# RootNetwork Protocol

The RootNetwork Reward Protocol plays a pivotal role in our privacy-focused network. Designed to acknowledge the valuable contributions of relay operators within our decentralized framework, the Protocol facilitates the distribution of RootNetwork tokens. Operators can privately register their relay using their ETH address and automatically receive rewards without needing further action.

Relay operators are then able to track their network contributions through decentralized metrics published on a blockchain platform like Polygon. They will earn RootNetwork recognition rewards based on these metrics. RootNetwork tokens are issued on the chosen blockchain, anchored by secured tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. Operators have the option to transfer their earnings to their ETH wallet as needed.
