can you spend them today? | No | Yes |
There is no redemption today. Alphio Points accumulate in your balance — you can't currently exchange them for Credits, subscription perks, cash, or tokens. Treat the balance as a record of your activity; any future use will be announced separately, and nothing on this page is a commitment to a particular one.
7. The dual-reward advantage of trading through Alphio
One of the most important user benefits is that trading through Alphio can create dual reward exposure.
When you use Alphio for trading, you may be eligible for:
- Alphio-side rewards and platform benefits
- exchange- or venue-side campaigns, incentives, and exclusive benefits
That means the same trading activity can potentially unlock value from both Alphio and the underlying exchange or venue.
This is a major advantage of using Alphio as the execution layer: you are not only trading, you are also stacking reward opportunities across multiple layers of the ecosystem.
8. How to think about Alphio Points
The best way to think about Alphio Points is:
- a reward for real platform usage
- a growth incentive for bringing new users
- a balance that accrues now, with no redemption available today
All point sources — your own activity and trading, referrals, and official campaigns — contribute to the same balance. Exact earning rules can change over time; the Alphio Points page in the app is always the current source of truth.
