# 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
