Strength and phases

What is strength?

Network Strength

Phase 3 · Sapphire

On the way to phase 4

Your strength shows what you’ve built in Nodbase with people you actually meet. It isn’t a measure of trust or of your worth.

What you see

• Your phase and your bar: the phase is your level, from 1 to 9. When the bar is full, the next phase begins, with a new card.
• Your circles: who is closest to you right now, formed from your contact. See What counts for strength?.
• Your brain: every dot is a person from your network. With each phase it becomes deeper and more colorful.

You’ll find your strength in the Nodi tab under Strength, and in the list in the Network tab as the Network Strength tile. The brain is also available as a widget.

Optional and private

• Strength is off by default. You decide whether to turn it on. See Turn strength on or off.
• The app calculates it only on your device. Nothing goes to our servers for it. Exceptions: if you show a phase card on your profile, it goes out with your profile. And when you move up by inviting, our server notes that someone came through your link.
• Only you can see your strength.

What you’ve reached stays

Phases are a lasting achievement. Your phase and bar don’t go down, and phase cards you’ve reached stay yours.
