## ThreeFold DePIN Launch: Project INCA
Welcome to the Project INCA by ThreeFold.
With the project INCA, we want to create a decentralized future for ThreeFold by means of a launch in the DePIN ecosystem on top of Solana.
*Please do note the name INCA will prob still change.*
## Contributing to DePIN community
The current marketcap of the project is under 40 million USD, while other DePIN projects have marketcaps of 1 billion USD and more.
We believe that ThreeFold is ready and has rock solid technology to offer to the DePIN space. We think that what ThreeFold has to offer is comptabile to this space and that we can work in parallel and under many if not all projects in the DePIN space.
ThreeFold now has the necessary support from a lot of parties. We are entering a new exciting phase: Project INCA.

# Collaboration
We had the pleasure collaborating on the creation and succesful development for more than 10 high tech startups.
We realized that the way how we collaborate defines a big part of the outcome.
> A lot of this knowledge can be found on [https://threefold.info/cocreation](https://threefold.info/cocreation)/
Working together with the OurWorld / ThreeFold ecosystem means you agree and are committed to above as such its highly appreciated you take some time to go over the info.
## Summary lets choose the best of the 2 ways
There are 2 ways how to collaborate:
1. The typical pyramid system, where a boss manages (directs) a sub boss until the required results are achieved and any non compliance results in “fixing” the issue. This results in harsh cultures and not even that effective.
2. A circular system with clear stakeholders, examples are scrum, … These are more agile methods and leave a lot of freedom but require a certain discipline. To let 2 work agreement on how to interface (tools, process reports, …) needs to be agreed upon between ALL stakeholders because it's more dynamic and more interconnected compared to 1.
Obviously we are not a believer of 1, this means certain discipline and agreement to following existing tooling is a must.
2 is a commitment though, often we see people wanting to combine the benefits of 1 into 2, that often doesnt work e.g. “TRUST me, I know what I am doing, let me alone…” these are statements which can work in 1 not in 2.
In 2 we trust each other by design but we require transparency and ability to comment on the work we are doing.
## Tools
TF has adopted a set of tools to work following “2”, these tools are maybe not something you are used to or comfortable with. But dont panic, millions of people have been able to do this before you, \
so I guess you can do the same (the system we use is the same as github but actually easier).
### Our tools
* We use Gitea for
* Task management
* Story Management
* Websites
* Specs, Code, …
* E-Books, Wikis, Manuals
* There is continuous integration & deployment.
* Gitea is the basis for our own future vision of how to collaborate deploy on TFGrid see [https://threefold.info/tech/tech/roadmap.html](https://threefold.info/tech/tech/roadmap.html)
* We use GDrive for all our other documents
* All Info is in a GDrive folder dedicated for Project INCA
* We use Telegram for internal communication
* Also groups, you can have topics just like we do in Slack.
* I am sorry but I dont want our team to lose time by using yet another tool
### Not enough reporting
A common complaint is that gitea doesnt give enough reporting, there is a plan to fix this
* A portal is being created to make it easy for all of us to collaborate, will be done in Summer
* Company/Project Directory \
(what are all projects our larger community is working on)
* People Directory
* Nice overview of Stories/Tasks/Milestones/… will get info from Gitea
* Priority management: will warn user when we are getting behind on tasks, stories
* Reward dashboard (tokens, shares, reward pool, …)
* Information overview (what is most relevant info per project)
* Contract overview (with security of course), includes our SAFEs
* Phase 2:
* Internal chat/messaging \
(might replace telegram for internal communication at one point in time)
* Integrated sort of forum for discussions
* Video Conferencing
## We work in an agile way
As such we want everyone to understand and endorse that we are not a pyramid and are ok to work in a more Teal Based organization structure:
* No-one is the boss of a pyramid, we dont do politics.
* Instead we have coordinators and they make sure that stories, milestones are understood, these are on gitea, they make sure there are stakeholders and stakeholders do agree on the stories & milestones. (do note stories are high level and have nicely described deliverables and requirements).
* All information worked at all times is transparent, and on the right location, no-one keeps it on their own drive not even to prepare, people are disciplined to make sure files no longer relevant go to _archive folder.
* We avoid too many meetings, we make stories, we make specs, we review specs, we use git… to get to consensus and then the occasional stakeholder meeting is used to find consensus. We log (comments) on the stories. We make everything accountable.
* We accept our wiki as a single source of truth even if it means learning how to use it, we will not ad hoc put all kinds of documents everywhere which of course cannot be followed by the team and will need endless meetings.
* We are aware of victimhood and try not to be there, we take responsibility for our own actions first, if the story is not clear and we accepted it it's our own fault, if we didnt escalate to the right stakeholders it's our own fault, if we didnt report our progress properly it's our own fault people dont know,...
* We avoid as much as we can centralized tools, only when there is really no alternative (yet) we use them e.g. GDrive and the stakeholders do agree. No-one has the power to choose another tool unless OurWorld, Project INCA & TF together agree. This is super important to make sure that we can create this portal and work together efficiently.
* Whoever cannot work this way is not welcome to be an active contributor to the Project INCA Team. The coordinators make sure this section is enforced.
## We do believe
* Our Team Members are passionate and truly Believe TF has something to offer.
* Our Team Members DO not do it to make a quick win (tokens), \
Our Team Members do it in the first place because they want TF to succeed.
* Our Team Members are capable of collaborating and being inclusive and respectful.
* Our Team Members do understand we are different and want to be different

