# Cash Rewards

Every trade on UniversalX earns you real-time cash rewards. Cash rewards are settled immediately after each trade and are claimable in your **Diamonds dashboard**.

Your cash rewards are determined by:

* Your trading **Level.** Your starting level is determined by your activity in between [Diamonds](/diamonds.md) Season 0 and Season 1. To level up, trade on UniversalX!
* Your **eligibility for** [Universal Cabals](/universal-cabals.md)**-based bonuses.**

The more you trade, the higher your level and reward rate—and the more you'll earn.

Below is a breakdown of how both your **Level and Cabal bonuses** can improve your rewards.

### Levels

Your **Level** will increase based on your trading volume. Every level increase will result in an increase in cash rewards, as per below:

| Level | Cash Reward Rate                                |
| ----- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| 1     | 10.00% (default)                                |

### Universal Cabals Bonus

If you're an active participant in a **Universal Cabal**, your cash reward rate may be increased by up to **+5%** solely based on your group’s performance. Note that:

* Participants in top-ranked Cabals can be **boosted** even further, **up to 15%**, depending on their Cabal's ranking and their personal contribution.
* All Cabal bonuses are **added** on top of your standard tier.
* To qualify for Cabal bonuses, you must earn points for your Cabal during the present round. Users who only earned points in previous rounds will not qualify for these bonuses.

### Notes on Volume Calculation

Importantly, not all user volume is calculated equally. Note that:

* A user's volume includes both their **Buy** and **Sell** activity.
* Only **10%** of the volume generated by trading **Top 500 and Primary Tokens** is counted toward a user's level progression.
* Volume thresholds are cumulative and persistent across the platform.
