An XP Instance at its core is an on-chain data structure that defines Actions(your point rules), and how they apply to Score Types. This data is on-chain and open allowing anyone to query and check a score of a particular wallet. This opens up the possibility for anyone to build loyalty/reputation/gating tools/protocols on top of this community-defined score system.
XP Instance
An instance is a single xp environment that belongs to a community. All scoreboards/scores are associated with their communit's XP Instance.
Scoreboard
Each wallet in an XP instance has its own scoreboard. This is where we store all scores for that particular wallet.
Score Type
Each instance can keep multiple scores stored for a single user, these Score Types are stored inside a particular user's Scoreboard.
Example: A Scoreboard may have multiple Score Types to track a user's "attribution", "Social Reputation", "Collector Reputation", "Bot Level Signal"
Score/Points
The units of measurement for a Score Type. A user is said to have <Points> of XP for a specific Score Type.
Example: John may have 200 XP of "Collector Reputation" in the Fly Frogs XP instance
Action
An action is what moves scores in either direction. An action contains two key components within it -> {amount: <XP>, direction:<UP/Down>}
Score Update
This is the process in which a score is updated in an XP instance. The score update consists of an Action that is applied to a user's Score Type on their Scoreboard.
