# XP, Badges & Profiles

Profiles make testnet activity visible across the app.

## Profile Pages

A profile can show:

* Display name and handle.
* Connected social identity.
* Creator markets.
* Trading activity.
* Followers and following.
* XP, badges, and rank.

## XP

XP tracks useful participation during the testnet. It may be awarded for actions such as onboarding, profile setup, social connection, creator activity, trading activity, and other testnet participation.

{% hint style="info" %}
XP is a testnet participation system. It does not change balances, trade execution, liquidation rules, or account permissions.
{% endhint %}

## Badges

Badges mark specific achievements or milestones. Examples may include early testnet participation, creator setup, social verification, or trading activity.

Badge definitions may change as the testnet evolves.

## Rank

Rank is derived from XP and activity. It appears in places such as the header, profile page, and creator page.

Rank is intended to make participation legible. It is not financial advice, a guarantee of creator quality, or a promise of future rewards.

## Progress Tab

Open `/profile?tab=progress` to review your current XP, rank, badges, and next progress milestone.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://perps.gitbook.io/perps./overview/xp-and-profiles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
