# Doppler Points

### Doppler Points Season 3 Overview

Doppler Points (DP) is an ecosystem participation program designed to recognize users who actively engage with Doppler Finance.

Building on Seasons 1 and 2, **Doppler Points Season 3** introduces a new way to accumulate points through XDP Staking, alongside existing Doppler Vault deposits.

During Season 3, users can earn DP based on the USD value of their eligible assets, with a **20× DP Boost applied to XDP Staking**.

### How to Earn Doppler Points

During Season 3, users accumulate Doppler Points based on the USD value of their eligible deposits and actively staked XDP.

The base earning rate is **0.01 DP per $1 of eligible USD value per hour**.

The following rates apply:

* **Doppler Vault Deposits:** 0.01 DP per $1 deposited per hour (1×).
* **XDP Staking:** 0.2 DP per $1 staked per hour (20×).

DP accrual is determined by the eligible USD value, participation duration, and applicable multiplier.

#### DP Calculation

Doppler Points are calculated using the following formula:

**Hourly DP = Eligible USD Value × 0.01 × DP Multiplier**

For example, assuming the USD value remains unchanged throughout the hour:

**For $100 in eligible Vault Deposits:**

* Base earning rate: 1×
* DP earned per hour: 1 DP
* DP earned over 24 hours: 24 DP

**For $100 in XDP Staking:**

* Staking multiplier: 20×
* DP earned per hour: 20 DP
* DP earned over 24 hours: 480 DP

The USD value of eligible assets may fluctuate over time, affecting the amount of DP accumulated.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**How Are Doppler Points Calculated?**

During Season 3, DP is calculated based on the USD value of eligible assets and the applicable multiplier.

The base earning rate is 0.01 DP per $1 per hour.

XDP Staking receives a 20× multiplier, increasing its earning rate to 0.2 DP per $1 per hour.

**Do I Need to Stake XDP to Earn DP?**

No. Users can earn DP through eligible Doppler Vault deposits without staking XDP.

However, the 20× DP Boost applies exclusively to XDP Staking.

**Does the 20× DP Boost Apply to All My Doppler Positions?**

No. The 20× multiplier applies only to eligible XDP staking positions.

Regular Vault deposits continue to earn DP at the standard Season 3 rate unless otherwise specified.

**Does XDP Continue Earning DP During the Withdrawal Waiting Period?**

No. Once an unstaking transaction is confirmed, the requested XDP is removed from the active staking position and stops earning DP.

The seven-day withdrawal waiting period does not qualify for DP accrual.

**Do Doppler Points Guarantee Future Token Rewards?**

No. Doppler Points are ecosystem participation points and do not represent a guaranteed entitlement to future token distributions or financial returns.

Any additional benefits or programs associated with Doppler Points will be announced separately through official Doppler channels.
