Activity points (GHXP) and seasons

Two different things happen in parallel while the GamerHash AI App is running.

• AI jobs pay you. When a job runs on your GPU, your earnings balance goes up in GUSD, counted 1:1 with the US dollar inside the platform. GUSD is an internal earnings balance — not a token, not a stablecoin. See Earning model.
• The app collects points. Every minute the app is running, you accrue GHXP (GamerHash Experience Points). Points are not money — once a month you can commit them to the season’s GHX pool.

​

Activity points (GHXP)

GHXP is a points balance tied to your GamerHash account. You collect it for the time the app spends running — including hours when there is no work in the queue for your machine.

​

How points accrue

• Every minute the app is running.
• Points show up as Pending during the current hour and are credited to your account at the top of each hour. Closing the app before the hour completes drops that hour’s pending points.
• Running in the background counts — the app does not need to be in the foreground.
• Quiet hours count too — points keep accruing even when no job arrives.

​

GHX Boost: points accrue faster

Holding GHX raises your account level, and your account level is what sets how fast GHXP accrues. The chain runs one way: GHX → level → faster points. Either place works, as long as it sits under the same GamerHash account that runs the app:

• GHX in MetaMask
• GHX in the GHX wallet built into the app

How it behaves:

• Balances in both wallets count together.
• There is a cap, so larger holders cannot dominate.
• Nothing is locked or staked — the GHX only has to sit in one of those wallets.

Holding GHX also unlocks the prompt booster on Text-to-Image inside the app — see Modules. The Boost pays in points, not in money. A completed AI job pays the same whether or not you hold GHX — the Boost only makes points arrive faster.

​

Account level comes from GHX, not from points

Your account level in the AI App is set by how much GHX you hold — not by how many activity points you have collected. Accruing GHXP does not move your level, and committing GHXP in a season does not move it either. Points are what the level acts on, never the other way round.

​

What GHXP is not

• Not a token. No contract address, no market price — they are reward-programme points.
• Not transferable. It is tied to your GamerHash account.
• Not tradeable. You can’t sell points or move them between accounts. They turn into GHX one way only: commit them in a season — committed points are burned, and you receive your share of the season’s GHX pool.
• Not an earnings balance. Work pays in GUSD; points do not add to that balance.
• Not a level. Level follows your GHX holdings, not your points.

​

Seasons

Seasons run monthly. Each season lasts one month, and seasons are running now. The GHX handed out each season is provided by GamerCoin under a cooperation arrangement — it is not funded from platform revenue.

​

How a season works

​

Getting the most out of your points

1. Leave the app running when the machine is idle. Points accrue per minute, and a pause mid-hour drops that hour’s pending points.
2. Points accrue faster at a higher account level — which means holding GHX, in MetaMask, in the in-app GHX wallet, or both. The two balances count together, up to the cap.
3. Commit your GHXP each season. Points you never commit earn no GHX. The ceiling is 80% of your saved GHXP, and whatever you hold back rolls over to later seasons.

​

Watch out for

• Closing the app mid-hour discards that hour’s pending points. Schedule restarts on the hour boundary, not in the middle of it.
• The 80% ceiling is per season. You cannot commit your entire balance — at most four fifths of it.
• A commitment is final, and committed points are burned. Once you confirm, you can’t change or cancel it; when the season ends, the committed GHXP is permanently removed in exchange for your share of GHX.
