# The Ecosystem

How activity, rewards, and ownership connect.

## The ecosystem

Ceed creates a loop between real-world activity and onchain participation.

```
Users → Activity or purchases → Verification → Rewards → Onchain ownership
  ↑                                                                  ↓
  └───────────── $CEED ecosystem participation ────────────────────┘
```

### Participants

* **Users** discover opportunities, complete activity, and receive eligible rewards.
* **Partner brands** can create reward opportunities around real-world activity.
* **Verification** connects submitted proof with applicable program rules.
* **Rewards and ownership** link verified activity with the onchain ecosystem.
* **$**&#x43;EED is the planned native token for ecosystem participation.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://info.ceed.finance/the-ecosystem.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
