+# TF Marketplace
+
+## Introduction
+
+The TF Marketplace is a decentralized cloud platform that operates on a mutual credit [TFP Points](./tfp.md) system, connecting suppliers (providers) and consumers through a sovereign, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure network.
+
+## Core Documentation
+
+This repository contains detailed specifications for all components of the TF Marketplace:
+
+- [**TF Marketplace**](./marketplace.md) - The platform for discovering and acquiring resources and services
+  - [**Mutual Credit TFP System**](./points.md) - How value is exchanged between suppliers and consumers
+- [**Products & Services**](./products.md) - Overview of all offerings in the marketplace

+- [**TFP = ThreeFold Tokens**](./tfp.md) = mutual credit
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- **Sovereignty**: Users maintain control over their resources and data
+- **Decentralization**: No central authority controls the marketplace
+- **Fairness**: Transparent pricing and value exchange
+- **Sustainability**: Balanced contribution and consumption model
+- **Efficiency**: Direct matching of suppliers and consumers
+
+## Participants
+
+- **Suppliers**: Provide resources and services (farmers, gateway providers, solution providers)
+- **Consumers**: Utilize resources and services (end users, developers, organizations)
+- **Dual Roles**: Participants can be both suppliers and consumers in different contexts
+
+## Value Exchange
+
+The marketplace operates on a mutual credit [TFP Points](./tfp.md) system where:
+
+- TFP represent value exchanged within the marketplace
+- Suppliers earn TFP by providing resources and services
+- Consumers spend TFP to utilize resources and services
+- TFP can be exchanged for traditional currencies through [liquidity pools](./tfp.md) when needed