# Ideas
## INCA G
* Replacement strategy of staking is
* People need INCA in their wallets to get discounts.
* Certain amount of INCA is needed to be held per Node if they want to guarantee their SLAs , if they cant achieve their SAL then these tokens are used to compensate market
* An INCA G (Generator) token can be created
* INCA G is a generator token of future capacity, name can change
* This token can be sold with no limits even on Solana as long as people are whitelisted
* INCA G will be structured as a real Security in our Digital Freezone once we have it.
* INCA G can only be sold to people who did KYC/AML \
and paid a 24 EUR membership fee to be part of our cooperative in the freezone.
* We can organize semi public sell of INCA Tokens through free-zone
* Other ideas ???

# Requirements = “our box we operate in”
Its important we all agree on our requirements and all actions will be in line with these requirements.
## Regulatory
Avoid any possible link to token as security
* There will be no staking of INCA or any other token created.
* There will be no yield generating instruments created with INCA
* There will be no public launch of INCA Tokens (private sell ok)
A COOP might be a good structure for resolving our regulatory requirements for farmers \
& larger customers.
* It needs to be all super simple and easy for our user base.
* Every farmer and every user who is spending more than 1000 USD/month \
(using any supported digital or fiat currency) \
is part of a COOP which will be structured in our digital freezone.
* This will be made super easy (just KYC simple process) and you pay 24 USD to get started.
* COOP Membership fee is :
* 1 USD per month for basic users (to be paid at setup) for INCA G holders
* 10 USD per month for members who need more features
## Reputation
One of our biggest strengths is how we link back to the real world through our government connections and soon a major telco. While this is great this also means we need to stay very clean in relation to reputation and how we come across.
## Positioning
* We dont try to be like the other casino projects or even mimic what they do.
* We are ourselves a decent project, with an aim to become the biggest Edge Cloud Provider in the world which is a viable alternative to the centralized players.
* We focus on expansion because that is needed first.
## Marketing Wise
* We will not brand ourselves or even be understood as a pump & dump, \
We stay loyal to our values at all times.
* We are different and will position ourselves as being different.
## Funding & Tokenomics
Let's together agree on the following:
* There is focus on finding funding, the people who do fundraise do understand how it works e.g. first get to the term sheet before giving certain info, get lots of info open for negotiation and advice, know that most questions asked are asked for other reasons, …
* <span style="text-decoration:underline;">If there is vesting then Vesting for TFT holders will be the same for ALL TFT holders.</span>
* We are perfectly ok to show an overview of who has which tokens but some work needs to be done, some original token holders agree to grant tokens to a pool, some of the details are on our INCA wiki.
* TFT x1 or TFT x2 can be part of negotiation once enough money has been found, e.g. if 30m EUR comes then I am sure we can convince our community to keep it on 1x \
(1x = means 1 Billion of the 4 Billion)
* We will not sell INCA tokens underneath 0.05 USD per INCA, \
this needs to be the absolute lowest level (and anyhow no public sell).
## Transparency
* There is a weekly report sent to community, TF, Ourworld around what has been achieved

* There are regular stakeholder meetings (at least 1x per week at start)

## High Level Tokenomics INCA (Plan B)
> This is the plan if we don't find enough funding for Project INCA and need to grow organically.
There can never be more than 4 Billion INCA.
- 50% of supply for Farming
- People expanding the network with Router & Node capacity over the multiple releases
- 14% Million for community grants
- We want to expand and build our project in first place together with the community
- 1.5% Million for community expansion specifically for INCA
- Promotion of the TFGrid
- 5.5% for liquidity providing (DEX, marketmakers, ...)
- 11.5% originating from "Original Technology Acquisition"
- ThreeFold and INCA is the result of technology developed in a tech company, which got acquired many years ago, this resulted in a token grant for the stakeholders of that company
- 17.5% for team and contributor rewards
- It's for people who help to expand the Grid (starting now)
- A lot of it is to reward our partners to help launch the INCA Tokens & the TFGrid

