# Incentivization Session Token enables the incentivization layer for the Session Network, with registered and active Session Nodes sharing a portion of rewards released from the Staking Reward Pool. Due to the nature of the Staking Reward Pool, incentivization of the network is dynamic. As the amount of tokens in the Staking Reward Pool increases, so too does the amount of Session Token rewards (and vice versa). Session Token rewards incentivize both additional operators/contributors participating in the network as well as promoting good behavior of existing nodes. As the Session Network is self-governing, bad behavior (such as failing to route traffic or store a message) results in lost rewards for the bad node. As all nodes require a time-locked collateral to participate in the network (see [Staking and Collateralization](/session-network/session-nodes/staking-and-collateralization.md)), bad nodes also risk destabilizing a network they are vested in. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.getsession.org/session-network/session-nodes/incentivization.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
