# Network Earnings

Openledger’s testnet rewards system incentivizes active node participation, encouraging consistent engagement and contribution to the network. Here’s how you can maximize your earnings and stay eligible:

### Eligibility

To start earning points on the Openledger network:

• You must run at least one beat on your node. A beat signifies active participation and connectivity to the testnet.

### Claim Rewards Daily

By clicking on claim everyday, you could able to earn extra 50 testnet points everyday.

### Earning Rate

Here’s a table summarizing the earning potential for active nodes based on their uptime over different time intervals:

| Time Interval    | Earning Rate             | Maximum Points      |
| ---------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------- |
| 1 Hour           | 1 Point/ 5 min           | 12 Points / hour    |
| 1 Day            | 24 \* 12 Points/ hour    | 288 Points / day    |
| 1 Month(30 days) | 288 points/day × 30 days | 8640 Points / month |

Additional Note:

Nodes must remain active for at least five minutes for one heartbeat to start earning. Ensuring continuous uptime and activity is key to achieving maximum rewards in each time interval.

### Key Details to Remember

1\. Maximize Activity: Ensure your node stays online and actively participates in the network to reach the hourly cap.

2\. Network Uptime is Critical: Downtime or uninstalled nodes will result in point loss.

### Disclaimer

*• Testnet Points Are Not Tokens (Yet): These testnet points are not a 1:1 conversion for tokens or any other cryptocurrency at this stage. Their value is currently limited to the testnet environment.*

*• Conversion Announcement: A conversion mechanism to tokens will be announced during the mainnet launch. Stay tuned for further updates.*

*• Uninstalling Nodes: If you uninstall your node at any point, all accumulated points will be lost. Ensure continued node operation to maintain eligibility for rewards.*<br>

By adhering to the guidelines and keeping your node active, you’ll maximize your network earnings and set the stage for future benefits as Openledger transitions to mainnet. 🚀
