# Custom Reward

Its functions are **similar to Simple** option, but with the added flexibility to issue **rewards in a different token**. This means users can **stake Token A and receive Token B** as a reward. This variant is particularly useful for projects that want to **distribute governance tokens, incentivize liquidity, or introduce strategic token distributions**.

## Use Cases

### Blockchain Loyalty & Brand Engagement

A **Web3 brand** allows users to **stake $COMMUNITY** tokens and earn **$ENGAGE**, which can be used to redeem NFT collectibles, event tickets, or even governance perks.

Users can **stake the project’s main token** and receive rewards in a **branded loyalty token** that grants access to exclusive perks. This avoids issues that many blockchain projects and Web3 brands struggle with. They mostly lack to **retain long-term engagement** from their community members.

### Tokenized Advertising Rewards for DeFi & Web3 Platforms

A **Web3 ad network** enables users to stake **$WEBADS** and receive **$ADREV**, which is tied to platform ad revenues and can be exchanged for discounts or premium services.

Fans can **stake tokens to support their favorite creators** and receive **exclusive access tokens or fan rewards** in return. This avoids that Web3 creators have to struggle to monetize their communities while relying on centralized platforms.

### Staking for Real-World Asset (RWA)

A **real estate-backed token for ($RPROP)** allows holders to stake and earn **$RENT**, which represents rental income from tokenized properties.

Investors can stake **real-world asset tokens** and earn **stablecoin-based yield** or other financial instruments. This is an innovative approach for utilizing tokenized assets (e.g., real estate, commodities). These assets often struggle with liquidity and long-term investor retention.

### Fan-Based Staking Rewards

A **Web3 music label** allows users to stake **$SONG** tokens and earn **$PASS**, which can be redeemed for concert tickets, meet-and-greets, or VIP event access. 

This way fans can **stake music or entertainment project tokens** and earn **concert or event passes as rewards**. This is a fantastic way to connect the traditional music industry with modern and innovative blockchain technology. You've never seen that kind of **exclusive fan engagement** without relying on traditional ticketing models.
