ITO: WeFi's Initial Technology Offering

ITO is WeFi's mechanism for putting $WFI into circulation. No proof-of-work hardware. Activate ITO node software, and the protocol starts emitting WFI algorithmically. Stage 1 runs at 8 WFI per block per second.

Key Takeaways

  • ITO = Initial Technology Offering. WeFi's model for distributing $WFI through software node activation.
  • ITO Mining Units are software infrastructure products, not mining hardware.
  • 1,000,000,000 WFI total supply. 8-year emission schedule. Halving every 2 years.
  • Stage 1 current: 8 WFI per block per second. Stage 2 drops to 4 WFI.

What is ITO

What is the Initial Technology Offering?

ITO stands for Initial Technology Offering. It's WeFi's model for distributing $WFI without proof-of-work mining or hardware. You activate ITO node software through the WeFi platform, and the protocol emits WFI algorithmically according to a fixed schedule. Supply is hard-capped at 1 billion.

ITO is not a fundraising mechanism in the ICO sense. It's a technology bootstrapping system. Your node runs on WeChain's network, and the protocol distributes WFI back on a fixed schedule. Nodes amortize over time. Mining output decreases algorithmically. That's the design.

ITO Nodes

ITO Nodes: the engine of WeFi

ITO Nodes are the first product in the WeFi ecosystem. Each activated node mines WFI, runs on WeChain's network, and enables referral rewards. Over time, ITO units can be redeemed for Lite Nodes that validate the WeChain network.

How WFI mining works

WFI uses Proof-of-Stake consensus, but emission follows a transparent algorithmic schedule. Everyone can see exactly how much WFI enters circulation and when.

Step-by-step

How to activate ITO and start mining

1

Create WeFi account

Register on the WeFi app. Complete KYC verification to access ITO activation.

2

Fund your account

Deposit via fiat (bank transfer, SWIFT, SEPA, Apple Pay, Google Pay) or crypto.

3

Purchase ITO units

Navigate to the ITO section. Select activation size. Larger single activations carry a higher Pool Coefficient.

4

Activate

Confirm activation. The action is irreversible. Mining starts from the next block.

Important: Activation is irreversible. Once ITO units are activated, they cannot be recovered or refunded. Nodes amortize algorithmically. Mining output decreases over time. Verify all details through official WeFi channels before activating.

ITO vs ICO vs IDO

How ITO differs from ICO and IDO

ITO is purpose-built for technology bootstrapping, not capital fundraising. The differences are structural.

Protocol mechanics

Four rules governing WFI emission

WFI emission follows four algorithmic rules. They interact to manage supply release, maintain fairness, and prevent token concentration.

Systematic Halving

Emission cuts in half every two years: 8 → 4 → 2 → 1 WFI per block per second. Total supply approaches 1 billion but never exceeds it.

Algorithmic Amortization

Each ITO unit has a lifecycle. Mining output decreases algorithmically over time. To maintain output levels, activate additional units.

Pool Coefficient

A single $1,000 activation is more efficient than four $250 activations. The coefficient rewards larger single-activation sizes.

Mathematical Supply Control

Energy burn acts as a guardrail on emission. The more the ecosystem burns Energy, the more controlled the supply curve stays.

Pool Coefficient by activation size

$1001.2×
$2501.5×
$5002.0×
$1,0003.0×

Ecosystem connections

Where ITO connects in the WeFi ecosystem

ITO is the primary distribution channel for $WFI. Every WFI in circulation outside staking and liquidity allocations comes through ITO node activation. WeChain, Energy, and the WeFi Card all connect back to the token ITO distributes.

$WFI Token

ITO is the primary mechanism putting WFI into circulation. 86.2% of total supply distributes through node activation.

WeChain

ITO nodes participate in WeChain's node network. Units can be redeemed for Lite Nodes that validate the chain.

Energy

WFI mined through ITO can be held to generate Energy, which reduces WeFi Card transaction fees from 3% to 1.5%.

WeFi Card

Card fees depend on Energy balance. Energy comes from holding WFI. WFI comes from ITO. The chain runs from node activation to fee reduction.

FAQ

Common questions about ITO

An ITO unit is a software infrastructure product in the WeFi ecosystem. Activating it starts algorithmic WFI mining through the WeFi protocol. No hardware needed. The unit runs on WeFi's cloud infrastructure.
No. Activation is irreversible. Once you activate ITO units, they are operational and cannot be returned or refunded. This is a hard protocol constraint, not a policy. Verify all details through official WeFi channels before activating.
Each ITO unit's mining output decreases over time according to the protocol's amortization schedule. The unit doesn't malfunction. It produces less WFI over its lifecycle by design. To maintain output, activate additional units.
No. ITO mining runs on WeFi's cloud infrastructure. There's no mining rig, no GPU, no physical hardware. You activate software node units through the WeFi app.
The Pool Coefficient is a multiplier applied to your activation based on size. A single $1,000 activation has a 3.0× coefficient. Four $250 activations each carry a 1.5× coefficient. Larger single activations produce more WFI per dollar. The coefficient applies at activation, not retroactively.
WeFi has not publicly disclosed a specific date for the Stage 1 to Stage 2 transition. Stage 1 runs at 8 WFI per block per second. Stage 2 will run at 4 WFI. The transition triggers algorithmically at the scheduled block interval. Follow official WeFi channels for updates.
Local bank transfer, international transfers (SWIFT / SEPA), card payment (Mastercard, JCB), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and crypto (USDT and other supported assets).
Mined WFI accumulates in your WeFi account. You can hold it to generate Energy, use it as collateral in the Decentralized Credit System, or trade it on supported exchanges (BitMart, BingX, PancakeSwap). After WeChain mainnet, WFI becomes the native gas token.
ICO is a fundraising mechanism where tokens are sold for capital. ITO is a technology bootstrapping model where node activation distributes tokens algorithmically over 8 years with halving. ICOs are typically one-time events. ITO runs on a predetermined schedule until supply is exhausted.
DeoFin is an independent informational resource and does not provide investment advice. ITO involves irreversible activation of software nodes. Risks include protocol changes, amortization reducing output over time, and WeChain mainnet not yet live. Verify all details through official WeFi channels before making any decisions.
