# 8.3 Reward Distribution Mechanisms

Beyond direct job payments, the platform incentivizes broader participation.

* **Model Testing Rewards:** Users who run Roborus AI models locally earn tokens when tests are validated.
* **Compute Sharing:** Community members providing compute power for simulations or validations are compensated.
* **Robot Renting:** Owners renting out robotic capacity earn passive rewards.
* **Tiered Rewards:** Different contribution levels (light vs heavy compute, small vs large robots) scale payouts proportionally.
