# 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.
|
|
|
|

## 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
|
