XP & levels

How to earn XP

XP measures what you put into the community. Earn it by competing, learning and helping others — it raises your level and your place on the leaderboard.

How levels work

Your progress bar shows how far you are through your current level, not your total XP. Each level is bigger than the last — so a nearly-full total can still mean you've just started a new level.
