+
+In today's digital landscape, the development of a decentralized open-source Internet infrastructure marks a significant leap forward. However, while the foundational structure of this innovation brings promise, its inherent reliability isn't guaranteed. After more than five years of building and expanding the open-source ThreeFold Grid, it's now time we pivot towards commercialization. Ensuring a robust, dependable, and trustworthy offering becomes paramount. In this post, we'll share the various ways that the ThreeFold Grid is and will become reliable.
+
+### Technical Redundancy
+
+Our quantum safe storage ystem, coupled with replication, and web gateways, presents a pathway to achieve technical redundancy already. While these capabilities exist, we admit that at this time it is too complex for a starting user. Making this easier through refined tooling and a strong user experience will be imperative in order to allow a wide audience to take advantage here.
+
+### ThreeFold Cloud
+
+Our upcoming commercial offering, TF Cloud, will bolster reliability and trustworthiness. Through TF Cloud, we will need to provide comprehensive service, robust support, service level agreements (SLAs), and streamlined payment methods, including credit card options. The development of user-friendly tooling will significantly simplify and easen the process as well, enabling users to deploy and maintain reliable workloads effortlessly.
+
+### Farming Pools
+
+The introduction of farming pools in TF Grid 4.x will play an important role in fostering reliability as well. These pools not only contribute to resource pooling but also offer visibility into the network's participants. This transparency enhances trust and aids in identifying reliable contributors within a decentralized framework.
+
+### Establishing Reputation and Transparency
+
+Building a system that emphasizes reputation and complete visibility regarding service levels and uptimes is pivotal. By offering insights into each participant's performance metrics, Grid users will be able to more effectively choose a trusted provider.
+
+<br>
+
+In essence, through a combination of technical and strategic advancements, our journey towards a dependable and trustworthy decentralized Internet infrastructure is underway, setting the stage for the [next phase](/next) of ThreeFold.

-From a pure tech perspective, redundancy can be achieved by means of the quantum safe storage system, replication, Web Gateways, and more. However, this is too difficult for the starting user and we will need more tooling around it. Beyond that, in Grid 4.x, TF Cloud will provide support, Service Level Agreements, and easy credit card payments to provide a safe, smooth, and reliable experience. Farming pools will help as well, providing visibility into who is who and clarifying reputation regarding who reached which levels of service, uptime, and so on.
