# Squads

{% hint style="info" %}
Squads are FlyPad’s community-driven bonus system that gamifies trading and yield
 participation.
{% endhint %}

As a user, you can either create or join squads.

**Squad activity is tracked as a collective and squads earn points based on trading
 volume.**

Your squad levels up, unlocking boost multipliers on points from 1-1.3x
 Squad owners recieve 10% of points earned by their squad and 0.05% of total
 trading volume done within that squad.

> FlyPad has curated the squad system to promote social trading and collaboration -
>  it creates passive rewards for squad owners and motivates the trenches to work
>  together rather than against each other which is at the centre of our ethos.
