# Leaderboards and Airdrop

### Leaderboards and the Airdrop Campaign

Leaderboards compare eligible players under the current campaign rules. Categories can include level, dishes cooked, Coins generated, TIPS and a combined Airdrop score. Available categories appear in the leaderboard window.

Rankings update periodically. Changes to your account do not always appear immediately, and another player's progress can change your rank even when your own totals stay the same.

### Combined score

The current formula combines four factors:

* Level.
* Dishes cooked.
* Coins generated by gameplay.
* Current in-game TIPS balance.

Your level is compared with the highest eligible player's level. Dishes cooked, Coins generated and TIPS use a logarithmic scale, which gives progressively smaller gains as totals grow. Each factor is compared with the highest eligible total, then the campaign's weights combine them into a score out of 1,000.

If every eligible player has zero in a category, that category contributes zero. Follow the weights and rules shown for the active campaign.

Coins generated is a production statistic, not the same thing as your spendable Coins balance. TIPS uses current balance: receiving TIPS, including proceeds from selling game resources, can raise that factor. Buying game resources, spending TIPS or reserving TIPS for an offer may reduce it when the rankings next update. Marketplace trade count and volume are not separate score factors.

### Campaign and rewards

The campaign's displayed dates, eligibility, active cycle and rewards determine the current ranking. A running ranking is not its final released result.

Rewards become available after the campaign's final results are announced. Check the reward panel for what you earned and how to claim it.

The Airdrop name describes a campaign and ranking. A score, rank or in-game reward does not itself create a right to a future crypto-asset allocation. Any proposed token distribution requires its own final rules, eligibility, legal disclosures and enabled delivery process.

The intended official launch target is January 2027. Follow the roadmap and official updates for approved timing changes. Do not treat the target as a guaranteed token generation date or guaranteed payout.
