# What are Time Points? Time Points (t.p.) are the proof of the time and attention you have spent participating on the t2 network. They are not a token. When you read articles on t2, you earn Time Points based on the amount of time you’ve spent. Finishing a 10-minute read article will earn you 10 points, for example. Gather enough Time Points and you can earn badges and unlock other functions and features. Time Points are a great way to recognise your learning and discover new things. They also serve as your reputation points. It forms an important part of your identity and helps build your persona, unlocks social features, and allows you to be recognized within the t2 community. Time Points are non-transferable. To view your total accumulated Time Points, just visit your user profile page. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
