# Morpheus Contributors

The Morpheus is structured around four critical categories of contributors incentivized with [MOR token emissions.](/tokenomics/mor-emissions.md) This design is essential to ensuring the accessibility, decentralization and robust development.

By recognizing and rewarding **Capital Providers, Compute Providers, Code Providers, and Application Builders** efforts Morpheus creates a sustainable, decentralized environment that echoes the success of earlier blockchain projects like Bitcoin and Ethereum, where open competition for scarce digital tokens fostered long-term infrastructure development.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Capital Providers" %}
Are integral to the [Techno Capital Machine](/tokenomics/techno-capital-machine.md), offering yield-bearing capital that drives [Morpheus\` Protocol-Owned Liquidity](/tokenomics/protocol-owned-liquidity-pol.md). Their participation ensures that the network has the financial resources necessary to grow and sustain itself. They receive MOR tokens prorated to their yield-bearing capital contribution against the total deposited pool.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Compute Providers" %}
Offer the primary compute resources required for AI inference, a vital function for the network. Their decentralized contribution of compute, storage, and bandwidth ensures that the Morpheus network remains scalable and resilient. The Morpheus network pays compute providers only for compute actually provided through a competitive bid process.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Code Providers" %}
Are responsible for the ongoing development, upgrades, and innovation within the Morpheus codebase. By contributing to the evolution of the software they request "weights" – units of work that determine their share of MOR emissions, ensuring that contributions are fairly compensated.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="App Builders" %}
Are the creative force driving the adoption of Morpheus through the development of frontends, end-user applications, valuable smart agents, dashboards, tools, and other resources that serve the community’s needs. Their rewards are tied to user engagement, as users can stake their MOR tokens to support specific projects, creating a market-driven incentive for high-quality development.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Free market approach

Contributors operate in a competitive free market for providing the most value:

* **Capital Providers** compete to provide liquidity
* **Compute Providers** compete to supply compute power
* **Code Providers** compete to enhance the Morpheus open-source software
* **Builders** compete to deliver valuable smart agents, applications and solutions.

This decentralized, competitive environment ensures that Morpheus remains dynamic, innovative, and truly reflective of the community's needs.
