Understanding the TRIAS and NetX Ecosystem: Technology, Tokens, and Governance

The relationship between TRIAS -1 Layer Tech and NetX is foundational and synergistic, characterized by a dynamic interplay where growth in one fosters expansion in the other. TRIAS -1 Layer Tech, which is also known as the Trust Smart Chain, serves as the underlying infrastructure where all projects utilizing this technology are housed. This includes major components such as Leviatom, Tusima, and Triathon, each contributing unique functionalities to the ecosystem.

NetX, in contrast, represents the collection of all ecosystem projects connected through the TRIAS -1 Layer Tech. It acts as the cohesive fabric that binds these individual projects, facilitating their interaction and interoperability. As the ecosystem expands with more projects, NetX grows correspondingly, driving increased utilization and reliance on the foundational TRIAS -1 tech. This growth not only enhances the capabilities of the NetX ecosystem but also underscores the importance and utility of the TRIAS -1 Layer Tech as the backbone that supports and enables this expanding network.

Essentially, TRIAS -1 Layer Tech provides the critical infrastructure and technological support that allows the NetX ecosystem to thrive. As new projects are developed and integrated into the NetX fabric, they leverage the robust, secure, and efficient foundation provided by the TRIAS -1 tech, leading to a natural and mutually beneficial growth of both the infrastructure and the operational ecosystem. This interdependence ensures that as NetX evolves and expands, it simultaneously contributes to the broader application and enhancement of TRIAS technology.

Within this integrated framework, the TRIAS ecosystem employs distinct tokens each serving specific functions. The primary token, $TRIAS, acts as the core token for the Trust Smart Chain. Meanwhile, $TAS functions as the gas token, utilized specifically for covering the costs of transactions and operations on the Trust Smart Chain, ensuring the smooth and efficient execution of processes. $TAS can only be obtained through $TRIAS. Lastly, $NGT stands as the governance token for the entire NetX ecosystem. This structured approach to token use not only delineates clear roles and utilities within the ecosystem but also enhances governance and operational efficiency across the various interconnected platforms.
