# 7.1 Rewards and Incentives

As a Spicenet validator, you'll earn rewards for:

1. Successfully receiving and verifying transaction batches
2. Maintaining the network state accurately
3. Detecting fraud and producing fraud proofs when necessary

The exact reward structure is determined by the network's governance and may change over time.
