XP & Leveling

At Soulbound TV, we believe that streaming should be more than just a passive experience. The current models used by major platforms rely on surface-level metrics — views, followers, and engagement rates — without truly capturing the depth of audience interaction. But what if the value of a viewer wasn’t just in a number, but in the quality of their participation?
This is where our XP (Experience Points) system comes in.
We’ve been hard at work developing an XP system that transforms the way both streamers and viewers engage with content. Partnering closely with our product and ecosystem designers, we’ve engineered a levelling system reminiscent of modern RPGs — where progression unlocks real rewards, and effort translates into tangible benefits. This isn’t just a cosmetic system; it directly affects SBX earning rates and payouts, platform upgrades, and a user’s experience of the ecosystem.
Our XP system is a living, breathing entity — complex and dynamic, designed to evolve with data from live testing. We’re running simulations now to fine-tune progression curves and ensure that the effort-to-reward ratio feels both achievable and competitive.
Unlike traditional platforms where only streamers benefit from engagement, Soulbound TV ensures that both creators and audiences are rewarded. Every action a viewer takes — moderating a chat, interacting with others, reacting, participating in predictions and bets — earns them XP. Audience members even earn for simply tuning in to a channel. In turn, streamers who cultivate highly engaged audiences (instead of passive lurkers or bot farms) will earn more themselves.
Why? Because the quality of a viewer matters.
For example, having 10 level-1, non-interactive viewers watching a stream is far less valuable than having a single engadged level-25 viewer. The latter actively participates, enhances the community experience, and creates an ecosystem where engagement is rewarded at every level. This means streamers who attract high-quality, interactive audiences will earn XP at a faster rate, leading to higher SBX payouts and unlocking more opportunities.
Current platforms allow infinite bots and passive viewers to skew engagement metrics. X Spaces, for example, can be inflated with fake accounts that simply add numbers to a stream without real engagement. Soulbound TV changes the game by placing value on the depth of participation.
A highly active audience isn’t just a number — it’s an asset. A viewer who contributes to a stream, joins discussions, and actively participates is far more beneficial than a silent watcher. That’s why we’ve built our XP system to reward participation, making streaming a two-way experience rather than a one-sided broadcast. We’re building more open forums and less grandstanding soapboxes.
We’re also introducing real-time gamification elements to enhance the experience further:
Live XP Counters : Both streamers and viewers can see their XP gains in real time as they engage with content. Know what your time is worth!
XP-Driven Rewards: Users will have a choice in how they are rewarded after earning XP and levelling up, selecting which platform upgrades, exclusive features, or customizations they unlock.
Progression-Based SBX Payouts — As viewers level up, they increase their value to the streamers they watch, directly impacting how much SBX a creator can earn.
The XP system is just one piece of our broader vision to make Soulbound TV the leading decentralized, community-driven streaming and content platform. We’re not just rethinking how streamers get rewarded — we’re redefining the entire ecosystem of audience engagement.
With a levelling system that rewards effort, XP-driven rewards, and a structure that values meaningful interactions over inflated numbers, we’re pushing content creation into a new era of gamified participation.
