## Sentry Node Rewards

There are multiple ways to get rewards while contributing to Gradient’s decentralized compute infrastructure. 

You can:

* **Get Uptime Rewards by staying online. (to be phased out soon)**
* **Get Tap Rewards for making successful "Taps".**
  * Taps are peer-to-peer connections established periodically between two random, arbitrary Sentry Nodes to verify their connectivity.
  * The success rate of Taps depends on a range of network factors, such as your NAT type.
* **Get** [**Referral Bonuses**](/user-products/sentry-node-open-beta-concluded/sentry-nodes-user-guide-legacy/rewards-concluded/referral-bonus.md) **with your referrals;**
* [**Boost** ](/user-products/sentry-node-open-beta-concluded/sentry-nodes-user-guide-legacy/rewards-concluded/account-boosts.md)**your rewards by completing achievements.**

## Seasons

Seasons represent distinct periods of reward distribution. New seasons will be introduced alongside future milestones.

Reward schedules may vary between seasons, and points are non-fungible across seasons.

The current Season is [**Season 1**](/user-products/sentry-node-open-beta-concluded/sentry-nodes-user-guide-legacy/rewards-concluded/seasons/season-1.md).

## Community Guidelines

Gradient Network encourages genuine participation that supports the platform's growth in the long term. We are actively taking actions against Sybil and other harmful behaviors.
