# Roles & Reputation

Pulse AP is a network where everyone plays a role, and every role earns. Here’s how it breaks down:

#### Clients

Use Pulse AP to get things done. Whether it’s training an AI model, storing data, or accessing a robotic system, Clients post jobs to the network and pay for utility.

#### Partners

Provide compute, storage, or access capacity. When a job matches their offer, they complete the work and earn tokens, by default $PULSE.

#### Validators

Keep the network secure and fair. They assign jobs, verify results, and confirm blocks. It’s how trust gets enforced on-chain.

#### Creators

Build and launch co-chains. They define the logic, pricing, and services of their chain and earn from real usage. Think of them as the app developers of Pulse AP.

But contribution isn’t just about showing up, it’s about impact. That’s where your Reliability Score comes in.

It tracks how consistently and effectively you add value to the network. Run jobs reliably? Ship tools others use? Help grow the ecosystem? It all adds up.

The more value you bring, the more reputation you earn, and that reputation opens doors. From stronger voting power to deeper platform privileges, Pulse AP rewards contribution, not capital.

This is decentralization built on proof of participation.
