What is Farming?
ThreeFold Farming is a unique concept in the ThreeFold ecosystem where individuals (farmers) can:
- Deploy nodes (3Nodes) that connect to the ThreeFold Grid
- Contribute computing resources (data, cloud and network) to the decentralized ThreeFold Grid
- Earn rewards whenever your nodes provide capacity and are actively utilized on the grid.
- Support a peer-to-peer cloud infrastructure alternative to centralized providers
The Power of 3Node
Anyone can become a ThreeFold Farmer by running nodes that contribute capacity to the grid.
3NODES
The ThreeFold Nodes are self-healing and autonomous. They provide data, network and cloud resources to the ThreeFold Platform, becoming active contributors to a decentralized digital infrastructure. Each node still delivers a powerful combination of modern technology and thoughtfully crafted design.
A new bare metal operating system Zero-OS supports all required Web2 and Web3 workloads and allows millions of nodes to operate in full autonomous mode providing lower cost, better energy efficiency, more reliability and security.
A Quantum Safe Storage System The Quantum Safe Storage System is capable of storing data indestructible, efficient, and ultra-scalable. Previous versions of this system are widely used to store Zetabytes of information by large organizations.
A Quantum Safe Network System Mycelium can look for the shortest path, has a built-in naming & CDN (Content Delivery) system, can survive disaster and network cuts much more efficiently as is possible today.
Build your own: DIY 3Node
ThreeFold makes it easy to become part of the network by setting up your own node. With compatible hardware, a stable internet connection, and a few simple steps, you can get started quickly and start contributing to the network and earning utilization rewards.

The Evolution of Farming
A new chapter for capacity providers in the decentralized internet
With the upcoming ThreeFold Marketplace (expected late Summer 2025), farming is evolving. It’s now easier than ever to share resources and earn based on real usage through a transparent, peer-to-peer platform.

Why It Matters
This evolution introduces clearer commercial opportunities and a more accessible path for farmers to support and benefit from the growth of the decentralized internet.
