| average | if the comment contains some explanation giving at least one simple reason or example (also if referring to another comment asking for explanation or further detail) | 3 |
| high | if the comment contains detailed explanation giving at least two good reasons or examples | 6 |
| premium | if the comment answers the question or refers to another comment articulating multiple pros and cons | 9 |
| exraordinary | if the comment is a special contribution to the discussion e.g. by introducing an unique or controversial idea sparking further discussion, summing up previous statements in an extraordinarily comprehensive way, etc | 15 |

New Rules At A Glance
leaderboard runtime
The leaderboard duration will always be for one complete month (1st - 31st). Leaderboard updates may take up to a week. Payouts occur on the 20th of the following month via xio.app/claim
50 leaderboard positions
By simply creating multiple XIDs people, could have easily gamed the system and reached low leaderboard positions that still earn them credits / percentages on their holdings.
The leaderboard will be limited to 50 ranks earning additional percentages. (Before, we had 100.)
Even though we encourage all team members to actively engage in discussions on this forum and on #XIOfeedback posts, we will exclude core-citizens from the leaderboard.
5 tier system
The leaderboard will have five different tiers with different individual caps and bonus percentages. (See above).
15 minimum credits to become eligible
Before, it was possible to reach a leaderboard position by providing only one single comment in a whole month and earn 2.5% that month on your XIO holdings.
Now, we require a minimum of 15 credits to enter yield earning positions the leaderboard.
Up to $1,500 USD maximum individual earnings cap
The possible maximum amount a citizen can earn depends on their leaderboard position. While reducing the overall cost of the program, the potential maximum earnings for the top ranking citizens has been raised to $1,500 USD (see details in the table above).
The above described changes reduce the potential maximum monthly cost for the program from over $100,000 USD to around $22,000 USD.
250 XIO MTD Avg minimum holdings to participate
To participate citizens need a minimum of 250 XIO Month-To-Date Average ( “XIO” + “UniV2-XIO” + “FLASH-XIO”).

Core Citizens
We very much appreciate all core citizens’ mind mining activities – on this forum and across all social channels. To allow all other citizens to reach high ranks on the leaderboard all core citizens are excluded from this.
