# What is Create to Earn (C2E)?

Create to Earn (C2E) is the core philosophy of the CRT ecosystem. It represents a shift from passive consumption to active creation. In the C2E model, users earn rewards not by playing games or investing capital, but by creating meaningful narrative content. Every scenario submission, story refinement, and collaboration in the creative process is monetized. AI acts as a co-creator, adapting user input into production-ready formats. Once the content is realized in the media industry, profits are shared back with the original contributors, closing the loop of creativity, collaboration, and reward.
