The Foundry coin (the main coin).

The network's coin: what funds it, what it funds, and how USDF revenue flows back to it.

What it is

the main coin is the Foundry network's coin. It is separate from USDF: USDF is the dollar for compute, the main coin is the coin that the network's revenue buys back.

1 USDF = $1 of compute, redeemable 1:1 for USDG at any time.

Where its fees go

Fees from trading the main coin on Pons fund the protocol reserve and free compute:

  1. Protocol reserve

    Held as USDG and USDC on Base and Robinhood Chain.

    70%
  2. Free credits pool

    Funds free compute for new users, referrals and campaigns.

    30%

Stakers receive nothing from these fees.

What flows back

40% of USDF revenue buys the main coin on the market: 30% is burned, 10% is added to stakers' stakes. See Fees and Staking.
