What are Collective Rewards?

The Collective Rewards program is not just a reward mechanism; it is the cornerstone of a novel self-sustaining, decentralized ecosystem. 

By ensuring value capture and reward sharing between Builders and Backers, the Collective Rewards incentivize engagement, innovation, and fair competition, driving the decentralization and growth of the Rootstock ecosystem.

How do Collective Rewards work?

Collective Rewards stands out as a program designed to empower contributors:

  • Builders get rewarded for increasing activity and value creation in the Rootstock ecosystem.
  • Backers stake RIF to support impactful projects and earn a share of rewards for driving the network’s growth.

This transparent, community-led program strengthens Rootstock’s position as the top choice for developers while enabling anyone to participate in building Bitcoin’s Layer 2 future.
