# Rewards
## Game Rewards
Dragobits offers two types of rewards for players: shared rewards that are distributed across all active players in the arena, and direct rewards earned from winning battles against other players. This dual reward system incentivizes both participation and strategic gameplay.
Game Rewards
### Shared Rewards
Shared rewards are sourced from the reward pool, which is funded by various player fees within the game. This pool operates in a fully decentralized manner, with no revenue directed to any company or external entity. All contributions to the pool are dedicated exclusively to player rewards.
While players have Dragobits in the arena, they accumulate rewards from the pool. For instance, if 10 players are in the arena and 0.1 ETH is added to the reward pool during that time, each player would be allocated 0.01 ETH. Shared rewards are distributed in ETH or the native gas token of the chain (or shard) on which the game is running.
### Direct Rewards
Direct rewards are earned by defeating another player in battle, whether on offense or defense. When a Dragobit wins a battle, it seizes all ETH from the vault of the defeated Dragobit, as well as 90% of its ERC-20 tokens. The defeated Dragobit is burned, and the remaining 10% of its tokens stay locked in the vault, effectively becoming inaccessible (an indirect burn of the ERC-20 token).
### Claiming Rewards
Rewards aren’t immediately sent to players but are assigned to the vault of the victorious Dragobit. The only way to claim these rewards is to exit the arena and then burn the Dragobit to access its vault. While in the arena, a Dragobit’s vault is vulnerable to attack, meaning its accumulated rewards are at risk. Once outside the arena, however, the vault is safe (with the exception of inherent smart contract risks), though it will no longer accumulate additional rewards.
