It is a token that you earn by posting, commenting and voting using Ecency.com or app. I have been holding POINTS for over a year, so it's not terribly new. You can use it on Ecency for giving tips, boosting to receive a vote from Ecency and sponsoring a post to pin it in Ecency's feed. You have received POINTS each time you have won a Shadow Contest so you must have a few. Go to Ecency.com and look in your POINTS wallet!
