Community members are not just spectators. They act as supply or demand nodes within the ecosystem.

Contributions such as mining, API consumption, and service suggestions are tracked via Trine Scores.

Role	Example Activities	Tracked Metrics
Compute Contributor	Runs GPU tasks	Uptime, throughput, reliability
Compute Consumer	Uses APIs, submits feedback	Payment volume, reviews
Technical Partner	Infrastructure tooling, monitoring tools	Code quality and adoption rate

ACP’s ecosystem design ensures that utility value and token circulation are tightly bound to real participation and compute output. This chapter underscores the project’s trajectory toward becoming a scalable digital infrastructure standard for AI workloads.
