Points and Badges — How the Rewards System Works

A complete breakdown of how you earn points, what triggers bonus points, and all the badges you can unlock.

What are points?

Points are Fasting Pals' way of rewarding consistency and effort. Every fast you complete earns points based on how long you fasted, whether you reached key milestones, and whether you fasted with others. Points accumulate in your balance and are displayed on your profile and in the leaderboard. You start with a 200-point welcome bonus when you create your account.

How you earn points

The main ways to earn points are: 2.5 points per hour fasted (so a 16-hour fast earns 40 base points), 25 points for completing a fast (flat bonus on top of the hourly rate), 10 bonus points per buddy who also completes the same fast with you, 35 bonus points for reaching 16 hours (ketosis threshold), and 75 bonus points for reaching 24 hours (autophagy threshold). If you break a fast early you still earn the hourly points for the hours you completed — just no completion or milestone bonuses.

Public fast multiplier

Public fasts earn 1.5× points on your hourly rate, completion bonus, and milestone bonuses. This is the app's way of rewarding the extra accountability of fasting in public. If you are comfortable with it, making your fasts public is the fastest way to accumulate points.

Personal record bonus

If you complete a fast that is longer than any fast you have ever done before, you earn an extra 50 points as a personal record bonus. This only applies to genuine new records, not to repeating a duration you have done before.

Points in games

Points also work as currency in the multiplayer games available during group fasts. In the Dice Game (Cee-lo), players wager points against each other each round — the winner takes points from every other player. In Hangman and Trivia, correct answers earn points directly. This means games are both a way to pass fasting time and a way to either grow or lose your balance depending on how you play.

Badges you can earn

Badges are permanent achievements displayed on your profile. The badges available are: First Fast (complete your first fast), 5 Fasts, 25 Fasts, and 100 Fasts (consistency milestones), Ketosis Club (complete a 16h+ fast), Autophagy Club (complete a 24h+ fast), 7-Day Streak, 30-Day Streak, and 100-Day Streak (consecutive fasting days), Iron Fast (complete a 72-hour fast), Centurion (1,000 total hours fasted), 1,000 Points, and 5,000 Points (lifetime earnings milestones). Badges are awarded automatically — you do not need to claim them.
