The TRUF token serves as the backbone of the Truflation ecosystem, providing utility, governance, and incentives for participants.
1. Data Provider and Node Operation
For Data Providers to join the network they will need to stake TRUF tokens in the Governance Portal. This ensures commitment and alignment with the protocol.
These staked TRUF tokens will also allow Data Providers to participate in the governance of the overall protocol, to authenticate and adjudicate protocol direction.
2. Data Provision and Data Consumption
Users of Truflation will pay TRUF tokens to access data on the network. These rewards will also be used to further reward data providers and contributors across the network.
3. Governance and Decentralization
TRUF token holders can participate in the Truflation governance by staking and locking their tokens for designated periods of time. As a result of this staking and locking mechanism, users receive Vote-Escrow TRUF tokens (veTRUF). veTRUF tokens grant holders voting rights in various protocol decision-making proposals.
Conclusion
The TRUF token an integral part of Truflation’s mission to deliver transparent, decentralized economic data. By fostering collaboration, rewarding contributors, and enabling governance, the TRUF token drives innovation and scalability across the ecosystem.
