 ## What are Cloud Units?
+
 Cloud units are the basis for price calculation for anyone intending to use/deploy on the Threefold Grid. 
 
 Cloud units are a unified way to account for virtual hardware resources on the ThreeFold Grid. They represent compute, storage and network equivalents to energy (kW - kilowatt). The are three categories of cloud units:

+The server/Node specs of the Farmers hardware:
+
+* Compute Capacity (CPU)
+* Memory Capacity (RAM)
+* Storage Capacity (SSD/HDD)
+
+The performance/capability of this hardware is attributed with cloudunits that then summarized to a CPR for the individual node. The higher the CPR, the more tokens are earned. Simply put, the more capable the hardware, the more TFTs are earned.

+# TFGrid Tokenomics
+
+
+## TFGrid Tokenomics Upgrade
+
+The tokenomics of any digital ecosystem plays a pivotal role in determining its sustainability, growth, and value proposition. In the case of ThreeFold, there are evident challenges with the current tokenomics model that necessitate an upgrade.
+
+The current tokenomics model of ThreeFold doesn't fully reflect the platform's worth and potential. An upgrade is essential to rectify existing challenges, ensuring that the tokenomics aligns with the platform's growth trajectory and offers a fair representation of its value.
+
+* Lack of Commercial Utilization: 
+    * The present model doesn't sufficiently incentivize commercial utilization. This means that the tokens, instead of being used to facilitate transactions or access services within the ecosystem, are often liquidated.
+* Selling Pressure from Farmers: 
+    * The current dynamics have led to a scenario where ThreeFold farmers frequently sell their tokens. This consistent selling exerts downward pressure on the token's price, preventing it from realizing its true potential value.
+* Undervalued Market Cap: 
+    * The cumulative effect of these factors has resulted in a market capitalization for the liquid tokens that is significantly undervalued. With a market cap hovering around 5 million dollars, it starkly contrasts with the intrinsic value and potential of the ThreeFold ecosystem.
+
+Future Optimism: Despite the current challenges, there's a strong belief in the imminent positive shift in the token's value. As ThreeFold gears up to launch more commercial workloads and with the anticipated funding for TF Cloud, there's an expectation of increased commercial utilization. This, in turn, can drive demand for the token, potentially boosting its price and aligning the market cap more closely with ThreeFold's true value.
+
+We are working on some fundamental changes which will achieve the following
+
+- We limit the amount of TFT which can ever be farmed to max 1 Billion TFT (as seen on Stellar).
+- Situation: march 20 2024, there are about 60m more TFT to be farmed which is still a lot.
+- Farmers will receive more reward based on Utilization
+- P2P Billing and Payments will lead to using TFT for much more services, which will have positive impact as well.

+# Who is behind the project ?
+
+## who created the project
+
+A group of passionate people who want to build a new foundational layer for an better working internet, more like the Internet was originally intended.
+
+The project was started by some Internet & Cloud veterans who now want to handover to a much more decentralized environment.
+
+More than 1000 farmers...
+
+## the project mission
+
+- we help others to create...
+- enable everyone to build on top of TFGrid who needs cloud capacity (network, gpu, cpu, storage, ...)
+
+## the project purpose
+
+- deliver a new infrastructure layer to build a new internet on top off
+- this infra layer is sovereign, more scalable, peer2peer, co-owned, ...
+- project delivers network, compute, storage constructs to work with anyone who needs it for their own usecases
+- [see tech high level description](key_innovations)
+
+## who can benefit from TFGrid capabilities most?
+
+- developers for CI/CD
+- countries to deploy their own internet 
+- DePIN movement
+- Social Media Apps
+- ...
+
+## what has project achieved
+
+- grid
+- country
+- community
+- ...
+
+## how biased is the project
+
+- not biased, we are tech platform
+- keep [values simple](values:planet_people_first) but very strong
+- project intent is to clearly want to explain what the capabilities are of our tech and let everone decide for themselves what to do with it
+
+## Messaging
+
+- project is here to make it easy for everyone to play their role (see above)
+- project believe very much in an internet where everyone can communicate freely, owns their own data, ...
+- project wants to help others to really become decentralized (which is not the case today)
+- project wants to help governments to have their own Internet
+- project wants to help datacenter providers to build datacenters in other ways
+
+
+## the participants
+
+### Farmers
+
+- connect computers to our new internet
+- means provide GPU, Storage and Compute capacity and make it available over Mycelium to all participants
+
+### Network Bridgers
+
+- make bridge between old and new internet 
+- provide bandwidth to Mycelium (the new Internet Network)
+
+### Guardians
+
+- Protect the network
+- Provide governance
+- Keep all relevant services up and running to allow the TFGrid to function
+
+### Farming Pools
+
+- Help farmers to be more effective
+- Training & Support
+- Improve uptime and provide authenticity
+
+### DePIN Flow Provider 
+
+- project are looking for a party (company, project, community) who wants to launch us into the DePIN world
+- promote our project, explain tokens, integrate with exchanges
+- integrate with rest of DePIN ecosystem
+- organize community growth
+- organize grants towards rest of community
+- basically grown value for full ecosystem and let it "FLOW"
+
+### TF Coop
+
+- our governance layer (DAO tooling can be extended)
+- Cooperative we are all part off.
+- The Coop directors build an organization to streamline our expansion
+- Give everyone a voice and env to operate from 
+
+### TFNode Suppliers
+
+- Build & Sell TFNode's to our participants.
+- Minimal service/support needs to be delivered
+
+### Service / Solution Providers
+
+- They create & provide solutions and/or services on top of TFGrid
+- Customers of these solutions pay in INCA (providing value to our mutual credit currency)
+- Each solution has T&C
+- Each solution needs to be supported
+  
+### Technology providers
+
+- create opensource technology as can be used in the TFGrid
+- grants might be available to reward Technology Providers
+- TFTech (will get new name) is example of Technology Provider
+
+### Digital Sovereign Zone's
+
+- project integrate with sovereign zones to provide end2end sovereign regulated sandbox environments using tech, finance and legal solutions.
