# Diamonds

The **$PARTI Diamonds Program** is Particle Network’s **flagship user engagement initiative.**

There have been two seasons of this program:

1. **Season 0,** launched on **March 11, 2025**. Season 0 distributed **10,000,000 $PARTI Diamonds** among all participants, which included participants from Particle Network's community initiatives prior to UniversalX's launch.
2. **Season 1**, launched on **June 26, 2025**. This program marks a new beginning for UniversalX after the launch of its V3, an achievement that takes UniversalX to a new competitive tier.

## How can users earn $PARTI Diamonds on Season 1?

All users who trade on **UniversalX** will be eligible for rewards in Season 1. They can accrue Diamonds in the following ways:

1\. **Initial Allocation**

At the start of Season 1, users receive a **starting Level** and a number of **Diamonds** based on their UniversalX history during the gap between Season 0 and Season 1. This initial Diamond allocation is theirs to claim. \
\
Meanwhile, a user's starting Level determines:

* **Their Diamond Multiplier** (e.g. 1.2× at LV1). This will allow users with higher multipliers to accrue Diamonds faster.
* **Their Cash Reward Rate** (e.g. 10% at LV1), see [cash-rewards](https://docs.universalx.app/cash-rewards "mention").<br>

2\. **Earning Diamonds**

**Users can earn Diamonds by simply trading or completing tasks on the platform**. These tasks involve daily, weekly, and total trading challenges. Furthermore, these challenges are multi-tiered, so they will refresh once a user achieves them.

> 💡 Only **1/10th** of trading volume from **Top 500** and **Primary tokens** is counted toward a user's total volume. As such, this affects their Diamond rewards, and how fast they're able to earn Diamonds and multipliers.

Staking $PARTI tokens (once enabled) will also allow users to accrue Diamonds. Rewards scale based on the amount staked, allowing them to earn up to **250,000 Diamonds**.<br>

3. &#x20;**Levels**

As mentioned above, users are assigned a Level based on their performance between Seasons. They can then increase this Level by driving higher volume. As they level up, they will earn:

* Higher **Diamond multipliers.**
* An increase in their [**cash rewards**](https://docs.universalx.app/cash-rewards).

&#x20;To level up, users need to reach the following volume milestones:

| **Level** | **Diamond Multiplier** | **Cash Reward Rate** |
| --------- | ---------------------- | -------------------- |
| 1         | 1.2×                   | 10.00%               |
| 2         | 1.5×                   | 12.50%               |
| 3         | 2.0×                   | 15.00%               |
| 4         | 2.5×                   | 15.00%               |
| 5         | 3.0×                   | 17.50%               |
| 6         | 4.0x                   | 17.50%               |
| 7         | 4.5x                   | 20.00%               |
| 8         | 5.0x                   | 20.00%               |
| 9         | 5.0x                   | 20.00%               |
| 10        | 5.0×                   | 25.00%               |

4. **Inviting Friends**

Users can also earn Diamonds by inviting friends to trade on UniversalX.

* For every **4 Diamonds earned** by a **Tier-1 invitee**, a user will receive **1 Diamond**. This **does not apply upward** — there are no multi-level referral rewards.
