# Transaction Pool Generation

After being assigned to a validator node, your on-chain and social activities within the Flex ecosystem are meticulously tracked and mapped into a transaction pool. This crucial process is handled by the data layer of the validator node, forming an integral part of the Flex network's architecture. 

**Note that running the Flex node enables you to earn rewards by contributing to tasks while the node in the background also serves a dual purpose by making you a validator of other network participants' activity.**

The generation and maintenance of this transaction pool play a vital role in ensuring the network's trustlessness and tamper resistance. By recording and storing your actions in this secure manner, Flex maintains a transparent yet privacy-conscious system that accurately captures all your contributions to the ecosystem.

## Transaction criteria

The transaction pool consists of community member wallet addresses and their Off-chain and On-chain activities.

In this layer, every single activity completed by the community member is mapped in the pool.

**Examples of off-chain transactions:**

* Liking a post on X
* Posting a video on Youtube
* Following another community member

**Examples of on-chain transactions:**

* Staking ecosystem project tokens
* Minting ecosystem Project NFTs
* Deploying a smart contract on ecosystem project infrastructure

## Transaction structure:

The transaction pool structure is as follows:

```
// Transaction Structure

    "wallets": [
