# Open-Source Contribution We will publish our repository and make it open-source, fostering open science, as we believe that the best innovations emerge through community collaboration. Whether you code, research, design, or simply have a passion for advancing science, there’s a place for you here. Jump in, build on BeeARD, question, and help shape the future of autonomous research discovery with us. To support open collaboration, **nearly half of all BeeARD IP tokens are allocated for ecosystem rewards**, recognizing contributions across **data, compute, and code**. Your efforts in advancing the project—whether through development, research, or infrastructure—can directly earn you BeeARD rewards within the ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
