Levels

How levels work

Everything you do on Launchef earns XP. XP moves you up 10 levels, each a gem that grows with you, and levels never drop.

All 10 levels

Each gem grows: four corners, then six at Level 3, then eight from Level 5. Light sweeps across it from Level 3, and it glows from 6, brighter at 7, brightest at 10. Every $1 on a sponsored week earns 10 XP once that week starts, so each level also has a spend that reaches it on its own.

Good to know

Can I lose a level?
No. Once you reach a level it's yours, even if a comment or launch is deleted later.
Can I reach Legend without paying?
Yes. Launchef is free, and all XP counts the same, so launches, posts and upvotes take you all the way. Advertising is just the fastest way up.
What happens to my XP after a refund?
The XP from that payment comes off. Any level you already reached stays.
Why are there daily limits?
So real activity wins over clicking. Past a limit, more of the same that day earns nothing. Limits reset at midnight UTC.
How do streaks fit in?
A streak counts the days in a row you launch, post, comment or upvote. Your best run earns bonus XP at 16 milestones, from 7 to 350 days.
Who can see my level?
Everyone. Your gem shows next to your name in comments, posts and people lists, and on your profile.
