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.

| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| 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.
