# Future Plans The system has been designed to support future enhancements while maintaining the core mint-burn functionality described in this documentation. Following are some ways to increase the functionality of CBTC: * **Node operator rewards:** As a validator securing CBTC, you'll earn additional rewards from minting activity * **Customer minting:** You can potentially mint CBTC on behalf of customers, earning Canton coin rewards to share with them * **Utility-based rewards:** Canton is shifting toward rewarding apps that create actual trading and financial activity, which should benefit CBTC holders --- # 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.