## Release Schedule
![alt text](img/tokens_release.png)
The following table shows planned release, some of the mechanisms and details are still being worked on.
*Accelerated Vesting means: if INCA gets above 0.5 USD per INCA (50%), the vesting accelerates in proportion to the percentage (e.g. 0.6 CHF per INCA = 60$ acceleration). At 1 CHF per INCA (100%) and more, the acceleration is 100%.*

## TOKENS
There might be 2 tokens
> TODO: to complete
### INCA Token
> INCA = INternet CApacity (is the token of buying/selling Internet/Cloud Capacity)
- 4 billion INCA will be created
<br>
### INCA-G (to be discussed)
> INCA-G = INCA Generator (is a token generating INCA typically over 48 months)
An INCA-G token generates INCA over a certain period. INCA stands for Internet Capacity token, enabling individuals to buy/sell Internet & Cloud Capacity.
We can analogize the generation of Cloud/Internet capacity to the generation of electricity. In this analogy, INCA is akin to the KWH token, while INCA-G is comparable to the KW token (representing capacity to generate electricity).
INCA-G tokens are unique and come with metadata specifying how INCA will be generated. This metadata outlines the generation schedule of INCA over the next X months.
!!wiki.include page:'projectinca:inca.md'
## How to Acquire the INCA-G Token?
> TODO: to be discussed
### Round 1: SwissBorg & TF Cooperative
1 INCA-G token generates 15,000 INCA over 48 months.
1 INCA-G can be bought:
- From SwissBorg for 500 CHF
- Crypto-enabled bank in Switzerland
- Maximum sold is 5,000 INCA-G tokens
- with TFT which is the founder creator currency of the current grid
- There will never be more than 1 billion TFT
- 1 INCA-G token costs 10,000 TFT (\*)
> (\*) The pricing will depend on price of TFT at that moment.
### Round 2: **A**frica and Latin **A**merica INCA-G Tokens (AA)
> TODO: to be discussed
1 INCA-G AA Token generates 10,000 INCA over 48 months.
AA stands for Africa and latin America
- From SwissBorg for *TBD* CHF.
The incoming funds will be used to generate Cloud & Internet capacity in these regions, <br>which are serious growth regions in the world.

# INCA Tokens Distribution
> Not ready yet, we are defining how to do this best.
The INCA token is the result of our 4 generations of product releases.
- INCA will be on many DEXes
- The INCA will be bridged to other major blockchains and we aim to have INCA available on Exchanges.
We are a community driven project and that shows in our tokenomics, over the both generations:
- +70% of all tokens over both generation net's is for the community (farming, grants, liquidity providing ...)
- 11.5% was for the original technology acquisition
- 17.5% is for the team and contributors

## Architecture
The ThreeFold Grid architecture provides a myriad of cloud possibilities thanks to its interrelated layers.
![](img/architecture.png)
The system has been designed to be scalable to a planet level.
- Mycelium is the Network Layer
- 3Nodes are the nodes running Zero-OS which is our own operating System providing compute, storage and network capacity
### 3Nodes

@ -15,46 +20,26 @@ A cloud needs hardware/servers to function. Servers of all shapes and sizes can
Farmers download the Zero-OS operating system and boot their servers. Once booted, these servers become 3Nodes. The 3Nodes will register themselves in a blockchain. Once registered, the capacity of the 3Nodes will become available. This enables a peer2peer environment for people or companies to reserve their Internet Capacity directly from the hardware but yet allowing full control by commercial parties if that would be required.
## Ultra Scalable
![](img/architecture_scalable.png)
This architecture scales to the planet.
## Zero-OS
## Core Components
We have build our own operating system called Zero-OS, which was based starting from a Linux Kernel with as purpose to remove all the unnecessary complexities found on contemporary OS's.
!!wiki.include page:components_links.md
Zero-OS supports a small number of primitives, and performs low-level functions natively.
### Web3 & Decentralized AI Compatibility
It delivers 3 primitive functions:
- storage capacity
- compute capacity
- network capacity
Our Decentralized Cloud Technology the ideal platform for hosting any web3 and AI workloads.
There is no shell, local nor remote attached to Zero-OS. Given its shell-less nature, the people and organizations, called farmers, that run 3nodes cannot issue any commands nor access its features. In that sense, Zero-OS enables a "zero people" (autonomous) Decentralzied Cloud, meaning hackers cannot get in, while also eliminating human error from the paradigm.
Our Zero-OS operating system already supports integrated GPUs, ensuring optimal performance for decentralized AI applications.
> Any workload (web2/3 and AI) can run on on our Decentralized Cloud.
### Mycelium Routers
Thanks to Mycelium Routers anyone can now operate as a network service provider.
Mycelium Routers seamlessly integrate with our Mycelium network technology, efficiently selecting the shortest path between all participants.
These Mycelium Routers are not only compatible with Wi-Fi but also with 4G and 5G networks, ensuring versatile connectivity options.
## 3Bots: The Autonomous Layer
![](img/autonous3bots.png)
### Smart Contract for IT
The purpose of the smart contract for IT is to create and enable autonomous IT. Autonomous self-driving IT is possible.
Once a smart contract for IT is created, it will be registered in the TFChain Blockchain.

