# Rewards and Penalties

### Rewards

Validators who successfully validate a block are rewarded with:

{% hint style="success" %}

1. A portion of the Transaction fees.
2. $GAME tokens, distributed from the tokenomics.
3. GameChain rewards coming from the games launched on the GameChain network.
   {% endhint %}

### Penalties

Validators found to be acting maliciously, such as attempting to approve fraudulent transactions or disrupting the network's operation, will face penalties including:

{% hint style="danger" %}

1. Slashing of a portion of their staked $GAME tokens.
2. Temporary exclusion from future validator selections.
   {% endhint %}

### Security Measures

To further ensure the network's security and reliability, the validation mechanism incorporates several additional measures, including:

* **Multi-Signature Validation:** Requiring multiple validators to agree on a block's validity before it is added to the blockchain.
* **Random Sampling:** Periodically reviewing blocks validated by nodes to ensure compliance with network rules.
