# The plan with INCA and INCA Generator
> INCA = INternet CApacity (is the token of buying/selling Internet/Cloud Capacity)
<br>
> 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.
## High Level Tokenomics INCA
There can never be more than 4 Billion INCA
- 2 Billion for TFT holders
- Will be sold uniquely to TFT Holders (mainly farmers of the current TFGrid)
- We expect to never fully get to this amount, each TFT converted to INCA gets burned (destroyed).
- 0.8 Billion for community expansion
- promotion of the TFGrid
- farming
- creation of technology on top of the TF Grid
- reward for farmers and other contributors
- peer2peer promotion program
- release schedule: max 40% year 1, 40% year 2, 20 % year 3
- 0.8 Billion for expansion of farming capacity of the grid
- Will be sold through partners e.g. SwissBorg (through INCA-G) and others...
- 0.4 Billion for team with 24 months accelerated vesting.
- 10 % of total
- is 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 TF Grid

*Accelerated Vesting means: if INCA gets above 0.5 CHF per INCA the vesting accelerates 50%, if above 0.6 CHF 60%, ... if above 1 CHF 100% acceleration.*
## How can people acquire an INCA-G token?
### 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 Switserland
- 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)
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 governance
A Wisdom Council approves budgets in line to tokenomics above.
- ThreeFold Wisdom Council, to be created, 9 people, 6 need to agree.
- 1 OurWorld (MWW)
- 1 ThreeFold DMCC (Adnan)
- 1 TF9 (Kristof)
- 1 Sikana (Greg)
- **5 people with name in community**
- Budgets get allocated to projects on git.threefold.info, clear stories with clear budget allocations and cashflow tracking or time tracking.
## How does TFT related to INCA
- TFT is the original creator farming token and can be used to buy/sell IT capacity (compute, storage, network).
- INCA-G is the new genertor token which produces INCA over 48 months.
TFT Holders can get into INCA and INCA-G in 2 ways
- buy INCA-G tokens: generates INCA over 4 year
- buy INCA tokens: 1 TFT buys 2 INCA tokens.
> note TFT will keep its original purpose, as well as getting a new purpose thanks to INCA-G.
## Technical TFT, INCA & INCA-G
#### Implementation
- TFT is a token on Stellar blockchain (the original farming token)
- INCA is a token on Solana Blockchain (as digital currency for Internet Capacity)
- INCA-G Implemented as an NFT on the Solana Blockchain.
#### Metadata for INCA-G
- release date
- list of values, each value is nr of INCA's to be released in a month

# Plan B
Simple model where TFT can convert into INCA.
## Tokens
- 1 TFT -> 3 INCA
- the mechanism in which this happens needs to be defined
- max 4 billion INCA
## How to go from TFT to INCA
> please note TFT will keep its own purpose, TFT can be used to buy/sell IT capacity (compute, storage, network). INCA is a new token made for the DePIN space, TFT holders can voluntary choose to go from TFT to INCA.
- mechanism hasn't been defined yet
- there might be conditions to conversion
- vesting?
- requirement to put some cash in a liquidity pool?
- others?
## the 1 billion INCA expansion for the Ecosystem
- promotion through grants
- technical achievements (develop tech)
- reward for farmers and other contributors (expansion)
- peer2peer promotion program
Governance
- ThreeFold Wisdom Council, to be created, 9 people, 6 need to agree.
- 1 OurWorld (MWW)
- 1 ThreeFold DMCC (Adnan)
- 1 TF9 (Kristof)
- 1 Sikana (Greg)
- **5 people with name in community**
- Budgets get allocated to projects on http://git.threefold.info, clear stories with clear budget allocations and cashflow tracking or time tracking.
# Tokenomics
> this is only a suggestion, the DePIN advisor team will probably come up with improvements and other requirements.
The following is the chart suggesting how the INCA might be distributed.
```echarts

itemStyle: {
shadowBlur: 10,
shadowOffsetX: 0,
shadowColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)'
}
}
}
]
};
```
No INCA tokens are used for funding or reward of existing team, this all comes out of the historical TFT Tokens.
- The 75% is the big one and is for conversion of TFT to INCA (1 TFT becomes 3 INCA)
- The other 25% is all for rewarding the ecosystem to make INCA succesfull.

- 0-50% allows ThreeFold Token (TFT) holders to swap into INCA Cloud Tokens if they would like to switch Cloud.
- 25% of 1 Billion INCA is sold as a pre-sale for people who are buying cloud capacity from INCA Cloud.
- The 50% is the big one and is for conversion of TFT to INCA (1 TFT becomes 3 INCA)
- The other 25% is all for rewarding the ecosystem to make INCA succesfull.

# Liquidity Pool # ThreeFold Liquidity Pool
> Kristof: todo 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:
- 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:
- Our liquidity pool pair GOLD with either a 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:
- 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:
- 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:
- 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).
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:
- 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:
- 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:
- 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 participant’s contribution.
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
- 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.
### Link To Digital Asset Exchange in OurWorld Digital FreeZone
The mother company of ThreeFold is a holding company called OurWorld.
OurWorld also owns a Digital Freezone in which a lot of digital assets will be traded, the above described Liquidity Pool concept comes from there and ThreeFold (INCA) is one of the tokens traded on the OurWorld Digital Exchange.

