What a level gives you
- Auditable XP ledgerLive
Every credit is an append-only row carrying its source and reference, so a total can always be traced back to the actions that built it.
- Public rankLive
Your position on the community leaderboard, derived from lifetime XP on every view.
- Leaderboard opt-outLive
One toggle in your privacy settings removes your name and avatar from the board. You keep the XP and the rank; the row renders as a private member.
