Recently, a small detail that many people haven't noticed—many exchanges are optimizing their leaderboard ranking mechanisms. Taking a major exchange as an example, the latest approach is to replace the original influence-based overall ranking with a points system. If you want to stand out on the leaderboard, you now have to rely on points.

How are points calculated? Every day, your points are based on three factors: the number of content posts you publish on the leaderboard, user engagement heat, and related trading volume. Specifically, a single project’s trading can earn you 25 reward points, and each leaderboard can accumulate up to 340 points per day. The more points you gather, the higher your ranking naturally becomes—this straightforward logic encourages content quality and trading conversion rates.

For creators, this means that simply posting content is not enough; you need to find ways to make your content attractive and attract genuine trading activity to secure a spot on the leaderboard.
