What is Factom (FCT)?

Factom (FCT) is a blockchain protocol designed to help businesses store their data easily, securely, and save costs. Factom is the first blockchain platform that can be used to solve real-world business problems by providing an immutable record-keeping system. This makes it easy for businesses to store data on the blockchain.


What is the FCT Token?

Factom blockchain has two main types of tokens:

Factoid

This is the currency in Factom’s system used by Federated servers to maintain its network.

Any data that wants to be written to the Factom blockchain needs to be transferred, and these servers will receive that Factoid.

Entry Credits (EC)

If you want to use Factom, you need to change Factoid to EC. This is the second form of currency in Factom.

The exchange rate will be determined by the network server with the current adjustment level of $ 0.001 for 1 EC.

EC coins cannot be exchanged; they can only be used to pay for system operations or to vote for servers. Factoid coins that have been changed to EC will be removed from the system.

Besides, users can also use Factom without Factoid. Servers can sell EC to customers paying by BTC or by credit card.

What are FCT tokens used for?

In Factom’s system, Factoid is the main currency in it. Factoid is used to pay for the internet server and to maintain it.

Users who want to store data need to pay Factoid for the server. Besides, Factoid is also used to convert into EC.

The fact that after changing from Factoid to EC, Factoid will be destroyed, leading to the fact that Factoid will become more scarce.

How does Factom work?

Factom is made up of many components, including inter-network servers (Federated servers) and test servers (Audit servers).

Internet servers are network nodes in a network that allows users to write data to Factom series. These servers will be paid for this service by Factoids (Factom’s money unit).

The test server does not have the function of suspending data into the chain, nor is it paid for the service, but it oversees the entire network, ensuring the control of all fraudulent rows of internet servers.

Both types of servers will be evaluated by the user, if the network server performs dishonest actions and will be badly evaluated by the user, the test server with the highest rank will become a new internet server.
