What is Theta Fuel (TFUEL)?
Theta Fuel is the operational token of the Theta protocol. $TFUEL is different than Theta Token (THETA), so these two should not be mistaken for each other, as $TFUEL is the governance token of the Theta blockchain, which is supported by thousands of community-run Guardian nodes.
Why introduce a second currency at all?
- The utility and purpose of each token can first be distinguished thanks to this. While $TFUEL is used to fuel network transactions and operations, $THETA is utilized to stake and secure the network. Staking naturally reduces the amount of coin in circulation, thus this is required, but smart contracts and video relay transactions will also call for a highly liquid token that can handle millions of daily transactions.
- Second, the use of two tokens is required to address governance problems brought on by the use of a single token for both staking and operations. It would be simpler for a malicious actor to amass a sizable amount of that regularly traded token on the open market because the token used for operations must be liquid. They could potentially endanger the safety of the Theta Network by covertly obtaining a significant amount of the staking token if that same token is also used for staking. That risk is significantly reduced by dividing the two functionalities (staking and operations) into separate tokens
