# Reputation Layer

> Long-term quality, trust, consistency, and contribution history in RocX.

Reputation is a non-transferable record of long-term quality, trust, consistency, and contribution inside RocX. It is not a Contributor Ranking total, AE balance, token, cash value, or financial credit score.

## Reputation signals

Reputation may reflect:

* number and quality of verified content activities;
* valid-link ratio and later deletion, privacy, or invalidation history;
* long-term consistency, repeated contribution, and demonstrated fields of expertise;
* eligible Community Evaluation and Contributor Ranking history;
* policy compliance and abuse-review history;
* supported DeFi and Explore participation; and
* changes in contribution quality over time.

No single signal automatically determines Reputation. An activity that earns AE does not automatically create the same Reputation outcome.

## Reputation is not AE or ranking

Active Energy is a usable, non-transferable offchain participation unit. Contributor Ranking measures eligible activity during one ranking round. Reputation provides longer-term context that may persist across rounds.

Holding more AE, depositing more capital, or receiving more raw Helpful signals does not by itself create higher Reputation.

## Reputation supports Activity Identity

Reputation adds long-term context to wallet activity, verified cross-platform contribution, eligible evaluation, AE history, policy compliance, and expertise inside [Activity Identity](./activity-identity).

The exact Reputation formula, decay, recovery, invalidation effect, and benefit rules remain subject to product specification and operating policy.

<Warning>
  Reputation is not legal identity proof, a professional certification, an investment rating, a financial credit score, or a transferable asset.
