# Defi Staking Rewards

> ### Why a reward-based economy is key to resurrecting DeFi - [*https://crypto.news/defis-need-for-rewarding-users-a-path-to-sustainable-growth/*](https://crypto.news/defis-need-for-rewarding-users-a-path-to-sustainable-growth/) <a href="#why-a-reward-based-economy-is-key-to-resurrecting-defi" id="why-a-reward-based-economy-is-key-to-resurrecting-defi"></a>

## **Reward Pools**

$EMCO tokens are the staple of the rewards system and distribution of value within the EMCO Network. Users and Stakers are rewarded with $EMCO tokens for their interactions and engagement within Engagement protocols.

$EMCO Tokens in the rewards pool will be used with the Engagement model to provide $EMCO rewards to those participating in the program, the dashboard will allow for an api connection with several platforms such as social media, analytic platforms, email and CRM software, etc. It will then provide unique tasks for users to engage and interact with. Users will need to have a compatible wallet in order to receive their reward of $EMCO which they can then stake or sell.&#x20;

Users can also stake their $EMCO tokens to earn a return via various DeFi pools. The amount they receive will be based on various factors including the differing length of staking, difference between value staked and other active conditions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://emco-network.gitbook.io/emco-network/enerd-ai-powered-rewards/defi-staking-rewards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
