Community Points record your contributions, professional reputation measures your professional credibility, and your designer level grows automatically from reputation and real adoptions. Here is how they work.
AI credits, Community Points, professional reputation, and honors are four independent systems. They are not interchangeable.
Paid API usage quota used to run AI tools.
Rewards for effective community contributions, usable for low/zero-cost design tools and future community benefits.
A score of professional credibility, accumulated from strong signals such as adoptions and real collaborations.
Honors are public badges and achievements that highlight key contributions, milestones, and platform selections. Certification is a separate identity/qualification status and is not an honor.
A professional certification is an identity and qualification status showing that the profile passed platform review. It is not a designer level, is not an honor, and does not directly add professional reputation.
Points reward effective contributions and adoptions, not volume.

Reputation comes only from verifiable professional contributions; violations reduce it, and severe violations also trigger governance.

Likes, views, plain saves, check-ins, top-ups, and AI credit purchases never increase professional reputation.
Designer levels are computed automatically from professional reputation and real adoption records. No application needed; the displayed level always follows the system's decision.
The system automatically computes the highest level you currently qualify for; if a higher level's additional conditions are not yet met, the highest fully-qualified lower level is shown.
Levels are computed automatically by the system from reputation and adoption records. They cannot be applied for or purchased.
Points apply to low/zero-cost design tools and future community benefits. The tools page is the source of truth for availability and cost.
Points-supported tools will roll out progressively; the tools page is the source of truth for actual availability and cost.
AI & Design Tools →Benefits for active contributors are being planned.
A points mall and redemption are being planned.
Community Points cannot be bought, transferred, withdrawn, or exchanged for AI credits; they do not expire under current rules.
AI credits are paid API usage quota; Community Points are rewards for contributions. Points cannot be exchanged for AI credits, and payments never raise reputation.
Volume farming, self-adoption, and repeated meaningless content earn nothing; ineffective contributions and pure volume never create reputation. Effective contributions, adoptions, real optimizations, and real collaborations matter far more than likes, views, or upload counts.
Points and reputation rules are being enabled progressively for effective contributions; your account ledger is the source of truth for actual records.
