# Rewards & Programs

ZeroTick rewards what you do on the platform, not how much you hold. Completing tasks, trading, launching tokens, and referring people all earn rewards, and this area is where you track and claim them. These are loyalty benefits for using ZeroTick, not yield, profit sharing, or a promise of tokens. This page is the map: how rewards work, and where each program lives.

### How rewards work

ZeroTick rewards come in two forms.

* **Points** are earned by completing tasks and quests, across categories like onboarding, trading, launching, and referring. Points raise your rank and feed your Airdrop score. They are not money and cannot be withdrawn, and you can claim them now.
* **Reward balances** are separate USDC amounts that build up from your activity, such as commission from people you refer and revenue share from tokens you launch. They are tracked as you use ZeroTick but are not payable yet.

{% hint style="info" %}
Reward payouts are not live yet. You can claim points now and your activity is tracked, but no balance pays out today and no amount, payout, or timing is promised. Referral commission and creator rewards are the payouts planned to go live; the trader rebate (cashback) depends on the ZTCK token and will not be live.
