# Who Earns Tokens

See [Reward Eligibility](/leaderboard-and-rewards/eligibility.md) for the complete policy.

The TL;DR for the project token specifically:

## Three Paths to Earning the token

| Path       | What you do              | What you earn                                                                 |
| ---------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PvP**    | Win PvP matches          | SOL winnings + weekly the token prize-pool distributions (top players by ELO) |
| **Market** | Buy any market item      | Unlocks all your achievement the token claims (capital qualifies you forever) |
| **Hold**   | Hold the token in wallet | Weekly holder buyback distributions (post-launch)                             |

## What You DO NOT Earn tokens From

* ❌ Solo Snake play (cosmetic badges only)
* ❌ Logging in daily (no streaks, no daily quests)
* ❌ Adding friends (cosmetic achievement only)
* ❌ Sending chat messages (cosmetic achievement only)
* ❌ Referring others (no referral program)
* ❌ Just signing up (no "claim your first 100 tokens" airdrop)

This is intentional. Every reward mechanism known to attract farmers is intentionally absent.