- We believe a Guardian Circle has the potential to be as good as blockchain and more because Guardian Circles still provide human oversight over key decisions when needed, the bulk of transactions run automated.
- Circles enact decisions when their 9-99 member nodes reach consensus. They manage treasuries, set policies, enable collaboration between regional grids, and more.
- Their flexibility allows customization by each grid community based on local needs.

- We believe a Guardian Circle has the potential to be as good as blockchain and more because Guardian Circles still provide human oversight over key decisions when needed, the bulk of transactions run automated.
- Circles enact decisions when their 9-99 member nodes reach consensus. They manage treasuries, set policies, enable collaboration between regional grids, and more.
- Their flexibility allows customization by each grid community based on local needs.

# All Trust
What if in stead of not trusting anyone, we change the paradigm and we are going to trust everyone.
The TFGrid 4.0 system is built up out of actors, each actor is implemented inside a 3bot.
Some example actors
- farming: represents selected Grid Servives which run on top of 3nodes
- farming cooperative: a cooperative of farmers, working on behalf of many farmers, who don't want to manage their own operation
- 3node: manages one 3node and its operating system called ZOS
- OurVerse node: manages a OurVerse node, OurVerse can be installed on deskopts, phones, ...
- grid service: a grid service can be storage, compute, telecom, network services and can run on ZeroOS or OurVerse Node
- grid consumer: an actor who works on behalf of a consumer of services of tfgrid, and helps the user to deploy and manage solutions deployed on the grid, payments are done on behalf of user
All of these actors work together to make a super scalable network of services which can support millions (if not billions) of consumers & service providers.
## Farmers
- Invest in TFNodes or other OurVerse based Services e.g. web gateway, telco service (5G,sms), ...
- A Farmer invested in the required hardware to run these services.
- A Farmer or Farming Cooperative will operationally run the services (set billing parameters, monitor environment, manage the networks, optionally give support, ...). Farming Cooperatives define how they distribute the margin they make to their members.
- A Farmer can actively manage his own infrastructure or become part of a Farming Cooperative.
- Farmers make profit thanks to people using their infrastructure and optionally monthly fixed farming rewards.
## Grid Services
In TFGrid 4.0 hundreds if eventually not thousands of services can be deployed inside the ecosystem of a new internet
How does it work?
- Grid Services track used capacity (e.g. bandwidth, storage, rpc requests), report this capacity to the relevant farming actor (or farming cooperative).
- The Grid Consumer can talk to any of the Grid Services directly over OurVerse Reliable Message bus. The Consumer can ask for status reports, monitoring, or can ask for deployment of a serice or ask for a service request e.g. send SMS, send email, ask AI cloud ...
- The Farming Actor will use their flexible pricing policies to define the price for the request or deployed capacity.
- The Farming Actor will use OurVerse Pay to request payment (my means of request for IOU)
## IOU = I Owe You (Mutual Credit system)
- proofs of consumption & payment
- farmers & consumers agree on the IOU (think about like a checque in the old banking days)
- farmers & consumers sign both the IOU (done automatically by the actors using OurVerse for security)
- the farmer will request the OurVerse Pay Bridge to do the payment at regular intervals e.g. once a day.
- The OurVerse Pay Bridge is implemented inside a TFGrid Guardian Circle.
- The OurVerse Pay Bridge will safely aggregate the IUO's and ask the relevant Consumer Actor to do the payment (in future their might be the notion of escrow accounts, so Consumers need to park money before asking services with a chosen Bridge).
- Reputation of the Consumers is kept in the relevant TFGrid Guardian Circle, to make sure bad actors cannot cause harm.
## TFGrid Guardian Circle (our replace for blockchain)
- We believe in human chains, which acts and behaves as a blockchain but is directly linked to Humans rather than just a piece of code.
- A Guardian Circle is a group of minimum 9 people (max 99).
- Each person runs a 3bot who works on their behalf, so they don't have to do many tasks manually.
- The Guradian owned 3bots communicate over OurVerse which takes care of security, encryption, consensus and reliable message delivery.
- The OurVerse Concensus mechanism uses a derivate of Tendermint (see Kosmos blockchain ecosystem) to make sure that the consensus between the members is solid and done in time & space order.
- A Guardian Circle can own one or more Treasury Wallets which are wallets of money blockchains (Ethereum, Stellar), these wallets use multisignature between all signers of a Guardian Circle.
- The 3bots use VLang based DSL (Domain Specic coding Language) to describe the functionality.
- All required actions are executing using 3Script (our own scripting language, super high level and easy), these 3scripts get executed by all members of the Guardian Circle, only if each Guardian TFNode comes to the exact same conclusion the action will be executed.
- Typical actions as can be executed by a Guardian Circle
- voting
- roll up of IOU
- validation of TFGrid status and auditing of capacity as provided by TFGrid
- payments from Treasury as result of vote of roll up of IOU
- pricing mechanism
- billing for TfGrid Services
- If needed manual actions (checks) can be done by the humans behind a Gurdian Circle e.g. validate a price chain.
- Such a TFGrid Guardian Circle is ultra flexible, there can be millions of them and they can all work together, they can be made fully compatible with any chosen money blockchain or other financial institute.
- Its very easy for developers to extend capabilities of a Guardian Circle (alternative to smart contracts on blockchain)
