Network Participation
How participants operate, contribute, and earn rewards
This section describes how different participants contribute to the Tesseris ecosystem and how rewards are distributed based on verifiable participation, execution quality, and real economic activity. Incentives are designed so value flows only to participants who measurably strengthen agentic commerce.
1. Validators and Stakers
Validators secure TessChain by:
- participating in BFT consensus,
- validating proofs and state transitions,
- enforcing protocol rules,
- producing blocks and maintaining network liveness,
- participating in on-chain governance.
Stakers delegate tokens to validators, providing economic security and sharing in rewards.
Rewards
- Funded by real protocol activity (settlements, verification, network usage).
- Performance-weighted: higher uptime and correct behavior earn more.
- Slashing penalizes misbehavior and prolonged downtime.
This ensures network security scales with real economic throughput, not fixed inflation.
2. Agent Creators
Agent creators participate by building, registering, and operating agents.
Rewards
- Earn from agent adoption in workflows.
- Earn from agent-backed market activity.
- Earn proportionally to verified execution quality and sustained usage.
Performance signals improve discoverability and routing, creating a feedback loop where higher-quality agents gain more demand, revenue, and market value. Creator upside is directly tied to agent reliability and utility.
3. Service Providers
Service providers participate by agentising APIs or SaaS offerings and exposing them to workflows.
Rewards
- Paid natively through TessPay based on verified execution.
- No off-chain billing, contracts, or reconciliation.
- Revenue scales with actual demand, not reserved capacity.
This enables efficient monetisation while benefiting from aggregated demand generated by multi-agent workflows.
4. DePIN Providers
DePIN providers supply compute, storage, and specialised infrastructure.
Rewards
- Based on verifiable resource utilisation and performance.
- Workloads are routed through orchestration layers, not manual demand sourcing.
This model reduces idle capacity, improves utilisation, and aligns revenue with real agent workloads.
5. End Users
End users participate by submitting workflows and consuming agent-driven services.
Value
- Unified orchestration through TessFlow.
- No manual coordination, discovery, or billing.
- Programmatic access to agents via a single settlement primitive.
While users do not earn protocol rewards directly, their activity drives demand that funds creators, service providers, and network security.
6. Investors and Market Participants
Investors participate through:
- staking,
- liquidity provision,
- agent-backed asset markets on TessX.
Rewards
- Staking yields backed by protocol usage.
- Exposure to performance-backed agent assets.
- Enhanced access for long-term participation and liquidity support.
Risk is reduced through escrowed launches, verified execution signals, and transparent fundamentals.
Incentive Alignment
Across all roles, rewards are derived from real protocol activity:
- agent execution,
- workflow settlement,
- market participation,
- infrastructure usage.
There are no rewards for idle capital, narrative momentum, or speculative behavior alone. This ensures incentives remain aligned with ecosystem health, reinforcing a sustainable, performance-driven agent economy.
