# Activity Rewards

We understand how challenging it can be to build online communities. That's why the majority of tokens from the MAIN Ecosystem Fund go towards **supporting** them. The **more coins** a community has and the **more evenly** these coins are distributed among their holders, the **more rewards** it can receive from the MAIN fund.

Each community's token reward forms a **pool** that is **shared** among its active members.

To **unlock** rewards in a specific community, you need to **purchase** its coins, no matter how many. The **more coins** you hold, the **greater the percentage** of daily rewards you can earn.

Some communities may also set **limits on the minimum number of coins** required to receive rewards in them. You can find these restrictions in the board rules or on the rewards banner.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Here are some tips for selecting a community to buy coins from:**

* Choose communities that genuinely **interest** you. This way, you can earn tokens through enjoyable activities.
* Consider the **value** of the community, its level of **decentralization** and its reward pool. The more expensive the community and the more evenly distributed its coins, the more rewards it distributes.
* Pay attention to whether the board is **disabled from rewards** (due to small capitalization or violations of the rules of the community). These boards do not have a reward banner or their monthly rewards are 0. On these boards, you will not be able to receive rewards until the board clears the violations.
* Account for the number of **active participants**. Popular boards usually have many participants, resulting in stiff competition for rewards, reducing the average rewards per member.
* Examine the boards' content and **rules** before purchasing their coins or posting to avoid undesired bans or content removal by moderators.
* Pay attention to the **moderation team** and **key coin holders**. As a general rule, the board is more stable if the team has a better reputation, and the coins are distributed more evenly among the participants.

Remember that when you buy coins, you **do not lose** your tokens (except for the commission for the purchase), but rather acquire board coins in exchange for them. You can always **sell** your coins back and even make a **profit** if the coin's price increases since your purchase.
{% endhint %}

Once you have bought some community coins, your **engagement** in the board (posting, commenting, and rating) will begin to generate rewards. The **more active** you are in the community, the **more rewards** you can earn from its pool.

You can track your activity on your coins page or the community-specific activity page.

To **increase** your rewards, you can:

* Be **more active** in the communities whose coins you own;
* Engage in the life of **multiple** communities and earn rewards in each of them;
* **Purchase** more coins in the communities you spend the most time in.
