TCash — Alternate Currency for the Productive Economy

The Role of TCash in Treasurenet​

It is Treasurenet’s native credit-based currency, designed to move productivity—not just capital.

Where traditional money relies on central authority and fiat collateral, TCash is minted against real-world output and governed by transparent on-chain reputation (REP) and UNIT collateral.

Core Utilities​

🧾 1. Medium of Exchange (MoE)​

TCash serves as the primary currency within the Treasurenet ecosystem:

  • Used for transactions between participants
  • Accepted for funding and repayment in Otter streams
  • Redeemable via on-chain swaps or stablecoin bridges

💰 2. Unit of Account (UoA)​

  • TCash-denominated pricing anchors value to productive output, not volatile speculation
    Stream contracts, repayments, and reserve calculations are all expressed in TCash

🏦 3. Store of Credit Value (SoCV)​

Unlike fiat currencies that inflate through arbitrary issuance, TCash is:

  • Minted based on earned REP and collateralized UNIT
  • Limited by system-wide production and credit conditions
  • Governed by DAO-reviewed monetary policy (Prime Rate)
