# Freedom Coin Overview

FC represents a share of ownership and participation in the network, allocated based on the level of user engagement. Every time a user completes a meaningful activity such as meeting a new person, maintaining a relationship, or expanding their network through referrals, they receive FC.

The primary purposes of FC are:

* **Recognizing participation**: FC is FC is a way for the system to recognize  that a user is creating real value for the network. Unlike traditional platforms where users are the product, FC turns users into owners who own a piece of the network and its benefits.
* **Empowering users**: FC is a way for users to empower themselves. When FC is converted to an on-chain coin after TGE, it will have real market value. Those who have accumulated FC through active participation will become foundational coin holders of the network.
* **Freedom economy**: FC is designed to create a freedom economy where FC value is operated primarily based on the community's freedom. As the network grows, the value of these connections also increases.

*After TGE, FC will be converted to an official on-chain coin. Users will be able to trade, stake, and use FC for various purposes within the ecosystem.*
