Quick answer. Trading rewards on Blackboard live in Status. Fees shows your tier: more 30-day volume means lower Crypto and TradFi fees. Rewards holds XP, daily quests and prizes. Points tracks your share of each season's weekly pool. None of these are cash until a prize is claimed.
This guide explains each tab and what it does and doesn't give you.
What is Status on Blackboard?
Status is the home of your trading rewards. Open it from the side panel, or from My Page → Status.
It has three tabs:
- Rewards: XP, daily quests, achievements and prizes.
- Points: your seasonal Points, weekly breakdown and rank.
- Fees: your fee tier and the rates you pay.
Each one measures something different. A higher level does not lower your fees, and Points are not cash.
How do fee tiers work as trading rewards?
Your fee tier comes from your rolling 30-day trading volume. TradFi and Crypto count toward it, and Prediction counts when the Fees tab lists it.
The ladder runs Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Diamond → Legendary. Silver starts at $10.7M of 30-day volume, and Diamond at $1.07B.
On Crypto, the all-in fee falls from 0.065% taker and 0.025% maker at Bronze to 0.043% and 0.003% at Diamond. TradFi rates vary by market. Each order shows its own fee before you confirm.
Prediction is different. Blackboard's fee there is 1.00% taker and 0.50% maker at every tier. Polymarket may add its own market fee.
How do XP, levels and daily quests work?
XP moves you up levels. Quests are the steady way to earn it. They reset every day at 00:00 UTC.
- Check in: sign in and keep your streak.
- First trade of the day: make a qualifying trade or buy a qualifying TCG pack.
- Add a thesis: write why you hold an open position.
Some levels also need a fee-paying trade before they unlock. Achievements hold badges for eligible activity, and earned badges can show on your profile.
Certain levels come with a card pack reward. Press Claim pack, wait for review, then find it in TCG → Gifts.
How do seasonal Points work?
Points record your share of each week's pool during a season. The current season is the Milky Way season, ten weekly rounds that started on October 26.
The weekly pool is 125,000 Points: 80% for Trading and 20% for Retention. Trading follows your eligible activity. Retention follows your share of the week's activity score.
!Inside Status: Fees sets what you pay, Rewards tracks XP and prizes, Points tracks the season
A new week shows as Pending until it is Final. Your season rank counts only finalized Points. Points cannot be withdrawn, and they do not promise a token or any cash value.
How do you claim a competition prize?
Competition prizes are the one reward paid in cash. Open Rewards, find the prize, and check its amount and claim window.
When it says Ready to claim, press Claim … to Cash. Supported claims pay USDC on Arbitrum to your Cash wallet. Wait for Paid to Cash before you treat it as received.
Find open competitions under All promotions or See competitions. Read each one's entry rules first.
How do you check your Status on Blackboard?
- Open the side panel and press Status.
- In Fees, check your current tier and your qualifying volume.
- In Rewards, finish today's quests and claim anything ready.
- In Points, read this week's pending allocation and your rank.
A dash or a loading figure means unknown, not zero. Lower fees make every perp order cheaper, so the Fees tab is the one to watch.

FAQ
Do XP or Points lower my trading fees? No. Only your 30-day qualifying volume, or a recognized Lifetime Tier, sets your fee tier. XP and Points measure other things.
Can I withdraw Points? No. Points cannot be withdrawn or turned into cash on the Points page, and they do not guarantee a token allocation.
When do daily quests reset? Every day at 00:00 UTC, which is 09:00 in Korea and Japan.
Does a higher tier cut Prediction fees? No. Blackboard's Prediction fee is the same at every tier. A higher tier lowers eligible TradFi and Crypto fees only.
Where do level pack rewards go? After you claim and the team approves it, the pack arrives in TCG → Gifts. Opening it is a separate step.
