Energy is not transferrable. When burning SUB to create energy, a multiplier (known as the energy coefficient) greater than 1 is used, meaning that users will be able to perform more actions with 1 energy -than if they spent 1 SUB directly. For example, with an energy coefficient of 5x, Alice can perform 5x more actions with 1 energy than she can with 1 SUB. +than if they spent 1 SUB directly. For example, with an energy coefficient of 2x, Alice can perform 2x more actions with 1 energy than she can with 1 SUB. Energy can be created in a different wallet than the one that burnt the SUB tokens, allowing friends or applications to let you have energy without having to worry about SUB tokens. diff --git a/docs/basics/lightpaper/architecture/Energy.md b/docs/basics/lightpaper/architecture/Energy.md index 78029854..349609b9 100644 --- a/docs/basics/lightpaper/architecture/Energy.md +++ b/docs/basics/lightpaper/architecture/Energy.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- id: energy -title: About Energy +title: Energy displayed_sidebar: homeSidebar --- @@ -8,10 +8,10 @@ Energy allows usage of the Subsocial network without tokens, and has a few key p Energy is not actually a token, and cannot be transferred between accounts, and transaction fees are lower when using energy.

For more details, you can read it [here](/docs/basics/lightpaper/architecture/energy). By using this method, app developer can onboard their user easily by burning their own tokens for them. This can make the user experience for the app much better by making the user not have to worry about buying tokens to use the app. To see how to do it, you can read it [here](/docs/develop/sdk/energy)
