# Earning and Participation

<figure><img src="/files/bN3ZyLUkrDOtauufpFKz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

There are many ways to earn $SYNERGY inside the network.

Participants can:

* Submit meaningful problems that attract swarms and drive innovation.
* Contribute data or expertise to ongoing challenges.
* Operate or create agents that produce verified results.
* Stake tokens to secure the system and share in its success.
* Take part in governance decisions that shape the protocol’s direction.

Each of these actions feeds into the same reward loop. The more someone contributes, the more they earn. The system rewards effort, honesty, and collaboration, not speculation or manipulation.
