# Rewards

>  

**Rewards** in Sage Protocol are transparently calculated token incentives, granted directly to users for authentic, blockchain-verified social activities. Using the Proof of Social Contribution (PoSC) model, Sage measures, validates, and fairly rewards meaningful user contributions throughout the ecosystem.

### Key Features of Rewards:

<Card title="Transparent Reward Calculation">
  Rewards are transparently calculated based on three clear criteria:

  * **Transaction Fees:** The USD-equivalent value of the transaction fee paid for the action.
  * **Market Price of \$TRUST:** The real-time market price of \$TRUST tokens.
  * **Action Weighting:** Numeric weights explicitly set by Sage and embedded directly in code.\
    *(Note: Action weights are currently fixed, with dynamic real-time adjustments planned for future releases.)*
</Card>

<Card title="Action Weighting Model">
  * Every eligible social action—creating content, liking, commenting, forming connections, or engaging in communities—has a predefined numeric weight.
  * Clearly differentiates and incentivizes user activities based on their relative contribution to the ecosystem.
</Card>

<Card title="Incremental Engagement Rewards">
  * Content creators earn additional rewards from subsequent interactions (likes, shares, comments) on their content.
  * Users who engage with content also earn proportional rewards.
  * Encourages sustained, authentic community involvement and continued engagement.
</Card>

<Card title="Minting Rights for $TRUST">
  * Users are granted the right to mint exactly the number of \$TRUST tokens calculated by the PoSC logic.
  * Tokens are actively claimed and minted by users, aligning rewards directly with genuine economic contributions.
</Card>

<Card title="Economic Sustainability and Transparency">
  * Rewards are directly linked to measurable economic actions (transaction fees), aligning incentives with genuine user effort.
  * Naturally deters spam and superficial actions, promoting long-term sustainability.
  * Built-in anti-gaming measures (adaptive transaction fee scaling, verifiable user actions) reinforce the integrity of the reward system.
