# Earning Mechanism

Alliance Lite Node uses $ltWORK tokens to reward participants for their network contributions. The reward mechanism encourages users to maintain stable, high-quality connections and maximize their uptime to optimize their earnings.

### **Performance-Based Rewards**

Lite Node rewards are based on three main factors:

1. **Bandwidth Contribution**: The volume of idle bandwidth shared by the node.
2. **Network Stability**: The quality of the network connection, including minimal latency and high throughput.
3. **Node Uptime**: The duration for which the node remains online and active.

The more consistent and stable a node’s contribution, the higher the $ltWORK rewards it earns. This ensures fairness and encourages users to optimize their connectivity for maximum performance.
