# Driving Participation

$GRAY is designed to incentivize active participation in the Gradient ecosystem. The platform’s economic model is designed with the intention of rewarding those who contribute (e.g. by providing liquidity) with fee-based rewards.<br>

* Market Makers platform-wide are rewarded with a share of Flash Layer fees, incentivizing the provision of capital required to make off-market transactions instant & seamless.

These are distributed through a structured system with the intention of rewarding contributors for the activity they enable.
