01 / SECOND LAYER
One page. A world behind it.
Text, photos, experiences, comments and stars: in the Second Layer, your perspective stays connected to the website. Others can discover it later, respond and add fresh perspectives.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION COUNTS
Your ideas move you forward.
From level 0 to 20: earn experience points with your account by sharing posts, photos, videos or links, commenting, reviewing and joining conversations. See your progress on your profile.
Each level brings a bigger challenge. Your online ring gains new colours, turning gold at level 20. The ring still only shows your online status when you are visible.
Level 0 0 XPLevel 5 1,800 XPLevel 10 19,000 XPLevel 15 125,000 XPLevel 20 750,000 XP
Level 20, “Community Legend”, is a long-term achievement: 750,000 XP. There is no daily limit for real community activity. Simply staying online does not count. Documented team work earns comparable points. Taking a break costs nothing; levels do not grant administrative powers.

Every level-up is celebrated the next time you open IconCU. If you wish, a congratulations email is sent to your verified address. Reduced-motion settings keep celebrations calm. Your achievements and points stay with you across all devices.
Your account gives you website chats, groups and your own posts from the start. Additional feature restrictions by level group are currently switched off. Experience reflects your participation; it never grants administration rights.
The web app remains free to use without registration. Only signed-in members earn experience points.
Your levels. Your achievements.
Every level deserves a thank you: collect all earned titles on your profile, choose your favourite and see your progress. A dismissible celebration with confetti appears the next time you open the website or app. Reduced-motion preferences keep it calm.
More than a badge: from level 2, every two levels unlock another personal favourites collection. At level 3, create a profile showcase with one recommendation; levels 7, 11, 15 and 19 each add another slot. Choose whether your recommendations are private, visible to friends or public. All existing profile and favourites features remain available.
Each level brings a congratulations email to your verified sign-in address. Turn these emails off independently of release news under “Achievements & levels”.

A person replies. Their institution is clearly identified.
Create a personal account or an individual representative account for a business, publisher, embassy or another institution. Each additional team member uses a separate invited account.
Posts, comments and chat messages display a colored institution label alongside the person. Self-declared and verified affiliations remain distinguishable. This label is independent of the XP level.
Second Layers are public spaces for people. An institutional affiliation gives a business no special control over posts, reviews or the community of its website.
Start free today
During the launch phase, company and institutional accounts are free. The prepared monthly fee is based on the number of employees: 1 euro per person, up to 10,000 euros.
