FERMA — Friend Farm Whitepaper

Version: 2.0

Last updated: 2026-02-21

1. Executive Summary

FERMA is the in-game utility token powering Friend Farm, a Telegram Mini App (TMA) that blends casual farming loops with activity-driven rewards and on-chain/off-chain utility. Users farm in timed cycles, accelerate production via ads and social mechanics, and receive rewards through a combination of instant ad payouts and a monthly airdrop program.

FERMA is used to purchase in-game advantages (e.g., VIP access, dogs, automation, land) with a 5% discount when paying in FERMA. Friend Farm also offers FERMA bonds with 15% annual yield (APR) and an internal swap enabling conversion between supported assets inside the app. Deposits and withdrawals support USDT on TON and FERMA on BEP-20.

2. Background & Transition

The previous FERMA token utility was associated with the “Ferma Sosedi” game. As that game has been discontinued, FERMA’s primary utility and ecosystem focus transitions to Friend Farm (Telegram Mini App).

This whitepaper supersedes prior versions and describes the current utility, reward systems, and economic design principles for Friend Farm.

3. Product Overview: Friend Farm

Friend Farm is a Telegram Mini App where users operate a virtual farm. Core progression comes from production cycles, upgrades, and social collaboration.

3.1 Key Gameplay Features

Efficient Harvesting & Processing

• The farm operates in 12-hour cycles, which can be reduced through ads or friend assistance.

Instant Ad Rewards

• Users receive 0.0002 USDT per ad watched.

Monthly Airdrop (Pool Distribution)

• On the first day of each month, Friend Farm distributes a pool of USDT + 500 FERMA.

• The pool is allocated proportionally to user activity in the previous month, including (non-exhaustive):

– FSD balance

– TOP 100 ads viewers

– VIP status

Friend Help

• Friends can help reduce processing time and speed up production.

Boosts

• Boost items/features increase efficiency and/or earnings.

Referrals

• A referral program provides bonuses for inviting new players.

Daily Combo

• Users can guess the daily combination for quick rewards.

Deposits & Withdrawals

• Users can deposit and withdraw:

– USDT (TON)

– FERMA (BEP-20)

4. Token Utility: FERMA

FERMA functions as the primary utility token within Friend Farm.

4.1 In-App Payments (5% Discount)

Users can purchase certain in-game items and features with FERMA at a 5% discount compared with other supported payment options.

Examples of FERMA-enabled purchases:

• VIP access

• Dogs

• Automation

• Farms

4.2 In-Game Bonds (up to 15% APR)

Friend Farm offers USDT-denominated bonds providing a 10% annual percentage rate (APR).

Friend Farm offers FERMA-denominated bonds providing a 15% annual percentage rate (APR).

Design goals:

• Provide a long-term holding incentive for FERMA

• Support predictable user progression and retention mechanisms

Important: Bond terms (maturity, lockups, issuance limits, payout schedule, early redemption rules) must be considered authoritative only as shown in-app at the time of purchase.

4.3 Internal Swap

Friend Farm provides an internal swap feature enabling users to exchange supported assets within the app (availability, pairs, fees, and limits are defined in-app).

4.4 External Market Availability

FERMA may be traded externally on supported exchanges/markets. Market availability and liquidity are subject to change and depend on third-party venues.

5. Rewards & Distribution

Friend Farm uses multiple reward streams to align user activity with sustainable incentives.

5.1 Instant Rewards (Ads)

• 0.0002 USDT per ad watched.

Notes:

• Reward eligibility may include anti-fraud checks, daily caps, cooldowns, and regional ad inventory constraints.

• Ad reward rates can be adjusted to reflect revenue conditions.

5.2 Monthly Airdrop (Pool Mechanics)

• Distribution date: first day of each month

• Total pool: USDT + 500 FERMA

• Allocation: proportional to prior-month activity signals.

High-level formula (illustrative): UserShare = f(FSD balance, AdsWatched, VIP, TOP viewers)

The exact weighting is a governance/operations parameter and may be updated to preserve fairness and sustainability.

6. Assets & Networks

USDT (TON)

• Used for ad payouts, bonds, internal swap, and reward pools.

FERMA (BEP-20)

• Used for in-game purchases (discounted), bonds, internal swap, and external trading.

Users are responsible for selecting the correct network when depositing/withdrawing.

7. Economic Design Principles

Friend Farm’s economy is designed around:

1. Activity alignment: Rewards scale with sustained engagement rather than one-time actions.
2. Sustainability: Reward rates may be tuned to reflect ad revenue and operational costs.
3. Anti-fraud: Measures may include verification, rate limits, and pattern detection.
4. Utility-first token demand: Primary demand for FERMA comes from in-app benefits and programmatic incentives.

8. Risk Disclosures

This section highlights non-exhaustive risks.

Market risk: External price and liquidity can fluctuate materially.

Operational risk: Changes to ad inventory, payout rails, or app policies may affect rewards.

Smart contract / bridge risk: On-chain transfers depend on network security and correct address usage.

Regulatory risk: Rules for digital assets and in-app reward programs vary by jurisdiction.

User responsibility: Users should evaluate risks, avoid overexposure, and secure wallets/keys.
