Levels, emblems and badges
Five levels run from Member (0 XP) to Legend (10,000 XP), each raising your daily support cap and, from Champion up, cutting a promotion from 20 Hype to 15.
Your Circle level is a direct function of XP, and XP is credited in the same amount as Hype for everything you earn. Nothing spends XP, so your level only ever moves up.
The five levels
| Level | XP needed | Daily support cap | Promotion cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Member | 0 | 15 per day | 20 Hype |
| Supporter | 100 | 18 per day | 20 Hype |
| Champion | 500 | 22 per day | 15 Hype |
| Elite | 2,000 | 28 per day | 15 Hype |
| Legend | 10,000 | 40 per day | 15 Hype |
Two things change with level: how many supports you can give in a day, and what a promotion costs you. Everything else in Circle is the same at every level.
Each level has its own emblem artwork, and your avatar ring takes the colour of your current level wherever you appear in Circle: in chat, in the feed, on the leaderboard and on your member profile.
How XP accumulates
Every verified action pays XP equal to the Hype it pays, so the same earn table applies:
- Like 1, comment 3, share 5, doubled on your first ever verified support
- Daily drop +2, streak milestones +10, +50, +200
- Missions +5, +6, +15
- Referral +10, Spotlight Star +20
- Badge bonuses, where the badge carries one

Badges
Badges are one-time or repeatable achievements. They live on your member profile and on the Achievements page at /influencer/achievements, together with the ones you have not earned yet, shown as locked goals with their condition spelled out.
A sample of the circle badges and their Hype bonuses:
| Badge | How you earn it | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| First Support | Get your first support verified | 5 Hype |
| First Promotion | Promote your first post | 5 Hype |
| Half Century | Reach 50 verified supports | 10 Hype |
| Centurion | Reach 100 verified supports | 20 Hype |
| Support Machine | Reach 500 verified supports | 50 Hype |
| Comment Master | Get 100 comments verified | none |
| Triple Threat | Verified supports on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube | none |
| 7-Day Flame, 30-Day Flame, 100-Day Legend Flame | Keep a daily streak alive for 7, 30 or 100 days | none |
| Comeback | Lose a 7-day streak and build it back | 5 Hype |
| Founder | Be one of the first 100 Circle members, never issued again | none |
| Welcome Committee | Be one of the first 3 supporters of a new member’s first post | 5 Hype |
| First Responder | Be the first verified supporter of a post (repeatable) | none |
| Spotlight Star | Top supporter of the week across Circle (repeatable) | 20 Hype paid with the award |
| Niche Hero | Finish a week as your country’s top supporter (repeatable) | none |
There is a second family for circle life: Circle Founder (create your first circle), Good Company (join your first circle), Connector (active in three circles), Team Player and Backbone (10 and 50 supports on circle posts), Open Doors, Full House and Movement Maker (grow a circle you own to 10, 50 and 150 members), Word of Mouth (10 influencers join through your invite link), Wall of Fame (25 posts collected on your circle wall) and Circle Champion (finish a week as a circle’s top supporter).
Badges from the rest of Keepface, campaigns and profile milestones, sit on the same page and are not Circle-specific.
Showcasing
You can showcase up to 3 badges. Showcased badges sort first on your member profile at /influencer/circle/member/<id>, which other members reach from chat, the feed and the leaderboard.
Weekly awards
Once a week Circle hands out three repeatable awards: Niche Hero to the top supporter of each country, Spotlight Star to the top supporter across all of Circle (which also pays 20 Hype), and Circle Champion to the top supporter inside a circle. They are decided on verified supports given, the same measure the leaderboard uses.
Keepstar
Keepstar is Keepface’s invite-style talent program, reachable from Circle. The application opens when three things are true at once:
- You are at Champion level or above (500 XP)
- You have at least one connected social account
- Your profile has a name and an avatar
You then apply with a short motivation. Approved members get a named manager on their Keepstar page and the Keepstar badge. A strong profile helps here, see Build a profile that gets discovered.
Frequently asked questions
Can I lose a level if I stop supporting for a while?
No. XP only ever goes up, so levels and badges are permanent. Only your daily streak resets when you skip a day.
Do badges do anything, or are they decoration?
Both. Many circle badges pay a one-off Hype bonus when earned, and up to three of them can be showcased on your member profile.
How do I reach the next level faster?
XP is credited in the same amount as Hype, so comments (3) and shares (5) move you roughly three and five times faster than likes (1), and streak, mission and badge bonuses all count as XP too.
What is Keepstar?
A separate Keepface talent program you can apply to once you reach Champion level, have a connected social account and a complete profile (name and avatar).
