	Rewards can combine several complementary forms: direct cash payments, [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards\|Rewards]] (no guarantee*), which represent a conditional claim on future subscription revenue, and [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Karma-Tokens\|Karma tokens]], which can be exchanged for services within the WikiDeal ecosystem. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards\|Rewards]] for the full picture. For each call, a specific prize is attributed depending on the available funds, the importance, the urgency, and the complexity of the challenge. There may be multiple winners in a cycle, a main prize and a complementary prize, to recognise proposals that work well together. The Open Calls are designed to remain genuinely community-driven, with evaluation guided by public vote and independent expert review.
