# Points

## How to get points

Points are given to those who use our protocol, participated in the testnet, or were holders of planted(staked) $MANGO tokens during the liquidation snapshot.

### Point Farming

Point farming will end when Coupon Finance releases the protocol token, $CPN. You can get points by contributing to the TVL.

#### Farming with Deposits

For every dollar's worth of assets deposited into Coupon Finance per hour, you earn one point. For instance, depositing 2 ETH for 24 hours, with ETH valued at $2000 at the time of deposit, nets you 96,000 points (calculated as 2 ETH \* $2000 \* 24 hours). Note: The asset price used for each position is set independently, and updates are triggered on withdrawal.

#### Farming by Borrowing

For every dollar's worth of assets used as collateral on Coupon Finance per hour, you earn one point. For instance, if you put up 2 ETH for 24 hours, with ETH valued at $2000 at the time of the loan, it nets you 96,000 points (calculated as 2 ETH \* $2000 \* 24 hours). It does not matter how much you borrow; it depends on the collateral size. Note: The asset price used for each position is set independently, and updates are triggered whenever the collateral size changes.

### Testnet Users

Those who have participated in the now-closed Testnet will receive 100,000 points. This is equivalent to depositing 100 USDC for 1000 hours.

### Planted MANGO Holders

Individuals holding planted $MANGO tokens at the time of the liquidation snapshot will receive points. The calculation is based on the $pMANGO balance divided by 10, discarding any remainder. You can find the snapshot balances [here](https://www.mangofarmers.club/balances.json). (Note: These balances are in raw format with 18 decimals. Divide by 10^18 to convert to a standard balance.)
