# Points

> The status of a points program, and the standard this documentation holds it to before anything is published here.

<Note>
  There is **no points program**. No points are accruing, no balance exists to check, and no activity on the [private testnet](/protocol/architecture/network-status) is being counted toward one.
</Note>

## Why this page exists saying nothing

A points program that is neither announced nor denied is a strong incentive for people to trade in the hope that it is being counted. That gap is worth closing explicitly, in the place someone would look.

If a points program launches, it will be announced in the [protocol changelog](/protocol/roadmap/changelog) and documented here before it starts accruing — not backdated, and not revealed after a period of activity it was silently measuring.

## What would be published before any accrual begins

* **What counts**, precisely enough to be computed independently rather than trusted
* **What does not count**, including wash trading and how it is detected
* **The accrual window**, and whether it is retroactive to a stated date
* **Where a balance is readable**, and whether it is chain state or a service's record

The last one is the one worth watching. Everything the protocol charges — [fees](/programs/fees), tiers, rebates — is chain state derived from committed blocks, and can be recomputed by anyone from public data. A points balance that lives only in a database is a different kind of object, and it should be labelled as one rather than presented alongside numbers that are verifiable.
