# How it works

<mark style="color:purple;">**CordNode**</mark> is designed to reward users for connecting and verifying their Discord accounts in a secure and privacy-conscious way. Here’s how it works:

* <mark style="color:blue;">**Connect Your Discord:**</mark>&#x20;

Users link their Discord account to <mark style="color:purple;">**CordNode**</mark> using a secure OAuth integration. This allows <mark style="color:purple;">**CordNode**</mark> to verify your account age and basic profile details, nothing more.



* <mark style="color:orange;">**Account Age Rewards**</mark>

The older your Discord account, the higher your earning potential. CordNode’s reward algorithm uses your account age to calculate bonuses, incentivizing long-term and genuine community members.

* <mark style="color:green;">**Instant Multiplier**</mark>

Once connected, your account can unlock earning multipliers of up to 10x. These multipliers boost your rewards instantly, based on factors like account trustworthiness, engagement, and age.
