# Intro

Welcome to the **TFGrid 4 Economics** community e-book. 

This document outlines the proposed changes to the ThreeFold Grid and the utilization of its Token (TFT) and introduces a new liquidity framework designed to create sustainable value for all participants.

## Purpose

This plan is a **living document** created to:

- Share the proposed token economics and liquidity mechanisms
- Acknowledge areas that still need refinement
- Invite community feedback and discussion
- Foster transparent collaboration on the future of ThreeFold's token system

## What This Plan Covers

The transition plan introduces several interconnected concepts:

- **Implementation Status & Roadmap**: Current progress on marketplace features, infrastructure, and timeline
- **Dual Token System**: TFT as a tradable asset and Cloud Credits (CC) as a stable utility token
- **Node Economics & Pricing**: Detailed specifications, income projections, and ThreeFold's capacity commitments
- **Marketplace Mechanics**: How users interact with the system, including swaps and liquidity pools: TODO

:::info Work in Progress
This plan represents our current thinking but is **not finalized**. We are actively seeking community input to refine and improve these mechanisms.

## Open Questions & Gaps

We acknowledge there are still important decisions to be made and gaps to fill. Your feedback on these issues is particularly valuable:

<div className="open-questions">

### Key Areas We're Seeking Feedback On:

- **Entry Price**: Should the fixed TFT to CC conversion rate be 1 or 2 TFT per CC?
- **Peg Currency**: Should Cloud Credits be pegged to **gold** (1/1000 gram) or **USD**?
- **Liquidity Pool Parameters**: 
  - What should the maximum exit percentage per period be?
  - What minimum discount is appropriate for Dutch auction exits?
- **Gaming Prevention**: Are there scenarios where the system could be exploited that we haven't addressed?
- **Farmer Liquidity**: What's the right balance between stability and operational liquidity for farmers?
- **Migration Strategy**: How should we transition from v3 to v4 in the fairest way possible?
- **Exit Restrictions**: When TFT market price is low, what exit rules best protect the system while serving farmers?
