# How Players earn

MemeArena is designed to reward everyone who engages with the platform—whether you're a player, streamer, or project owner. By integrating Play-to-Earn (P2E) mechanics with cross-chain support, MemeArena provides a transparent and fair reward system. Here’s how it all works:

Players can earn meme tokens through participation in matches and tournaments, with rewards linked directly to performance.

1. **Entry Fees:**
   * Players pay an entry fee in meme tokens (e.g., $TUBBI, $SOL, or $ETH) to join a match or tournament. These tokens form the prize pool.
2. **Prize Pools:**
   * The total entry fees from all players create the prize pool. The prize is awarded to the winning team or player based on match results.
3. **Rewards:**
   * Winning Team/Player: Receives the majority of the prize pool.
   * In-Game Achievements: Players can earn additional rewards for completing specific in-game challenges or reaching milestones.
