# Worker Reward

The Worker Reward mechanism is an integral part of the Pictor Network. It is designed to incentivize and compensate Workers for their contributions to the network’s computing tasks. 

### Reward Structure

Worker rewards are issued in the form of $**PICTOR (PICTOR tokens)**. Therefore, Workers are required to add a compatible crypto wallet upon registering GPU nodes to receive their rewards. The reward system is structured to ensure fair and consistent compensation for the computing jobs completed by Workers.

* **Total Reward Allocation: X% of Total Tokens**

A total of X% of the tokens on the Pictor Network are allocated specifically for Worker rewards. These tokens are unlocked linearly over an X-month period. 

* **Daily Reward Calculation: X% Commission**

Worker rewards are calculated as X% of the payments for the rendering/upscaling jobs they complete. This commission is calculated daily and distributed accordingly.

### Reward Distribution Process

To ensure accuracy and fairness in compensation, the reward distribution process involves the following steps:

1. **Job Completion**: Workers complete the computing jobs assigned to them. The completed outputs are then submitted back to the Pictor Network for verification.
2. **Creator Confirmation**: The Creator reviews the outputs and confirms whether the outputs meet the expected quality and accuracy requirements. In case of any inaccuracies, the ***Proof of User Confirmation*** mechanism allows the Creator to request re-rendering/re-upscaling of specific jobs.
3. **Smart Contract Activation**: After the Creator confirms the correct outputs, a pre-signed smart contract comes into effect. This smart contract was established during the Job assignment phase.
4. **Reward Distribution**: The smart contract handles the automatic distribution of rewards, equivalent to X**%** of the job payments, to the Workers. This distribution is managed by the smart contract, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the reward process.
