  • Complete challenges and bootcamps. Finishing platform challenges increases your Power Level.
  • Join higher commitment tiers. Higher membership levels include Power Level boosts and additional access.
  • Keep showing up. Power Level reflects ongoing contribution, so regular participation is more effective than occasional activity.
What is Power Level?

Power Level is a metric inside The Real World 2.0 that reflects your activity, consistency, and contribution. It is used as a signal of participation and affects access to rewards, chats, and platform features.

    • Hero’s Year: +22%.
    • Champion: +44%.
    • Council: +99%.

Difference between “Power Level” and “Power Points”

Power Points are the points you earn by completing the actions listed above. When you earn enough Power Points, you level up to the next Power Level.
