# Eco Partner Tokenomics

Eco partners around the globe manufacture and distribute edge nodes for OORT Edge. [Learn more about eco partners](https://docs.oortech.com/edge/eco-partners).

### Collateral

Eco partners are required to deposit **50 OORT per each device** which will be returned after the serving period (360 days). 

This is to encourage eco partners to be more accountable and provide high-quality customer services for OORT miners.

### Penalties

Edge device owners are encouraged to appeal to the Foundation whenever an eco partner fails to deliver quality devices or services. 

If the appeal is successful, the eco partner’s collateral with respect to the edge devices will be deducted as penalties.

### Rewards

Eco partners receive a 5% mining reward share of each device.
