This is referred to as a public ICO. Some ICOs were not very clean in how they created hype and convinced people to invest. Because of our decision not to do a public ICO, we have not been able to raise much money, but we feel that this was more aligned with our values. - -We have sold some TFT over the counter but please note every buyer could at any point in time use these TFTs to buy IT capacity, this makes these TFT purposeful, even from the very start. - -## Farming Model Improvements - -In Q2 2020 we were launching TF Grid 2.0 with updated minting rules. As part of these farming rules the max number of tokens became 4 billion, which changes the optics of the original size of the genesis token pool. - -In Q3 2021 we launched TF Grid 3.0 which has again brought improvement to the farming model. Its up to the farmers to choose if they want to change to the new farming model or not. - -### TFT Versions - -| | version 1 Rivine | version 1 Stellar | version 2 Stellar | -| ------------------------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------- | -| blockchain tech | Rivine, proof of blockstake | Public, Stellar | Public, Stellar | -| on public blockchain | march 2018 | 2020 May | 2020 May | -| farmed since | +-2017 | 2020 May | tbd | -| freely transferable (\*) | YES | YES | YES | -| complete blockchain feature set | YES | YES | YES | -| decentralized exchange | YES (atomic swap) | YES (Stellar) | YES (Stellar) | -| public exchange | BTC Alpha till Dec 2019 | Stellar | Stellar, BTC Alpha & Liquid (until August 2022) | -| freely tradable on exchange | YES | YES | YES | -| Name on Blockchain | TFT | TFTA | TFT | -| Purpose | v1 token | Staking Pool | Trading Pool | - -## Migration - -### Migration from TFTv1 Rivine to TFTv1 Stellar (2020) - -- TF Tech decided to no longer support development of Rivine, at this time there are better technologies available as blockchain -- The Foundation investigated many blockchain platforms & recommended to use Stellar -- Jimber (company which maintains the wallet, which is open source code), has made the changes in the wallet to be able to support this new blockchain -- The conversation had to be a mandatory one, because otherwise there would be the potential of double-spending problems over both simultaneously-active blockchains -- What happened here can be compared to a website deciding to change the database backend (change from e.g. MS Sql to Oracle). The users of the website should not have to be aware of this migration -- Every user had to do the transaction themselves, no developer or anyone else had control over this migration step.

There are no centralized issuers. Tokens have not been created out of thin air. - -While the ThreeFold Grid can expand, a maximum of 1 billion TFTs can ever be in circulation. This limit ensures stability of value and incentivization for all stakeholders. - -TFT lives on the Stellar Blockchain. TFT holders benefit from a big ecosystem of proven wallets and mediums of exchange. - -By employing Stellar technology, TFT transactions and smart contracts are powered by one of the most energy-efficient blockchains available. Furthermore, TFT is the medium of exchange on the greenest internet network in the world. The market for farming, cultivating and trading TFT is open to all. - -Anyone with internet connection, power supply and necessary hardware can become a Farmer or trade ThreeFold tokens (TFT). - -By farming, buying, holding, and utilizing ThreeFold Tokens, you are actively supporting the expansion of the ThreeFold Grid and its use cases — creating a more sustainable, fair, and equally accessible Internet. - -## Proof-of-Capacity - -ThreeFold uses proof-of-capacity to mint tokens. Since the genenis pool, all tokens that are being minted are the result of farming. Minting will stop during 2024, to keep the total amount of TFT at 1 billion, instead of the previously planned 4 billion.
