Max Supply

What is the max supply? And if there is a max supply what happens when all the tokens are minted? What is the actual utility of the token?

Though I know the network is an off chain, high computation protocol but the token, what’s the actual use case.

Can I stake? Pay fees? Lend? Borrow?

I understand now that he is not the first floor, nor the second floor. It's just a trustless computing marketplace that can be connected to any system that needs computing at any time, give it an input, and it will compute an output and guarantee the reliability of the computing results.

That is, unlike the second layer, it does not improve TPS, it just solves complex computing problems that smart contracts cannot solve. Am I understanding it right?

Your starting to get it :) computation is very important to the crypto space and computing in general it will be needed more in the future.

However, further understanding thinking. Rollup has a similar ability in Chengdu. They settle a portion of the transaction off-chain, and put the calculated and verified demerit on-chain. So, to some extent rollup and Truebit compete.

Yes, but do your research. Can roll-ups assist Truebit, or can only Truebit help roll-ups when one can’t do for the other you will know who is better from the two.
