# 5. Points System

The Points System is the core of the **Apps Network**, allowing users to earn and spend points for advertising activities.

## Checking Your Points Balance

To view your current points balance:

1. Log into your **Apps Network** account.
2. Click on your wallet address or profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Select "My Profile" from the dropdown menu.
4. On the My Profile Page, you'll see your Points balance displayed prominently.

## Understanding Points

* Points are earned when visitors interact with tasks displayed on your offer wall (as a Publisher).
* Points are spent when users interact with your task displayed on other websites (as an Advertiser).
* The current balance reflects the difference between points earned and spent.
* A balance of 0 pts means you've either not earned any points yet or have spent all earned points.

## Importance of Points Balance

Your points balance is crucial for your advertising campaigns:

1. Active Campaigns: Your ads will only be displayed across the network as tasks if you have available points.
2. Campaign Reach: The more points you have, the more your ads can be shown, potentially increasing your reach.
3. Continuous Engagement: To keep your ads running, you need to maintain a positive points balance by consistently earning points as a Publisher.

Remember, the **Apps Network** system is designed to create a balanced ecosystem where users participate both as Publishers and Advertisers. Regularly check your points balance to ensure your campaigns remain active.

## Future Development

In future versions of the **Apps Network**, points will be represented as TON Jettons, which are blockchain tokens on the TON network. This transition will further decentralize the system and provide additional functionality.
