<h1> Decentralization </h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Decentralization, in our view, isn't solely about employing blockchain technology everywhere.
|
|
|
|
- Instead, we envision it as the result of a global community collaborating transparently, sharing everything they do, and actively seeking feedback.
|
|
- Our goal is to ensure that the platform we deploy operates in the most distributed and decentralized manner possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For us decentralization is a very serious topic and is achieved in the following way:
|
|
|
|
- [DePIN](depin.md)
|
|
- **DePIN** (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) refers to blockchain-based networks that enable decentralized ownership, operation, and coordination of physical infrastructure, such as cloud, data and network capacity, incentivized through tokenized rewards and governed by community stakeholders.
|
|
- [INCA](inca.md)
|
|
- The **INCA** token is the utility token as used in the ecosystem to let the DePIN flywheel work.
|
|
- [ThreeFold DAO](dao.md)
|
|
- A **Decentralized Autonomous Organization** is an organizational structure that operates through smart contracts on a blockchain, with decision-making processes carried out in a decentralized and autonomous manner.
|
|
- [Farming Pools](farmingpool.md)
|
|
- A **farming pool** is a group farmers in DAO structures, which could be also legally backed by separate dedicated cooperatives.
|
|
- Each farming pool takes care of management of SLA (service levels), pricing, support and communication to its related farmers.
|
|
- The farming pools run their own voting process to manage their operations.
|
|
- [Cooperative](coop.md)
|
|
- A **cooperative** acts mainly as a coordination role around development, farming pools, DAO's, upgrades, etc.
|
|
- It manages the promotion of the TFGrid and its ecosystem.
|
|
- It safeguards the decentralization principles and the governance of the ecosystem.
|
|
- It requires operational tasks in relation to anything that is of interest to the TF Community.
|
|
- [TF Validators](tfvalidatorcluster.md)
|
|
- **Validators** manage the technical components which run the code for the Blockchain (DAO) and other components needed to technically operate the TF Grid.
|
|
- There are multiple independent validators which each run a validator stack.
