# Distributed Network (Destra Net)

Destra Net serves as the foundational backbone of Destra's ecosystem, embodying the essence of true decentralization. It is a distributed network designed to harness the collective power of individual users' computing resources, creating a robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure.

Within Destra Net, participants can become part of the network by running nodes. By doing so, they contribute their computer's processing power, storage capacity, GPU power or bandwidth, effectively decentralizing the network's computational and storage capabilities. This democratized approach ensures that the network is not reliant on any single entity or centralized data centers, thereby enhancing its resilience and security.

Users who contribute their resources are rewarded for their participation, creating a fair and incentivized ecosystem. These rewards are distributed in the form of Destra's native tokens, aligning contributors' interests with the health and growth of the network.

On the flip side, consumers who require access to these distributed resources can tap into the network, utilizing the available computational power, storage, or bandwidth for their needs. Whether it's for hosting decentralized applications (dApps), executing complex computations, or storing data, consumers can leverage the network's capabilities on demand. In return, they compensate the network's contributors with tokens, ensuring a balanced and sustainable ecosystem.

Destra Net's model not only fosters a community-driven network but also addresses some of the inefficiencies and centralization issues plaguing traditional cloud services and computing platforms. By enabling anyone to contribute and consume resources in a transparent, secure, and decentralized manner, Destra Net is paving the way for a new era of distributed computing and Web3 infrastructure.
