# Ecosystem and Technical Infrastructure

* **Core Infrastructure:** TPCoin is mandatory for core ecosystem functions including DeAI TPAs, AI Model conversions, and Meta Energy participation.
* **Layer-2 Bridging:** After Ethereum mainnet deployment, TPCoin will be bridged to scalable L2s such as Polygon and Base. In the third year, TPCoin will also be bridged to a Layer 1 blockchain to enable faster transactions, lower gas fees, and greater security, further strengthening the performance and scalability of the ecosystem.
* **Usage Metering:** On-chain usage tags enable compute cost tracking per transaction.
* **User Accessibility:** Fiat-to-TPCoin conversion available via gateway integrations, facilitating non-crypto onboarding.
