Description
Multipliers boost your Buck Point earning rate. They do not stack — the highest applicable multiplier is used.
Hold Duration Multiplier
Activity Multipliers
Multipliers don't stack. If you're an LP with 30+ days of holding, you get max(3x, 3x) = 3x, not 9x.

Points are non-monetary participation indicators used within the Buck ecosystem. They are designed to recognize and reflect a user’s level of activity, engagement, and contribution (for example, forum participation, holding Buck Tokens, or involvement in community initiatives). Points are non-transferable, have no monetary value, and do not confer any legal, ownership, governance, or financial rights in or over any Buck-related entity.
Any references to potential future features are illustrative only and do not constitute a roadmap, promise, or commitment. Users should not acquire Buck Tokens or seek to accumulate points in anticipation of, or reliance upon, any future distributions, upgrades, or additional rights.
