# Missions & XP

## Missions: how to earn XP

Missions are certain predefined tasks you can complete to help amplify the reach and success of Cronos.

* Once you are a verified Cronos Ambassador, you will get access to Missions in the Ambassador Discord channels.
* Missions are grouped per contribution track (see [Contribution Tracks](https://docs.cronos.org/ambassadors/contribution-tracks) section) - Advocacy & Education, Growth & Activation, Community Building, User Support, and Localization.
* By completing Missions and **providing 'Proof of Work'**, you become eligible to earn XP.
* Each Mission earns you a certain amount of XP, which all go towards your total XP needed to go up in Rank.

## Moving up in Rank

The Cronos Ambassador Program is designed as a **seasonal journey of growth and leadership.** Each season runs for **3 months**, at the end of which ambassadors may be promoted (or demoted) to the next rank.  Promotion and demotion are relative and dynamic, based on cohort performance, not absolute thresholds.

### Promotion Timing

* Promotions are only evaluated at the end of each season (every 3 months).
* Ambassadors can only move up one rank per season, regardless of total XP earned.
* Example: even if am Ambassador earns 1,000 XP, they can only be promoted to Envoy in that season.

### Promotion Evaluation Factors

* XP threshold (minimum eligibility requirement)
* Quality of contribution (approval rates, impact, brand alignment)
* Track diversity (multi-track participation)
* Peer evaluation (community recognition, collaboration)

#### XP threshold

* Each rank has a minimum XP threshold that must be reached within the season to be considered for promotion.
* XP reflect both the effort and impact of missions completed.
* Seasonal Reset: At the start of every new season, the XP leaderboard resets to zero for all ambassadors, ensuring a fair playing field.

| 🏆 Elite → 🧭 Council    | 1,500                                  |

#### Peer Evaluations

* At the end of every season, peer evaluations are conducted.
* Ambassadors review one another’s contributions, collaboration and community spirit.
* These evaluations are combined with XP to ensure promotions reward not only output, but also character, reliability and teamwork.
