# Self-Sustaining Earnings The problems many metaverses and play-to-earn protocols faces is the lack of sustainability plans. Unlike traditional Web2 metaverses MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) where everything can be made out of thin air, Web3 metaverses requires a comprehensive economic model to keep the economy from falling apart. Web3 metaverses and play-to-earn protocols usually attract users to use their protocol by providing ways for users to earn. However, in most cases the earning part comes from the project's liquidity pool which are usually built from capitals from the users themselves. To continuously provide monetary gains, the protocol has to continuously find new capital to pay out to the old users, thus creating a never-ending ponzi scheme cycle. Nakamoto Games has always have sustainability as the forefront focus with the unique approach on the [Gaming Reward System](/play-to-earn-games/gaming-reward-system.md) which tackles the liquidity pool problem faced by majority of play-to-earn protocols. Now, Nakamoto Games has taken another step further, allowing for players to sustainably earn rewards with the release of Nakaverse. ## Earning with NAKAVERSE

Every Nakaverse roles will be able to earn using the Nakamoto Games gaming portal

To earn using the Nakaverse, all the Nakaverse users ([The Economy](/nakaverse/the-economy.md#the-landlords), [The Economy](/nakaverse/the-economy.md#the-entrepreneurs), [The Economy](/nakaverse/the-economy.md#the-employees)) needs to create [Gaming Reward System](/play-to-earn-games/gaming-reward-system.md#in-game-assets) from raw minerals mined from the Nakaverse [Lands](/nakaverse/lands.md).

Both earning path encourages the gamers to play more on the platform, thus creating more earning opportunities for play-to-earn gamers as the rooms gets filled more often. Although it may seem like Nakaverse in-game asset productions may harm the Nakamoto Games ecosystem as it distributes out rewards more than what it receives, but in reality, the rewards being distributed are not coming from the protocol itself. ## Sustainable Reward Distribution
