The FTR lexicon.
Plain-language definitions of the terms used across the FTR rail. All descriptions cover network function; none are investment advice.
2× buy-and-match
When a deal is settled, twice the FTR needed for ambassador payouts is bought from the open market — half is paid out, half is staked — so buy pressure exceeds sell pressure by design.
Ambassador
A trade facilitator who brings suppliers and buyers to the marketplace and earns FTR commissions, including lifetime commission on a referred supplier's future deals.
Buy-back & burn
A share of commission revenue buys FTR from the market; 70% is burned permanently and 30% is recycled into rewards — a fixed, hard-coded split.
Cashback
A performance rebate paid in FTR on the platform fees a staker generates or pays (3–10% by tier). It is a rebate on activity, not a passive yield.
Claim-to-earn
Rewards accrue in your dashboard but must be actively claimed. Unclaimed rewards slow the effective emission rate.
Collateral & health ratio
FTR (and supported assets) locked to back a trade-credit line. The health ratio is public and updates on-chain; positions liquidate below 1.05×.
Deflation crossover
The point where token removals — burn, staking locks and the match stake — exceed emissions, after which net liquid supply shrinks each year.
Epoch budget halving
Emission is budget-based: each epoch has a fixed FTR budget; when it is exhausted through claims, reward rates halve into the next epoch (80/50/30/20/12/8M).
FDV
Fully diluted value — reference price × total supply. A modelling figure for scale, not a market valuation or a forecast.
IDO
The public token sale at the $0.020 reference. It provides access to a utility token; it is not an investment offer.
Liquidation
Mechanical closure of a credit position when its health ratio falls below 1.05× — a fixed threshold, not a discretionary decision or forecast.
MiCA utility token
FTR's classification under the EU MiCA framework: a token that provides access to platform functions and confers no equity, dividend, or ownership rights.
Net supply
Circulating FTR after emissions minus removals — inflationary in the early years, deflationary after the crossover.
Reference price ($0.020)
A unit of account used to denominate fees and rewards. It is not a market price, a floor, or a forecast of value.
Reward pool
The ecosystem allocation that funds onboarding, activity and trade rewards through the epoch engine.
Settlement
Clearing an invoice on-chain directly between counterparties. Final on confirmation, typically in about 1.8 seconds.
Staking tiers
Bronze (10,000 FTR), Silver (50,000) and Gold (250,000). Higher tiers earn higher cashback and additional perks.
TGE
Token generation event — when tokens are minted and the initial circulating supply (~61M FTR) is released.
Total supply
The fixed cap of 1,000,000,000 FTR. Minted once and never expanded.
Utility token
A token that provides access to platform functions — settlement, cashback, governance — rather than a financial instrument or security.
Vesting
The scheduled release of allocated tokens over time (for example, team tokens: an 18-month cliff followed by 36-month linear vesting).
Velocity sinks
Mechanisms that keep FTR in the ecosystem — staking, tier holding, claim friction, subscriptions, escrow and governance — reducing sell pressure.
