# Council Stipend

Initially, $ILV payments to Council Members are made by the Illuvium DAO for 3 month intervals within a Council Epoch. If a Council Member is removed by a Vote of No Confidence, that council member receives no outstanding pay. Replacement members will receive $ILV rewards proportional to their time in the Council after issuing their voting NFT.
