 ## Introduction
 
-Backups of the TFGrid are available on websites such as [ThreeFold Ninja backup](https://dashboard.bknd1.ninja.tf/) and anyone can host an instance of the ThreeFold Grid. Concretely, this means that you can participate in the ThreeFold ecosystem by hosting your own instance of the complete set of all ThreeFold services on your own domain! 
+Anyone can host an instance of the ThreeFold Grid by deploying grid backups. Concretely, this means that you can participate in the ThreeFold ecosystem by hosting your own instance of the complete set of all ThreeFold services on your own domain! 
 
 Trusted guardians of the ThreeFold Grid can then be listed in the ThreeFold Manual, thus providing to users around the world different instances of the ThreeFold Grid in multiple locations, ensuring a resilient system that is highly decentralized and truly open-source.

-## Bootstrap Image for Certified 3Node
-
-After creating a farm, to enable the certified farming status on your 3Node, you need to provide your farm ID and your farm name to the ThreeFold Support. You can do this by either using the [ThreeFold live chat](https://threefoldfaq.crisp.help/en/) or by sending an email at [info@threefold.io](mailto:info@threefold.io). The ThreeFold team will then send you a bootstrap image for your certified 3Node. You will need to replace the existing bootstrap image present on the USB key attached to the 3Node with this new bootstrap image for certified 3Node. Simply follow the steps below:
-
-* Download the zip file containing your new bootstrap image.
-* When you unzip the file, you’ll see a file named `BOOTX64.EFI` within the `BOOT/EFI` directory.
-  * Simply copy this file onto the USB key within the same directories that exist there, to overwrite the existing `BOOTX64.EFI` file.
-* Insert the USB key in the 3Node and boot it again.
-
-Your 3Node has now a bootstrap image for certified 3Node.
-
 ## Expert Mode
 
 You can use the [expert mode](https://v3.bootstrap.grid.tf/expert) to generate specific Zero-OS bootstrap images.

+
+## Introduction
+
+We introduce the governance of ThreeFold and give some context around ThreeFold in general.
+
+## Project History
+
+The project is grateful of the support of its community and of the commercial entity TFTech.
+
+ThreeFold is fundamentally a decentralized initiative. Within this framework, ThreeFold Dubai plays a pivotal role in championing and advancing the ThreeFold Grid and the broader movement.
+
+Our founders have largely retained their tokens, with only minimal sales, if any. Their intent is clear: they plan to hold onto their tokens until the grid achieves global recognition and the token value surpasses 0.2 USD.
+
+Some people have claimed that some ThreeFold founders sold tokens and dumped the price, this is not true and can be verified using our blockchain. The ThreeFold founders have invested millions of USD in the project so far. Lots of our team work on reduced salary, some even without any salary.
+
+## Type of Token
+
+The regulators and legal advisors believe that we are a payment token with some flavor of a utility token (hybrid).
+
+We conducted research and obtained legal counsel in multiple jurisdictions:
+
+- Switzerland
+- Belgium
+- Dubai
+- Singapore
+
+For more information, [read the legal opinions](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kNu2cFjMkgqdadrOOQTTC5FPAM4OgKEb/view?usp=drive_link).
+
+## Use of Funds
+
+We have different tools and features to make sure that all our funds are used properly, such as multi-signature wallets, the [ThreeFold DAO](./dao/tfdao.md) and the [ThreeFold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/).
+
+## Organic Growth
+
+As a group, we have invested more than 10m USD in cash and time.
+
+We never organized a pump and dump or any other synthetic mechanism to boost the token price and benefit from this. We believe in organic growth and the TFT going up as result of utilization and expansion.
+
+## Genesis Pool
+
+The Genesis pool was based on real hardware located in Dubai and Ghent.
+
+The tokens out of this pool are safe and well managed. We are acquiring a lot of them with ThreeFold Cloud (ThreeFold Dubai).
+
+For more information on the Genesis pool, [read this section](./genesis_pool.md).
