# BioXP

## What is BioXP?

BioXP is a non-transferable points system designed to reward your contributions and engagement within the Bio Protocol ecosystem. Think of it as a measure of your reputation and activity—the more you participate, the more BioXP you accumulate.

## How to get BioXP?

There are two ways to earn BioXP:

1. Staking `BIO` (which generates `veBIO`)
2. Staking ecosystem assets such as IP Tokens, BioAgent tokens and BioDAO tokens

BioXP earned from staking `BIO` is distributed **automatically each day**, while BioXP from staking ecosystem assets must be **manually claimed each day** otherwise they expire the next day.

## How to use BioXP?

While BioXP itself is not a token and cannot be traded, it unlocks exclusive benefits and opportunities:

* **Priority Access**: Gain priority access to new project launches and exclusive events.
* **Enhanced Reputation**: A high BioXP score signals your commitment and expertise within the community.

## BioXP Issuance Equations

The number of BioXP you earn is calculated daily based on a combination of factors. While the exact formulas are subject to refinement through governance, the following principles guide the issuance for each category.

### 1. Staking BIO

Staking `BIO` is the most straightforward way to earn BioXP. The amount you earn is proportional to your `veBIO` balance, which is determined by both the amount of `BIO` you stake and the duration of your lock-up period. 

```
Daily BioXP = veBIO Balance × BIO Price (USD) × VE_BIO_MULTIPLIER

Where:
• veBIO Balance = Your locked BIO tokens (vote-escrowed)
• BIO Price (USD) = Current market price of BIO
• VE_BIO_MULTIPLIER = Fixed multiplier (NEVER decays)
```

### 2. Staking Bio Ecosystem Tokens

To incentivize support for the entire ecosystem, staking Bio ecosystem tokens like IP Tokens, BioAgent tokens, and BioDAO tokens yields a greater share of BioXP emissions than staking `BIO` alone. Stakers of newly launched ecosystem tokens receive higher XP multipliers in the token's first 60 days live post TGE, as detailed [here](https://docs.bio.xyz/bio/introduction/bio-protocol-v2/staking-and-vebio/bioxp#xp-multipliers-from-staking-new-ecosystem-tokens).

### 3. Completing Bounties

The protocol may offer BioXP for completing specific tasks or bounties that help the ecosystem, such as reviews of research hypotheses or explanatory content creation.
