Hi Community newcomers! 
In this topic, we’ll look at our Kudos Rewards Scheme, a way for us to identify and reward the most active and high-performing members of our Community.
Accessing the Kudos Board
There are two ways to access the Kudos Board , you can click on the link at the top of the header …
… or navigate to the hamburger menu and click on ‘Kudos Leaderboard’.
How it works
1. Kudos scoring criteria
The Board awards ‘Kudos’ based on your continuous interactions within the Community. A list of these interactions and the amount of Kudos awarded are as below:
| Interaction / Event | Amount of Kudos awarded |
|---|---|
| Daily visits | 1 |
| Flag accepted | 10 |
| Post created | 2 |
| Post read | 1 |
| Topic created | 5 |
| Solution accepted | 40 |
| User invites accepted | 10 |
| Time read | 1 |
| Likes received | 1 |
Kudos are updated every 5 minutes for events of the day, and the board would re-calculate Kudos from the last 10 days once daily.
2. Special actions that award Kudos
You can also earn extra Kudos by completing any of the actions below. Please send @albert.vu a personal message to inform our team that you’ve completed said actions so that we could update your Kudos! 
| Actions | Kudos Awarded |

Please allow our team up to a week so that we can work with our Product team to grant you the Katalon licenses.
4. How to exchange your rewards
To exchange Kudos for gifts, you’ll just need to fill out this form. We will send you a confirmation message of your gifts and deducted Kudos.
After exchanging your Kudos for the rewards specified above, we will proceed to deduce the corresponding Kudos amount from your profile. It may take from 10 minutes up to 24 hours for your actual Kudos amount to be refected on your profile.
5. Notes
If you redeem the KRE (Katalon Runtime Engine), KSE (Katalon Studio Enterprise), or TestCloud, you are bound to each tool’s respective license policy and support policy.
