Node owners can earn action points by participating in certain action items, such as running a node for a minimum of 6 hours per day. This is called Proof of Action, which recognizes contribution and energy usage tied to a given blockchain. The points you earn determine the amount of GIVE Rewards you earn. This is determined as a % of the action points you earned vs the total number of action points earned by all participants during that distribution period.
This will not be a 1:1 exchange of action points to GIVE Rewards. As of now, you will only see the action points in your Rewards dashboard, which are not the same as GIVE Rewards. GIVE Rewards are coming soon, this is step one in the process of distribution.
