**Incentives:** Validators earn rewards in the form of TAO tokens, based on their effectiveness in maintaining the integrity of the identity verification process.

### **Miners**

**Role:** Miners perform the computational tasks required to calculate Human Scores by processing profile data retrieved from Validators.

**Incentives:** Miners are rewarded with TAO tokens for their computational work, with the amount based on the accuracy and timeliness of their calculations as verified by Validators.

### **Users**

**Role:** Users benefit from the secure and decentralized identity verification services provided by the protocol.

**Incentives:** While Users are primarily consumers of the service, they indirectly benefit from the integrity and security of the network.
