# Rules configuration
> These fields are common across all loyalty rules and define the general properties of a rule.
## Basic Details
* **Name & description**: Enter a unique name and a brief description for the rule.
* **Section**: Select where this rule will appear on the loyalty page.
* **Start & end time**: Select when the rule becomes active. It won't be shown before the start time. The end time is optional - if set, the rule will expire and disappear automatically.
* **Required rule**: Enable this to make the rule mandatory to complete before any other non-required rules can be completed.
* **Hide from UI**: Enable this to hide the rule from the loyalty page. Useful for background rewards or API-triggered flows.
## Contract Address Section
Only shown for rules that require it. Otherwise, these fields won’t appear.
* **Contract address**: Enter the smart contract address relevant to the rule you're creating, such as a token contract, collection contract or a contract tied to a specific event.
* **Network**: Select the blockchain network where the contract is deployed.
## Reward Section
### Type of Reward
Choose between Points, Multiplier, or Tokens as the reward mechanism for this rule.
1. **Reward**: Grants a fixed number of points when the rule is completed.
* **Points to reward**: Enter the amount and type of points the user will earn upon completing the rule.
2. **Multiplier Reward**: Multiply all future rewards the user earns from other rules.
* **Multiplier**: Enter the multiplier value applied to future rewards. This value must be greater than 1.
* **Currencies to apply**: Select which point types the multiplier will affect.
* **Apply multiplier to user’s existing balance**: Enable this to retroactively increase the user’s existing point balance based on the set multiplier.
3. **Tokens**: Pays an on-chain token (a custom ERC-20 or the chain native token) directly into the user’s wallet on completion. Requires the Pro plan and a funded relayer on a supported chain. Multipliers do not apply to token rewards. See [Token Rewards](/loyalty/token-rewards) for setup and requirements.
* **Update cadence**: Select how often we’ll validate user completion and update their balance.
* Immediately: Completion is checked as soon as the user performs the action (e.g. answering a quiz, clicking a link).
* Daily / Weekly / Monthly: Completion is checked at the end of each period and balances are updated if completed (e.g. Twitter follower rules).
* Note: Some rules have default cadences that can't be changed due to their logic.
* **User reward frequency**: Select how often a user can receive this reward.
* One time: The rule will disappear after the user completes it once.
* Daily / Weekly / Monthly: Users can complete the rule again in the next period.
* Daily resets at midnight UTC.
* Weekly resets at midnight on Monday.
* Monthly resets at midnight on the 1st of the month.
* Note: Some rules have default frequencies that can't be changed due to their logic.
