# Welcome to $RENO – the Renovation.Reviews community currency

**$RENO** is the reward currency for this community. The premise is simple: every helpful thing you do here – posting, reviewing, helping, reading, showing up – earns $RENO. That score puts you on the [global leaderboard](https://home.renovation.reviews/leaderboard/1), unlocks tier upgrades, awards titles, and (eventually) qualifies you for real-world reward drops.

The little widget in the bottom-right corner of every page tracks your progress in real time. This page is your one-stop guide to how it works.

## How $RENO is earned

Your balance is tracked automatically by the gamification engine. The headline rules:

- **Posting** – replies and topics earn $RENO. Bigger thoughtful posts earn more.
- **Likes received** – when others find your post helpful, you earn.
- **Likes given** – spreading recognition earns you a smaller amount too.
- **Daily visits + reading** – consistency is rewarded.
- **Trust Level promotions** – TL2, TL3, TL4 each unlock big bonuses.
- **Leaderboard placement** – Top 100 / Top 10 / Podium each unlock exclusive titles.

Open the **$RENO** tab in the widget to see your live balance and tier.

## How titles are awarded (and how exploit-proof it is)

The widget catalogs many quests as in-flight progress. Stat-based titles like the ones above are **always** backed by a Discourse badge:

- Discourse runs a SQL query against authoritative server tables (`user_stats`, `gamification_scores`) on a periodic schedule.
- The moment your real stats cross the threshold, the badge is granted automatically.
- Once granted, the title appears in your **[profile preferences](https://home.renovation.reviews/my/preferences/account)** → **Title** dropdown for you to select.

**Security model:**

- The widget showing “you earned the title” is informational. The actual title selector only shows titles whose backing badge has been granted by the server.
- Manipulating browser state (devtools, localStorage edits, cookie spoofing) cannot grant a badge – the grant query reads only server-side stats.
- Latency: Discourse’s badge processor runs periodically (typically hourly). If you just crossed a threshold, the title may take up to an hour to appear in your selector.
- Other widget achievements (charity quests, completionist counters, streak tiers) live in localStorage as personal trophies but do _not_ grant titles – they’re outside the verifiable surface and are kept honest by being non-economic.

## Tips & tricks

- **Quality \> quantity.** Long, helpful, well-formatted posts attract likes. Likes received are worth more than likes given.
- **Stack milestones.** A single well-rounded month of activity (post + topic + like + read + visit) cracks open multiple categories at once.
- **Run streaks.** Streak quests scale fast and award some of the highest-value titles. A 100-day streak alone is worth 25,000 $RENO.
- **Read widely, not just deeply.** _Voyager_ and _Reader_ count different things – diversity of topics opened vs. depth of reading time.
- **Trust Level matters.** Hitting TL3 (_Regular_) and TL4 (_Leader_) each unlock 4-figure $RENO drops and exclusive titles.
- **Watch the leaderboard.** The top 10 and top 3 awards are exponentially valuable. Even cracking Top 100 unlocks the _Top Tier_ title.

## Linking your Solana wallet (optional)

In the future, $RENO may be airdropped to wallet addresses. To get on the airdrop list, head to **[your profile preferences](https://home.renovation.reviews/my/preferences/profile)** and fill in the **Solana Wallet** field. It’s optional – your forum score doesn’t depend on it. Linking it also auto-completes the _Set Wallet_ onboarding quest worth 500 $RENO.