Zero-OS is designed with minimalism in mind, supporting only a few fundamental primitives that handle essential low-level functions:
1. **Storage Capacity**
2. **Compute Capacity**
3. **Network Capacity**
**Security and Simplicity:**
Zero-OS provides a Autonomous Decentralized Cloud.

# Rethinking the Internet
**Understanding the Three Layers of the Internet**
![](internet_3layers.png)
The Internet is made of 3 layers:
1. **Compute & Storage:** This layer houses applications and is predominantly centralized, operating from vast data centers.
2. **Network:** The network layer facilitates the movement of information, whether it's wireless, via cables like fiber, or through satellite links. Today, information often travels long distances, with a few companies controlling over 80% of the internets network capacity.
3. **Applications:** These are hosted in large data centers, relying on the centralized compute and storage layers. This centralization makes the system vulnerable.
**Current Challenges**
Digital information primarily flows through extensive fiber backbone networks, as shown here:
![](global_net.png)
The internets design causes inefficiencies, such as when two people in Zanzibar use a service like Zoom. Their data travels all the way to European data centers where Zoom's servers are hosted and back, leading to slow performance, decreased reliability, and increased costs.

**Issues with Autonomy and Sovereignty**

This retains the original structure and links, ensuring that the information is clear and the visual aids are effectively utilized.

## High Level Roadmap
### Status Today
The core offering is functioning effectively, maintained through a community-driven, best-effort approach. Currently,
there are no Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in place, and there should be increased visibility for users regarding their expectations for uptime,
performance, and other service related requirements.
The uptime and stability of Zero-OS are very good.
Additionally, hardware compatibility is excellent, with most machines now supported out of the box.
| | Status today | SDK/API | Web UI |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- | ------ |
| Zero-OS | Used for management of +30,000 logical CPU cores | yes | yes |
| Zero-Images (flists) | Basis for Zero-OS modules as well as replaces images for VM's ... | yes | yes |

| Zero-OS VM Monitoring | Working well, can be retrieved through SDK | yes | yes |
| Zero-OS Web Gateway | Working well, but documentation not good enough, and not enough of them deployed | yes | yes |
| Zero-Boot | There are multiple ways active on how to deploy Zero-OS all are stateless and capable for full secure boot | | |
| | | | |
### Planned new features:
Considerable effort is being made to enable our partners to go into production;
however, for this initiative to truly succeed on planetary level, we need many more nodes deployed in the field.
| | Roadmap | Timing |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ |

# ThreeFold Grid Technology
ThreeFold has developed a highly efficient infrastructure layer for a new Internet.
Providing Internet & cloud capacity is as easy as getting a node and connecting it to the Internet.
![](3node_simple.png)
A lot of capacity has been deployed in the world, hundreds of ThreeFold farmers acquired a computer and connected it to the Internet, as such they use our operating system to provide Internet capacity to the world. Farmers can buy pre-built node or build their own via our DIY guides.
There are multiple ways in which people can interact with our platform, as a developer, a sysadmin, IT expert, etc.
![](img/architecture_usage.png)
All technology is developed by ThreeFold and is opensource, this technology is being used for the ThreeFold grid (see the [ThreeFold Website](https://www.threefold.io)) which is the deployment of a new Internet which is green, safe and owned by all of us.
This document explains how ThreeFold is the missing layer for the full web2, web3 and blockchain world.
This leads to a system which is highly scalable.

# ZOS Protect
# Zero-Tech
- The operating system of the 3node (Zero-OS) is made to exist in environments without the presence of technical knowhow. 3nodes are made to exist everywhere where network meet a power socket. The OS does not have a login shell and does not allow people to log in with physical access to a keyboard and screen nor does it allows logins over the network. There is no way the 3node accepts user initiated login attempts.
- For certified capacity a group of known strategic vendors are able to lock the [BIOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS) of their server range and make sure no-one but them can unlock and change features present in the BIOS. Some vendors have an even higher degree of security and can store private keys in chips in side the computer to provider unique identification based on private keys or have mechanisms to check wether the server has been opened / tampered with in the transportation from the factory / vendor to the Farmer. All of this leads to maximum protection on the hardware level.
