<h1> Decentralization </h1>
![](img/decentralization.png)
Decentralization, in our view, isn't solely about employing blockchain technology everywhere. Instead, we envision it as the culmination of a global community collaborating transparently, sharing everything they do, and actively seeking feedback. Our goal is to ensure that the platform we deploy operates in the most distributed and decentralized manner possible.

## A New Phase for ThreeFold
> TODO: explain how our marketcap and liquidity is too low in relation to the potential
For years, ThreeFold has been quietly and steadily developing its revolutionary technology on mainnet, with a solid foundation of mature infrastructure that is now ready to take the next leap forward. As we embark on an exciting new phase in our journey, it's essential to understand why this technological milestone presents a tremendous opportunity for growth and expansion.
ThreeFold has spent years perfecting its innovative technology, laying the groundwork for a decentralized internet that is accessible to all. However, despite these significant advancements, our market capitalization and liquidity have remained relatively low compared to the immense potential of our platform.
We are now entering a new phase of the ThreeFold Grid with the Grid 4.0 and Project INCA. As we transition into this next phase, we're enabling commercial entities to seamlessly build on the grid. This phase has the aim to unlock unprecedented growth opportunities for ThreeFold stakeholders.
Our ambitious vision for Grid 4.0 represents a harmonious convergence of cutting-edge technologies: a quantum-safe network and storage infrastructure that ensures the integrity of sensitive data; a decentralized platform that empowers anyone to become their own cloud service provider, breaking free from centralized monopolies; and a robust base layer for web 2, 3, and DePIN (Decentralized Internet of People) that fosters seamless interaction between diverse networks. By integrating these components, ThreeFold's Grid 4.0 creates a secure, inclusive, and highly scalable internet ecosystem that truly reflects the needs of a global community.
As you delve deeper into this ebook, you'll gain a profound understanding of ThreeFold's vision, technology, and the vast potential waiting to be unlocked. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we push beyond the boundaries of what's possible with Grid 4.0 and Project INCA.

# ThreeFold Liquidity Pool
The Threefold Liquidity Pool Concept represents a significant advancement over traditional liquidity pools, particularly those known as Automatic Market Makers (AMMs). This system is designed to offer a more sophisticated and transparent approach to our token liquidity management, with several unique features:
The Threefold Liquidity Pool concept represents a significant advancement over traditional liquidity pools, particularly those known as Automatic Market Makers (AMMs). This system is designed to offer a more sophisticated and transparent approach to our token liquidity management, with several unique features:
Advanced Digital Accounting System:
**Advanced Digital Accounting System**
- Unlike typical AMMs, the ThreeFold Liquidity Pool incorporates a full digital accounting system secured by blockchain technology.
- This ensures that all transactions are accurately recorded and transparently reflected in the accounts of all participants.
GOLD-Centric Pairs:
**GOLD-Centric Pairs**
- Our liquidity pool pair GOLD with either a INCA or a FIAT currency (e.g., CHF, EUR).
- Our liquidity pool pair GOLD with either INCA or a FIAT currency (e.g., CHF, EUR).
- This approach ensures that GOLD remains a central and stable element in all transactions, providing a reliable store of value and reducing volatility.
Transparent Pool Rules:
**Transparent Pool Rules**
- The rules governing each pool are fully transparent and accessible to all participants.
- These include the distribution percentages between GOLD and INCA, the spread, and other key parameters.
- This transparency helps maintain trust and fairness within the ecosystem.
Private, Registered Participants:
**Private, Registered Participants**
- Each participant in a pool is registered with a private record that details their holdings (e.g., Mr. X has 100 gram of Gold and 10,000 TFT).
- This system ensures that transactions are securely tracked and that each participant's share of the pool is accurately accounted for.
Reflective Transaction Mechanism:
**Reflective Transaction Mechanism**
- For every transaction within the pool, participants accounts are adjusted accordingly.
- For example, if 1m of TFT is sold for gold and Mr. X holds 5% of the TFT pool, his account is updated to reflect a 5% reduction in TFT and a corresponding increase in his gold holdings, adjusted by the transaction spread (the margin).
- For example, if 1M of TFT is sold for gold and Mr. X holds 5% of the TFT pool, his account is updated to reflect a 5% reduction in TFT and a corresponding increase in his gold holdings, adjusted by the transaction spread (the margin).
Optional Lockup Rules:
**Optional Lockup Rules**
- Pools can optionally include lockup periods during which participants cannot withdraw their assets.
- These periods can be linked to value acceleration mechanisms, incentivizing long-term participation and protecting against market manipulation, such as front-running.
Customizable Price Limits:
**Customizable Price Limits**
- Participants can set minimum selling prices or maximum buying prices for their assets TFT or INCA.
- These settings can remain private unless the pool's rules require public aggregation.
- If no specific price is set, default values established by pool administrators are applied.
Aggregate Transaction Statistics:
**Aggregate Transaction Statistics**
- The system provides aggregated daily statistics on transactions, offering participants insights without compromising privacy.
- This information includes the default buy/sell prices, helping guide market activity while ensuring that individual transactions remain confidential.
Fair and Transparent Participation:
**Fair and Transparent Participation**
- The system is designed to be fair and transparent, adjusting each participant's position in the pool relative to their entry time and participation level.
- This dynamic adjustment over time ensures that the system remains equitable and reflective of each participants contribution.
Liquidity Optimization:
**Liquidity Optimization**
- While the system rewards liquidity providers and maximizes liquidity availability, it does not guarantee it.
- In cases where liquidity is insufficient, participants cannot execute trades until liquidity returns.
- However, they can still place requests in the pool, ensuring that their needs are met over time as liquidity improves.
Participation in Liquidity Pool Defines the Discount on the TFGrid
**Participation in Liquidity Pool Defines the Discount on the TFGrid**
- The pricing engine for the marketplace will use the position of the user in the Liquidity Pool to define discount level, this means the more someone is vested in the ecosystem the more the discount will be.

# Tokenomics
The ThreeFold Tokenomics framework for Grid 4.0 and Project INCA has been designed to promote a thriving ecosystem of cloud users, farmers, and validators. It presents a robust liquidity strategy that ensures seamless transfers and secure transactions within our cloud marketplace. Furthermore, by allocating 40 million tokens for farming grants, we're empowering individuals and organizations to contribute to the grid's growth and development.
Our proof-of-utilization rewards system distributes 80% of rewards to farmers who contribute their resources to the grid, ensuring that they're fairly compensated for their participation. Additionally, 10% of rewards are allocated to the ThreeFold Cooperative and 10% to validator commercial partners, promoting a collaborative and mutually beneficial ecosystem. 100% of the proof-of-capacity rewards go to the farmers hosting nodes on the grid.

## Distribution
The ThreeFold token distribution plan for Grid 4.0 and Project INCA is carefully crafted to ensure a major allocation to the community, with 70% of tokens committed to community-centric initiatives. This includes 55% for supply and farming, 7.5% for community expansion rewards and promotion, and 7.5% for community grants. Additionally, smaller allocations will be made to liquidity providers (3.8%), ThreeFold Dubai Holdings (2.5%), investors (11.3%), and the team and contributors (12.5%).
By prioritizing community growth, we're creating a collaborative environment where everyone can benefit from their contributions and participate in the project's success. This balanced distribution ensures that a significant amount of tokens is dedicated to the community, creating opportunities for growth and development within our ecosystem.
