How It Works
At the base, nodes form the physical foundation. These are distributed computers that provide processing power, storage, and networking capabilities. Together, they create a global, community-powered infrastructure.
Until now, anyone could deploy nodes from their home or office and earn rewards simply for hosting and take part in a decentralized alternative to corporate-owned data centers. In return for their contributions, participants earn rewards. We call this process “farming.”
Starting this summer, farming is evolving. With the launch of the ThreeFold Marketplace, rewards will be based on actual usage. This shift unlocks new commercial potential and supports a more sustainable and dynamic decentralized network.

{{ farm_steps(
title="2. OFFER CAPACITY",
description="The capacity of the node gets verified, registered and secured on the ThreeFold Blockchain. Farmers can then list their resources on the ThreeFold Marketplace, making them available directly to users."
