# 11.5 Community Rewards

Participation in governance isn’t just about voting—it’s about shaping the ecosystem and being rewarded for it.

Reward models include:

* Incentives for high-impact voters (on-chain participation points)
* Bounties for proposal research, data modeling, and ecosystem feedback
* Reputation scoring based on consistency and contribution quality
* Airdrops or exclusive access to new features for DAO contributors
* Governance-based access tiers within Telegram Bot and Web App

This turns governance into more than obligation—it becomes **collaborative ownership**.
