# 💸 Validator Rewards

**QIE V3** is built to reward good behavior and penalize bad actors — ensuring fairness and network health.

* ✅ **Daily, transparent rewards** are provided to active and honest validators for their role in securing the network.
* ⚠️ **Penalties**, such as slashing and jailing, are enforced for downtime or protocol violations.

This balanced system ensures the QIE network remains **secure**, **reliable**, and **decentralized**, with clear incentives for consistent validator performance.
