# Rewards for reports and participation

**Protect the ecosystem. Get rewarded.**

One of the fundamental pillars of NOVA AI is that **Web3 security cannot be centralized**. Therefore, we encourage active community participation to detect, report, and mitigate real threats—and we do so clearly: **those who help protect, also win**.

The rewards system is designed to recognize and compensate users in $NOVA who:

* Report scams, malicious contracts, or dangerous wallets
* Validate or correct other users' reports
* Help train the AI ​​model with useful feedback
* Participate in improving the ecosystem (testing, support, technical or educational contributions)

#### System Objectives

* Incentivize early threat detection
* Build a decentralized and dynamic database
* Increase the accuracy of the AI ​​Assistant and Virus Radar
* Reward useful, non-speculative collaboration

#### How does it work?

1. **Report or contribution**: The user performs a useful action (e.g., report a scam, validate a risk, suggest improvements).
2. **Automatic + human validation**: The system analyzes whether the report is valid, original, and relevant. This may include AI and community moderation.
3. **Point or Token Allocation**: A proportional reward is assigned based on the impact of the contribution.
4. **Reputation History**: Each wallet accumulates reputation, allowing access to better rewards or special features in the future.
5. **Distribution**: $NOVA is distributed weekly or monthly from a public reward pool.

#### Types of Actions that Receive Rewards

| Action                                 | Reward Type               |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Report a validated scam contract       | $NOVA (fixed or variable) |
| Validate or reject third-party report  | Reputation + $NOVA        |
| Participate in betas or active testing | $NOVA + early access      |
| Discover new scam patterns             | Special rewards           |

#### Security Rules

* Rewards are **not guaranteed** and depend on the quality and validity of the contribution.
* Duplicate reports, false positives, or spam will not be rewarded.
* Users who abuse the system will be penalized with loss of reputation and access to future features.

#### Why does this matter?

* Creates an ecosystem of **collective intelligence**
* Replaces closed blacklists with open collaboration
* Transforms each user into an active part of the defense system
* Revalues ​​the $NOVA token as a useful, not speculative, tool
