+## Getting TFTs on the Stellar network
+
+<!--
+TODO Generic description to get yourself / your threefold_connect on the stellar network and get (free) TFTs
+-->
+
+- - Getting Free TFT is currently only available on testnet, the website for production is coming soon. \*
+
+### Getting your ThreeFold Connect to the Stellar network
+
+The ThreeFold Connect app has a wallet inside, accessed using either the seed keys of the ThreeFold Connect app or an imported seed key.
+The wallet allows you to show your balance in TFTs and FreeTFTs, as well as transferring (sending and receiving) tokens.
+Trading on the StellarX DEX is not yet possible using ThreeFold Connect app (under construction). This is why it can be useful to install other wallets, which are able to do trades on the Stellar DEX.
+
+### How to get a Stellar account in the ThreeFold Connect app
+
+Accounts need to be activated on the Stellar network.
+You can do this by sending an sms with the 5 character code to the shown sms number.
+
+![sms_activ](3bot_staging_sms_activation.jpg)
+
+Sending this sms will trigger the activation of a TFT account on the Stellar Network, and the creation of a trustline to the issuer of the token.
+Once activation is done, you can start sending and receiving TFTs.
+
+### Getting other Stellar wallets to add a TFT or FreeTFT account
+
+A list of available Stellar wallets can be found [here](https://www.stellar.org/ecosystem/projects?tab=wallets#directory).
+
+An account needs the below information keys to access the Stellar network.
+
+ThreeFold_Token is registered under :
+
+- `AssetCode` TFT
+- `Issuer` GBOVQKJYHXRR3DX6NOX2RRYFRCUMSADGDESTDNBDS6CDVLGVESRTAC47
+
+FreeTFT is a separate token with :
+
+- `AssetCode` FreeTFT
+- `Issuer` GCBGS5TFE2BPPUVY55ZPEMWWGR6CLQ7T6P46SOFGHXEBJ34MSP6HVEUT
+
+Both TFT and FreeTFT are registered on this blockchain, under the domain `threefold.io` . Some wallets don't require you to introduce assetcode and issuer, but need this domain name to find back the tokens on the Stellar network.
+
+## How to buy TFTs
+
+Trading capabilities are not yet available in the ThreeFold Connect app.
+As from April 29, TFTs are tradable on following exchanges.
+
+### Centralized exchanges
+
+- [Liquid](https://www.liquid.com/) (centralized exchange)
+- [BTC Alpha](https://btc-alpha.com/en/) (centralized exchange)
+
+### Stellar Decentralized exchange
+
+You can also exchange TFTs with other tokens in a decentralized way, using StellarX, the Stellar decentralized exchange.
+
+More info can be found [here](tft_stellarx.md).
+
+## Pay for capacity
+
+Capacity on the ThreeFold_Grid can only be bought using tokens. These tokens are registered on the Stellar network.
+
+Two tokens can be used :
+
+- TFT is the usual currency to be used for capacity reservation.
+- FreeTFT is a token that is freely distributed to 3Bot users, for exploration of the capabilities. Every new 3Bot ID gets 1000 FreeTFT, which can be used for reserving capacity.
+
+## How to get FreeTFTs
+
+Every 3bot gives right to 1000 FreeTFTs, available to pay capacity on the ThreeFold_Grid.
+
+To claim your 1000 FreeTFT, go to the website and claim your tokens.
+
+![getfreetft](getfreetft.jpg)
+
+<!--- TODO add FreeTFT faucet website, testnet already available :
+https://testnet.threefold.io/threefoldfoundation/stellar_faucet --->
+
+<b/> Remark: </b>
+
+- only 1000 FreeTFTs are available per 3Bot. Moreover, also the number of 3Bots per user / phone number is limited.
+- FreeTFTs are only available to explore the ThreeFold_Grid, and have no long-term value.
+- Getting Free TFT is currently only available on testnet, the website for production is coming soon.

