By providing multiple avenues for involvement, Applix Network ensures that users can contribute to and benefit from the platform in meaningful ways. This section outlines the various forms of user participation and the mechanisms in place to encourage and reward engagement. **GPU Contributors** Applix Network relies on individual GPU owners who contribute their computational resources to the platform. \ GPU owners can register their devices as nodes on the network. This involves a verification process to ensure that the GPUs meet performance and security standards.\ Once registered, GPU nodes contribute computational power to the network. This power is dynamically allocated to meet user demand, optimizing resource utilization.\ GPU contributors earn APX tokens as compensation for their resources. Earnings are proportional to the amount of computational power provided and the duration of participation. **Users Renting Compute Power** Users seeking high-performance computational resources can rent GPU power from Applix Network. \ Users can easily access the platform through a user-friendly interface. They can specify their computational requirements, receive instant quotes, and rent the necessary resources.\ The platform offers flexible rental plans, allowing users to choose from short-term bursts of computational power to long-term leases. This flexibility ensures that users can find the most cost-effective solution for their needs.\ Payments for rented resources are made using APX tokens, ensuring secure and efficient transactions. **Feedback and Continuous Improvement** User feedback is essential for the continuous improvement of Applix Network. \ The platform provides multiple channels for users to provide feedback, including forums, social media, and direct support. This ensures that user voices are heard and considered in decision-making processes.\ Applix Network follows an iterative development approach, incorporating user feedback to enhance the platform’s features and functionality continuously.\ Regular updates and transparent communication ensure that users are informed about the platform’s progress, upcoming features, and changes based on their feedback. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://applix-network.gitbook.io/applix-network-documentation/user-participation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
