# Rewards  (P2E Model)

### **Overview**

Pixotchi’s ETH reward system is powered entirely by the game’s onchain activity.\
A portion of the taxes collected from **$SEED buy/sell transactions** funds the global reward pool.\
This ensures rewards remain transparent, decentralized, and directly tied to player engagement.

***

### **How Rewards Accumulate**

1. **The game contract receives ETH** from SEED trading activity.
2. **This ETH accumulates in the global rewards pool.**
3. **Each active plant receives a proportional share** of the pool based on its **Score**.
   * Score is primarily driven by Plant Points (PTS).
   * Higher PTS → higher share of rewards.

Reward shares are calculated continuously and stored onchain.

### **Claiming Rewards**

Rewards are claimable only when a plant’s lifecycle ends.

To claim:

1. Go to **Account → Rewards** in the Pixotchi App
2. Select the plant
3. **Burn** the plant to finalize and withdraw its accumulated ETH

Burning the plant resets the lifecycle but secures all rewards earned.

### **Key Principles**

* Rewards are algorithmic and onchain
* Distributed based on **relative performance**, not absolute PTS
* No human intervention in calculations
* Fully transparent: all distributions are verifiable via smart contract
