You need your active key to do any financial transactions on Hive

but those points are not tradeable?

They can be used as 'currency' within Ecency and traded for Hive in the form of boosts. I assume that is the correct response to your question. @good-karma?

thank you :)

For new accounts, POINTS can also be used to purchase RC. (resource credits)

Points have few utilities/use cases right now, we are working to increase those use cases and creating HE and SMT token that's 1:1 is in pipeline as well.

That is VERY exciting and makes me want to get busy earning more POINTS! Thanks for responding. ❤️

very interesting! :)
to what do you refer the 1:1 ? certainly not the trade ratio?

I am referring to Points having 1:1 ratio to our ECEN token.
