# Roles

There are three key roles: **Writer**, **Curator**, and **Moderator**. As a contributor, you can unlock all these roles by meeting the requirements and start earning.

Each role has unique ways to earn CURE while providing a value to the platform.

### Writer

Writers earn by providing valuable content to Cyrator. You can either share a link with your expert opinion or summary, or write your own original posts.

### Curator

Curators earn by upvoting valuable and factually correct content. They ensure the source is safe, reputable, free from misinformation, and not promoting paid content.

### Moderator

Moderators are the experienced veterans of the platform. They oversee everything, ensuring the quality of both the content and the community, keeping everything running smoothly and up to standard.
