The $TURF token plays a central role in the network. It’s used to stake, prioritize, and process data interactions, while also powering rewards and incentives across the ecosystem.
1. Data Sourcing
-
Homesteading
Users can stake $TURF to claim “data territories”—specific domains where they contribute data. Higher-quality data from these zones earns greater rewards.
-
Seasonal Yields
Staking rewards change based on demand. During high-demand “data seasons,” contributors earn more for specific data types.
-
Cross-Pollination Bonuses
Users who stake across multiple data categories earn bonus rewards—encouraging diverse, multi-domain data contributions.
2. Transaction Processing
-
Intent-Based Prioritization
Requests tied to urgent or high-value data needs get faster processing in the network. The more aligned the request is with current demand, the higher its priority.
-
Batch Processing Discounts
Users can bundle similar data requests together to reduce transaction fees—making bulk queries more cost-effective.
