How Monad Testnet Score is Calculated: Complete Guide
Learn how the Monad Testnet wallet score is calculated, what factors contribute to your ranking, and how to optimize your on-chain activity for maximum points.
Understanding the Monad Testnet Score
The Monad Testnet wallet score is a comprehensive metric designed to evaluate your participation and activity on the Monad blockchain. This score helps users understand their engagement level and potentially positions them for future incentives or airdrops. In this article, we'll break down exactly how this score is calculated and what you can do to improve it.
Our proprietary scoring algorithm analyzes multiple dimensions of on-chain activity, with each component carefully weighted to reward genuine, consistent participation rather than one-time or artificial interactions. We've recently updated our scoring system to better reflect valuable community contributions and long-term engagement.
Score Components at a Glance
- Transaction Activity: 0.01 points per transaction (capped at 500 transactions)
- Consistency: Points for unique days, weeks, and months of activity
- Volume: Tiered points based on MON transaction volume
- Contract Interaction: Points for creating and interacting with contracts
- Special NFT Bonuses: Substantial points for holding specific NFTs
- Early User Bonus: 15 points for wallets active before February 26th, 2025
- Inactivity Penalty: Deduction for extended periods of inactivity
Detailed Breakdown of Score Components
1. Transaction Activity (Up to 5 Points)
Each transaction on the Monad Testnet earns you 0.01 points, encouraging regular blockchain usage. To prevent manipulation by wallets with excessive transactions, we cap this component at 500 transactions (5 points maximum).
| Transactions | Points Earned |
|---|---|
| 50 transactions | 0.5 points |
| 100 transactions | 1.0 points |
| 250 transactions | 2.5 points |
| 500+ transactions | 5.0 points (maximum) |
2. Consistency Metrics
Regular, consistent activity is valued more highly than sporadic bursts. Points are awarded based on the number of unique days, weeks, and months you've been active on the network:
- Unique Days: 0.1 points per unique day of activity
- Unique Weeks: 0.25 points per unique week of activity
- Unique Months: 0.5 points per unique month of activity
This means a wallet that has been active for 10 unique days (1.0 points), across 4 unique weeks (1.0 points), and 2 unique months (1.0 points) would earn a total of 3.0 points from consistency metrics.
3. Volume-Based Points (Up to 1 Point)
The total volume of MON transferred in your transactions contributes to your score, with a tiered system that rewards higher volumes:
- 10-100 MON: Up to 0.1 points (scaled linearly)
- 2100-200 MON: 0.1-0.2 points (scaled linearly)
- 3200-1000 MON: 0.2-1.0 points (scaled linearly)
- 41000+ MON: 1.0 points (maximum)
4. Contract Interaction Points
Creating and interacting with smart contracts demonstrates deeper engagement with the Monad ecosystem:
- Contract Creation: 0.025 points per contract created (capped at 20 contracts for a maximum of 0.5 points)
- Contract Interaction: 0.03 points per unique contract interacted with (capped at 30 contracts for a maximum of 0.9 points)
This rewards both developers who deploy contracts and users who engage with the Monad ecosystem's applications. Our updated scoring system now accurately counts total interaction counts rather than just unique contracts, providing a more comprehensive picture of your ecosystem engagement.
5. Special NFT Bonuses
Holding certain special NFTs can significantly boost your score with our newly updated bonus point values:
1 Million Nad NFT
Holding this special NFT adds a 5-point bonus to your score!
Monad Cipher SBT
Holding the Monad Games Cipher SBT adds 5 points to your total score.
6. Early User Bonus
We've added a significant bonus for early adopters who have been supporting the Monad ecosystem from the beginning:
If your wallet had its first transaction before February 26th, 2025, you'll receive a 5-point early user bonus.
Our improved wallet age calculation now uses the earlier timestamp between first outgoing transaction and first incoming transaction, ensuring accurate identification of early users using data from multiple sources.
7. Inactivity Penalty
To encourage ongoing participation, an inactivity penalty is applied if your wallet hasn't had any transactions for 5 or more days:
If your most recent transaction was 5 or more days ago, a 0.5 point penalty is applied to your total score.
This ensures that scores reflect current activity levels and encourages regular participation in the testnet.
Score Calculation Formula
The final score is calculated by combining all the components:
Score = TransactionPoints + ActivityPoints + VolumePoints + ContractPoints + NFTBonuses + EarlyUserBonus - InactivityPenalty
Where:
- TransactionPoints = min(totalTransactions, 500) * 0.01
- ActivityPoints = uniqueDays * 0.1 + uniqueWeeks * 0.25 + uniqueMonths * 0.5
- VolumePoints = calculated based on tiered volume system (max 1.0)
- ContractPoints = min(contractsCreated, 20) * 0.025 + min(contractsInteracted, 30) * 0.03
- NFTBonuses = (is1MillionNadHolder ? 5.0 : 0) + (isCipherSBTHolder ? 5.0 : 0)
- EarlyUserBonus = (firstTxBeforeFeb262025 ? 5.0 : 0)
- InactivityPenalty = daysSinceLastTx >= 5 ? 0.5 : 0
Strategies to Maximize Your Score
1. Be Consistent
Rather than doing many transactions in a single day, spread your activity across different days, weeks, and months to maximize consistency points.
2. Interact with Contracts
Engage with different dApps and smart contracts on Monad to earn contract interaction points. More interactions with each contract count!
3. Maintain Regular Activity
Avoid the inactivity penalty by making at least one transaction every 4 days.
4. Acquire Special NFTs
The 1 Million Nad NFT and Monad Cipher SBT provide valuable 5-point boosts each to your score.

Pro Tip
While high transaction counts contribute to your score, quality interactions like contract deployment and diverse contract usage often yield better results than simple transfers. Our updated calculation now properly accounts for all contract interactions.
