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! :)

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