# DriveMining Rewards

#### Description

DriveMining offers the possibility to generate additional income by **driving** vehicles and **validating** the creation of blocks from Data Collecting machines.

#### Token Unlock

Monthly Token Unlock: 87,500 EDAT 

#### Considerations

DriveMining Rewards aim for a **€400 monthly income**.

In order to fulfill this requirement, each DriveMiner must work:\
\- 20 hours per day\
\- 24 days per month\
\
That's a total of **480 hours** in 1 month (per Drive Miner).\
The reward for DriveMining 1 hours is **0.83 EDAT**.

On the other hand, DriveMining includes an applied Price Ratio for inflationary control.\
\- EDAT Sales Price: will always be € 1.00\
\- Current EDAT Price: determined by market
