| 47 | + <p> |
| 48 | + $RSS3 is the native token of the RSS3 ecosystem. It was |
| 49 | + introduced as a coordination layer for the network: a link to |
| 50 | + connect infrastructure, participation, and ecosystem growth. |
| 51 | + </p> |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + <p> |
| 54 | + RSSHub makes open information accessible. Folo makes it usable in |
| 55 | + everyday life. Together, they are key parts of the ecosystem. But |
| 56 | + products alone are not enough to sustain an open information |
| 57 | + system. |
| 58 | + </p> |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + <p> |
| 61 | + This ecosystem depends on many different roles. Some people |
| 62 | + maintain routes so data keeps flowing. Some operate instances that |
| 63 | + keep infrastructure running. Developers build applications and |
| 64 | + protocols on top. Others organize information into usable forms. |
| 65 | + Users create demand through reading, subscribing, filtering, and |
| 66 | + engaging with what they find valuable. |
| 67 | + </p> |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + <p> |
| 70 | + All of this activity moves the system forward. But the value it |
| 71 | + generates tends to gather at a few points, usually at the |
| 72 | + application layer. The people who keep the underlying |
| 73 | + infrastructure alive are rarely the ones who benefit from the |
| 74 | + growth that happens above it. Over time, maintenance slows down, |
| 75 | + infrastructure becomes less reliable, and the system weakens. This |
| 76 | + was a structural problem in the original RSS ecosystem. It proved |
| 77 | + that open information could reach massive scale, but it had no |
| 78 | + structure to sustain itself. |
| 79 | + </p> |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + <p>This is the problem $RSS3 is designed to address.</p> |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + <p> |
| 84 | + The RSS3 ecosystem already leaves a visible record of the work |
| 85 | + that keeps it running. Route maintenance can be tracked. Instance |
| 86 | + uptime can be measured. Application usage and protocol activity |
| 87 | + can also be seen. That makes it possible to build a shared layer |
| 88 | + across RSSHub, Folo, and the protocols and applications growing |
| 89 | + around them, so the people who sustain the ecosystem can also |
| 90 | + participate in the value it creates. |
| 91 | + </p> |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | + <p> |
| 94 | + Over time, $RSS3 will be integrated into both existing and future |
| 95 | + products across the ecosystem. RSSHub and Folo are the first |
| 96 | + places this begins. As new products are introduced, they can |
| 97 | + become part of the same system as well. The specific forms of |
| 98 | + integration will follow the pace of product development. |
| 99 | + </p> |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | + <p> |
| 102 | + The principle is straightforward: open information infrastructure |
| 103 | + should be sustainable, and the people who build and maintain it |
| 104 | + should share in what it creates. |
| 105 | + </p> |

| 108 | + |
| 109 | + <p>1,000,000,000 $RSS3 tokens were created at genesis on Feb 12th, 2022.</p> |

| 119 | + |
| 120 | + <p> |
| 121 | + The majority of the $RSS3 tokens were subject to long-term |
| 122 | + lockups. All vesting schedules have been completed. Details are as |

| 205 | + <strong>Private Token Sale</strong> |
| 206 | + Private token sale participants have purchase prices ranging |

| 244 | + Uniswap came from afterward. The remainder was subject to a |
| 245 | + 12-month cliff before a 48-month linear unlock. |
| 246 | + </li> |

| 248 | + <strong>Foundation</strong> |
| 249 | + The foundation is set to support the long-term development of |