+## ThreeFold_Token: liquidity
+
+ThreeFold_Token (TFT), is a young vibrant token, with the potential to become a leading cryptocurrency with market capitalization of US$1+ billion and daily trading volume of over US$10 million. It is the token of a new neutral green internet, backed by internet capacity, with its own intrinsic value.
+
+One of the keys to success and wide acceptance of the token is its liquidity. Therefore, there is a need to now jump start liquidity as a key to fulfilling TFT's potential. To that extent, we are listing on several major independent token/coin exchanges, as well as launching our own decentralized exchange.
+
+Our first step was to list TFTs on the BTC-Alpha token exchange in June 17, 2018. In the initial weeks of trading, organic daily liquidity rose to more than 10x, with the help of several independent traders who were allocated modest amounts of TFTs to trade. Their mandate was to trade tokens, and they were rewarded based on volume traded. We are considering furthering this as a part of our token promotion efforts.
+
+Step two is to launch our own decentralized exchange, the UI/UX for which is under development and is due to launch in September 2018. The advantage of this decentralized exchange is that there are no trading fees, those typically charged by centralized exchanges. We use atomic swaps to achieve secure and reliable trading across multiple tokens.
+Step three is to list TFT on larger, more recognized exchanges. This requires yet higher liquidity i.e. more than 100k USD traded daily, as well as a hefty listing fee. New listings would enable further visibility, liquidity and adoption of TFT's by a significantly larger community.
+
+We would like to take this opportunity to invite all independent traders to engage with our token, TFT. Your participation supports the stability and liquidity of the TFT ecosystem, thereby contributing and empowering the new neutral and sustainable internet which is supported by ThreeFold_Token. Please contact us at info@ThreeFold_Token.com or simply begin trading on [public exchanges](https://threefold.me/tokens/).
+
+Thank you.

+
+# ThreeFold_Token
+
+ThreeFold_Token (TFT) is a decentralized digital currency used to buy autonomous and decentralized Internet services (compute, storage, and application) on the ThreeFold_Grid.
+
+The ThreeFold_Token represents a unit of reservation of autonomous Internet capacity.
+
+Internet capacity is the world's fastest growing commodity, and the TFT is supported by this highly demanded, underlying economy of infrastructure and services called ThreeFold. Threefold is comprised of developers, farmers, and users from all over the world.
+
+### Where to get TFTs
+
+ThreeFold_Tokens (TFT) can be bought from any of the ThreeFold Farmers, active digital currency exchanges or through users on our own native decentralized exchange (DEX). For more information please visit [threefold.io](https://www.threefold.io)
+
+### Utility Driven
+
+“Utility” driven means that ThreeFold_Tokens can be used to buy and sell the internet capacity and/or products and services on the ThreeFold_Grid. In this way, the token’s value is supported by the economy of services.
+
+The community will have access to all metrics of the ThreeFold_Grid required to determine its economic value.
+
+### Economic Value
+
+The ThreeFold_Token value will be determined by market supply and demand, however, the underlying economic value (internet infrastructure) that supports the token economy has been designed to always be far greater than tokens issued, to ensure there is tangible infrastructure deployed with the generation of each token.
+
+Given the nature of the issuance model, the number of tokens issued by the grid to new farmers is always smaller than the amount of real capacity connected to the TF Grid. Due to this fact, the amount of tokens required to support liquidity on the market is growing faster than the tokens available.
+

+
+1. Hardware connected to the ThreeFold_Grid by installing Zero-OS.
+2. Decentralized blockchain issues specific amount of ThreeFold_Tokens (TFT) every month to the hardware owner into the specified wallet
+3. Farmers can keep TFT for some time or sell to anyone else.
+4. Anyone can buy TFT on an open market or directly from farmers.
+5. When someone wants to run workloads on a farmer’s hardware, to reserve capacity they should use TFT. After reservation, TFTs go back to the farmer.
+6. Anyone can buy TFT on an open market or directly from a farmer.
