# Core Ecosystem

Bounty Temple is built on a mutually beneficial core ecosystem of Sponsors, Managers, and Scholars. It is a three-way symbiotic cycle that benefits all parties.

<details>

<summary>Sponsors</summary>

Sponsors are individuals who do not want to invest time playing the game, preferring to pump in funds to Managers via the House of Pluto (HOP) system, who will then outsource the grind to Scholars. Sponsors will then enjoy the rewards earned in-game via profit-sharing, thus exerting little to no effort at all.

<details>

<summary>Managers</summary>

Managers are BTM owners who rent out BTMs to Scholars through the Rental System. They then take a share of the rewards farmed by the Scholars.

<details>

<summary>Scholars</summary>

Scholars are usually Bounty Temple players who do not own their own BTMs. Instead, they rent Scholar-owned BTMs from Managers to play the game. The rewards that they earn from playing the game will then be shared with the Manager and Scholar.
