Rewards (CROPS)
Cropr rewards on-chain activity with CROPS - points you earn for using the platform across multiple chains and protocols. CROPS are organized into seasonal stages, surfaced on an anonymized leaderboard, and unlocked through a lightweight onboarding flow that protects the program against abuse.
How It Works
- Earn CROPS for swaps, staking, lending, borrowing, liquidity (AMM), and bridging - plus onboarding, social, and referral bonuses.
- Progress through stages (Sprout -> Ripening), each with a higher multiplier and its own share of the rewards pool.
- Climb the leaderboard - ranked by CROPS, shown under a stable pseudonym (your wallet address is never exposed).
- Collect badges for milestones like trying all action types or referring friends.
Eligibility & Onboarding
To start earning, complete a one-time onboarding that verifies you are a real, active user. All four checks must pass:
| Check | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Email verification | Confirm a 6-digit code sent to your email. Each email can only be linked to one wallet. |
| CAPTCHA | Pass a CAPTCHA challenge (Turnstile / hCaptcha / reCAPTCHA v3). |
| Minimum balance | Hold at least $1 total across supported chains (EVM + Solana). |
| Wallet age | Your wallet must have at least 7 days of on-chain history. |
When all four pass, you become eligible and automatically receive the 100 CROPS onboarding bonus.
Eligibility protects the rewards pool from sybil/abuse. Rewards are only granted while a wallet is eligible, and referral bonuses require both the referrer and the referred wallet to be eligible.
Earning CROPS
On-Chain Activity (Volume)
Every qualifying transaction of at least $20 earns CROPS based on its USD volume. Volume is rewarded in tiers - larger volume earns at a higher rate:
| Volume (per transaction) | Rate (Sprout stage) |
|---|---|
| $20 - $1,000 | 1.0x |
| $1,000 - $10,000 | 1.5x |
| $10,000 - $50,000 | 2.5x |
| $50,000+ | 4.0x |
Qualifying activities: Swap, Stake, Lend, Borrow, AMM (liquidity), Bridge.
Your volume CROPS are then boosted by two multipliers:
Diversity bonus - for using more distinct protocols within a stage:
| Protocols used | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.0x |
| 2 | 1.1x |
| 3 | 1.5x |
| 5 | 2.0x |
| 10+ | 3.0x |
Frequency bonus - for being active on more distinct days within a stage:
| Active days | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.0x |
| 5 | 1.1x |
| 10 | 1.25x |
| 20+ | 1.5x |
The full formula is: Volume CROPS = Marginal Volume CROPS x Stage Multiplier x Diversity x Frequency.
Bonuses
| Bonus | CROPS | How to earn |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | 100 | Complete the eligibility checks above |
| First interaction | 100 | First time you use each activity type (per stage) |
| Follow on X | 75 | Social follow action |
| Share your code | 100 | Publicly share your referral code (also earns the Voice badge) |
Referral Bonuses
Earn CROPS for each eligible wallet you refer. The rate scales with how many active referrals you have:
| Active referrals | CROPS per referral |
|---|---|
| 0 - 2 | 100 |
| 3 - 4 | 125 |
| 5 - 9 | 150 |
| 10+ | 200 |
When you cross a tier, your existing referral rewards in the current stage are retroactively bumped to the higher rate.
Stages
CROPS are earned across six sequential stages. Later stages apply a higher stage multiplier to all earnings, and each stage is allocated a share of the total rewards pool.
| Stage | Order | Pool Share | Stage Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprout | 1 | 30% | 1.0x |
| Seeding | 2 | 25% | 1.2x |
| Vegetating | 3 | 20% | 1.5x |
| Budding | 4 | 10% | 2.0x |
| Flowering | 5 | 10% | 2.5x |
| Ripening | 6 | 5% | 3.0x |
Only one stage is active at a time, defined by its start/end window.
Leaderboard
The leaderboard ranks users by CROPS and is public and anonymized - every entry shows a stable pseudonym (e.g. elegant-sword-quick-planet) derived from the wallet address, never the address itself.
- Current stage mode ranks earnings in the active stage.
- All-time mode sums CROPS across every stage.
- Weekly risers highlights the users who climbed the most ranks over the last 7 days.
If you pass your wallet address, the leaderboard response also returns your own rank and pseudonym.
Badges
Badges are lifetime achievements - once earned, they stay earned:
| Badge | Earned for |
|---|---|
| Sprouted | Completing onboarding (becoming eligible) |
| First Trade | Your first action on Cropr |
| Aggregator | Using 3+ action types |
