Nudj has two currencies. They look similar but serve different roles.

Points

Spendable. Members buy rewards with points in the Shop, unlock key-gated challenges, and spend them on other transactions.

XP

Progression. Feeds levels, loyalty tiers, and leaderboards. Cannot be spent — it only ever accumulates.
The UI refers to what used to be called “XP settings” as “Level settings” (#2242) — levels are derived from XP thresholds. The old standalone “XP settings” screen was restored under the new name (#648).

​
Level settings

Go to Gamification -> Level Settings to configure:
  • Level thresholds — XP required for each level.
  • Level names and icons — “Novice”, “Expert”, etc.
  • Bonus XP for leaderboards — additional XP awarded for leaderboard position.

​
Bonus XP default

Leaderboard rewards default bonus XP to 0 (#688) so rewards don’t accidentally inflate leaderboard scoring. Set it explicitly if you want bonus XP to fire.

​
Earning points / XP

Members earn through:
  • Challenge completion — distribution step on each challenge sets points/XP values.
  • Actions — some actions carry their own reward distribution.
  • Achievements — unlock rewards can include points/XP.
  • Games — score-to-currency conversion (see Games).
  • Admin adjustment — see below.

​
Admin adjustments

Managers and above can adjust a member’s balance directly (#1006): Users -> select member -> Adjust Points / XP Use cases:
  • Correct an earn bug.
  • Compensate for downtime.
  • Backfill after a data import.
  • Punish abuse (remove points).
Adjustments show up in the member’s transaction history. They’re not silent — members can see them in their own wallet activity.

​
Live balance updates

Member wallets refresh balance live when points/XP are earned (#625 fixed stale-balance bugs). If you see a stale balance in a live demo, refresh the member app — don’t wait for polling.

​
Deleting members

Deleting a member (#1006) removes:
  • Their profile and activity history.
  • Their points and XP balance.
  • Their reward wallet (unredeemed assets).
Deletions are permanent. Use the Archive user flow if you only want to hide without data loss.

Use points + XP on every reward. Points give members immediate spending power; XP builds long-term engagement. The split ratio is your economy’s most important dial.
