# Use Cases

<mark style="color:purple;">**Platform fees payment:**</mark> The Tradeleaf Platform business model is similar to the traditional model – clients pay fees to the platform for solutions and services they use. However, clients can also use TLF tokens to pay fees at a discounted rate.

<mark style="color:purple;">**Remote experts hire:**</mark> The Remote Experts Marketplace houses numerous third-party service providers and consultants. Tradeleaf Platform traders and liquidity providers can hire experts or pay them for consultations and other services with TLF tokens. This system will allow trade finance experts and professionals all around the globe to earn TLF tokens for selling their services.

<mark style="color:purple;">**Exchange:**</mark> Provides more convenient economic tools for traditional trade finance market participants. Customers could exchange TLF tokens obtained from rewards and cashback for fiat or other cryptocurrencies using a licensed service provider connected to the platform.

<mark style="color:purple;">**Premium services access:**</mark> Tradeleaf's business model also includes a "freemium" strategy, which requires clients to pay for additional services like advanced analytics, data storage size increase, loT management system access, and CRM. Basic features are available for users for free.

<mark style="color:purple;">**Lending Pools:**</mark> Locking tokens in lending pools is required to fund trade operations on the Tradeleaf Platform. Crypto liquidity providers lock tokens until pools are liquidated due to successful deal closure. There are two types of lending pools - stablecoins lending pools and TLF token lending pool.

* Stablecoins lending pools;
* A stablecoin lending pool opens if during the deal submission process traders agree on accepting financing in crypto. The pool will reflect all the necessary information about the deal, including funding amount, APY, trade execution period, and accepted stablecoin (USDT, USDC, or BUSD);
* TLF token lending pool;
* TLF token lending pool is unrelated to the deal submission process. Instead, it is a continuous source of liquidity to fulfill financing requests as fast as possible.
