+# TFToken = the Valuable Token of The Internet of Internets
+
+ThreeFold uses the power of digital currency models to create value. 
+
+
+![alt_text](img/underlying_utility.png )
+
+TFT is valuable and delivers the resources described above for a certain number of hours. You can do much more with a TFT than what is described above. It's just an example, but it shows the real utility of a TFT. \

+# 3 Dimensions in Token Creation & Utilization
+
+
+
+### 1. Proof of Capacity = Farming
+
+3Nodes (computers) deliver storage, compute, and network capacity as the basis for our new Internet.  \
+Our Unique Operating system measures the capacity as provided by a farmer and this gets registered in our blockchain. 
+
+_TFT Reward per Month = 3Node Capacity * TFT Reward per Unit of Capacity / Month._
+
+This TFT Reward Amount : 
+
+
+
+* is recorded in the blockchain at the moment of 3Node registration and verification,  \
+every hour our operating system and blockchain verifies the available capacity.
+* Is calculated so that it generates per month  +- 1/5  of all TFT needed to buy all capacity at the point of registration.  \
+e.g. if a 3node can generate commercial value of 100 USD per month for all internet capacity and the TFT price is 0.1 at that point, then _100*0.1/5 _is +- the amount of TFT that will be rewarded (generated) per month. \
+This means TFT is by design +- 5 times undervalued in relation to 100% utilization at connection.
+* The TFT reward amount is agreed upon by the DAO per Regional Internet to make sure there is consensus.
+
+The farmer can receive boosters rewards (still to be defined) if certain achievements are achieved e.g. uptime, good bandwidth to Internet, good utilization. There is no link between farming & utilization.
+
+More info see [https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/proof_of_capacity](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/proof_of_capacity) 
+
+Farming is the only way in which TFT are created (minted) !!!! 
+
+
+### 2. Proof of Expansion = Staking
+
+Staking is the mechanism to let the community invest and benefit from the growth of the ThreeFold Grid. \
+The main TFT is like the reserve currency for the larger Internet of Internets, the TFT is the currency needed to go in between all the different Internets. To establish this Internet, a lot of TFT are needed.
+
+We have 3 major staking concepts:
+
+
+
+* Internet of Internets Layer: TFT Validators = 300m TFT
+    * Our TFT Validators (our master TFT money chain & identity chain) has 100 Validators.
+    * ½ have been reserved already
+* Regional Internet TFGrid Validators = 1,000 (regions) x 100 (nr validators) x 500,000 (staking per validator) = 50 Billion TFT
+    * At current price of 0.1 we need 50 billion TFT (in case there would be 1000 Regional Internets)
+* Regional Internet DEFI Pool = 1,000 x 5,000,000 =  5 Billion TFT
+    * This DEFI pool is between the master TFT and TFT on each regional level.
+    * Each regional Internet needs at least 500k USD worth of TFT at that point in the DEFI pool.
+
+There are 800m TFT right now. The above described staking requirement needs +50 Billion TFT if the TFT would not raise in price, which is not possible. In other words, TFT will have to rise in price. Please do note the other mechanisms like burning will kick in as well.
+

+
+
+### 3. Proof of Utilization = Cultivation
+
+When users use the capacity of the grid they need TFT, these TFT are burned and given to the channel.
+
+Percentage	Description				Remark
+
+35%		TFT burning				A mechanism used to maintain scarcity in the TFT economy.
+
+10%		ThreeFold Foundation			Funds allocated to promote and grow the ThreeFold Grid.
+
+5%		Validator Staking Pool			Rewards farmers that run TFChain 3.0 validator nodes.
+
+50%		Solution providers & sales channel 		(optional more burning)
+
+In a couple of years 35% burning will be more than farming. This means as the grid grows, more tokens will be burned compared to farmed, which leads to more scarcity. In the beginning, utilization is small compared to farming & staking.
+
+This will happen mainly in the last phase of our expansion mode as mentioned above.

+# 4 phases, TFT is Scarce and Valuable
+
+![alt_text](img/velocity_phase.png )
+
+
+The first phase has been focused on the initial expansion and the creation of all the technology required (this phase is now completed. The next two phases are all about accelerated expansion, and this requires many billions of tokens and tens of thousands of servers, neither of which are available today.  To support the accelerated expansion phase, we are now establishing a set of liquidity pools.The more TFT flow, the more successful ThreeFold will become. 
+
+**Phase 1 = The Creation & Initial Roll out Phase (Completed)**
+
+
+
+* Creation of the ThreeFold Grid, rewards for all early farmers & technology providers. +50m USD invested.
+* Initial roll out, Proof of technology (we are now gen 3), every day new capacity is extended without our involvement.
+* **We are now at the end of phase 1, the market cap of the tokens is < 20m USD, this represents a real opportunity.**
+
+ \
+**Phase 2 = Expansion Phase = Requires X Billion TFT = STAKING FOR EXPANSION \
+**
+
+
+
+* This stage will need multiple billions of TFT, this will stabilize the TFT price & drive liquidity.
+* While the world is becoming less stable, more and more people realize that they need a new Internet and more stable digital currencies. Because of the underlying tokenomics, TFT might be a good future inflation hedge.
+* Liquidity Flow Providers (LFP) power the financial system of this model, providing flow. \
+
+
+**Phase 3 = Web 4.0 Roll out = Requires Y Billion TFT = BUY THREEFOLD KEYS**
+
+
+
+* The Twin for Life concept holds the key to our digital future. 
+* A first roll out for web 4.0 will be called Uhuru our alternative to +10 digital internet experiences (also called FreeFlow).
+
+** \
+Phase 4 = Velocity Phase = the engine is running at full speed = the world has a new internet (-: **
+
+
+
+* TFT is needed everywhere to get access to 
+    * Web 4.0 - hundreds of millions of twins
+    * TFGrid Internet Capacity 
+    * Rendering & Streaming capacity for Gaming & Metaverse Capacity (this will be HUGE)
+    * DEFI Pools for more P2P currencies
+* This will lead to increased velocity and flow: this is how a valuable digital currency is being created.
+* As part of this phase, we burn (take out of circulation) more tokens than we create thanks to our burning concept.
+
+_For Phase 2 and 3, we would require +100 Billion of TFT if the TFT price were not to rise from current absurdly low prices, there is simply nowhere near  enough TFT available so the TFT price must rise as a consequence._
