# Mining & Staking Rewards

#### GPU Mining

GPU contributors are rewarded with $VOLT based on:

* Task success rate and throughput
* Availability and uptime
* GPU power tier (e.g. A100 vs 1080Ti)
* Reliability and reputation history

Voltriya uses a proof-of-service model that evaluates actual compute contributed, not just idle hardware.

#### Staking

Staking $VOLT unlocks:

* Passive income through protocol rewards
* Governance participation and proposal rights
* Priority access for job bidding and scheduling (future feature)

This two-sided incentive model balances security, decentralization, and real-world utility.
