# Active Energy

> The non-transferable offchain participation unit used across the RocX ecosystem.

Active Energy, or AE, is a non-transferable offchain participation unit used to record and support eligible participation across RocX.

AE has no fixed cash value, cannot be transferred, cannot be immediately converted to a token, and has no fixed conversion rate to ROCX.

<Info>
  Active Energy records and supports eligible participation. Reputation records long-term quality, trust, consistency, and contribution.
</Info>

## AE is not automatic

Registering a link, reaching Verified status, or receiving one Helpful evaluation does not create a fixed or immediate AE payment.

For PoA contribution, the recognition path is:

```text theme={null}
Link Registration → Verification → Evaluation → Contributor Ranking → Abuse Review → Final Ranking → AE Distribution
```

Only the top 100 eligible contributors receive the applicable round distribution from the PoA Rewards Pool. Actual AE depends on the pool balance and final ranking.

## AE and Reputation are different

AE is a usable ecosystem resource. Reputation is a non-transferable record of long-term quality and trust. Receiving more AE does not automatically produce higher Reputation, and Reputation does not represent a token balance or cash value.

See [Active Energy Economy](./active-energy-economy) for reserve accounting and Explore settlement.

<Warning>
  AE is not a token, legal tender, payment claim, yield, guaranteed token allocation, or guaranteed future benefit.
