# Reward and Incentives

P2P node providers are the backbone of Neova’s decentralized cloud — and they’re rewarded in $NEOV for their contributions.

Rewards are based on:

* **Storage Contributed**: The more space you offer and used by the network, the more you earn.
* **Usage**: Frequently accessed data earns higher rewards.
* **Reliability**: Nodes with high uptime and fast retrievals are prioritized.\ <br>

This model ensures that providers are incentivized not just to join, but to optimize performance — powering a secure, scalable, and always-on decentralized network.

&#x20;*Effort in = Rewards out. The better your node, the higher your earnings.*
