# What Is Active Energy?

> Understand the non-transferable offchain participation unit used by RocX.

Active Energy, or **AE**, is RocX's offchain, non-transferable participation unit.

## AE properties

* Recorded in an offchain ledger
* Non-transferable
* No fixed cash value
* No fixed conversion rate to ROCX
* Not a token
* Does not guarantee an airdrop, token allocation, payment, or financial return

AE can be recorded through approved Deposit AE, Attendance, finalized PoA Contributor Ranking, Explore results, and other explicitly approved rules. Not every activity automatically earns AE.

<Warning>
  AE does not become ROCX automatically and cannot be described as a 1:1 ROCX conversion.
</Warning>
