This past weekend, some of the team hosted a group of passionate entrepreneurs and actors working on innovative planet-first people-first projects in Africa, or interested in supporting Africa.
|
||||
*The below is an update from a summit we held here in Zanzibar this past weekend called the Africa Regenerative Futures Summit. It was a follow-up of [an event we hosted in July](https://youtu.be/GIBlmID7g5o?t=246&si=KYEExcPFHUCU7HKY). And we aim to continue to host this as a series of gatherings around OurWorld, ThreeFold, and other planet-first people-first projects and individuals who are supporting or want to support Tanzania and the African continent as a whole.*
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
One key outcome was collaborating on an action plan with friends from Dar Es Salaam and Kenya that includes the deployment of ThreeFold infrastructure locally and a series of co-hosted developer sessions and hackathons in 2024.
|
||||
On the 16th of November, we had a roundtable covering important relevant topics (Cyber Pandemic, AI, Quantum Computing, etc.) and explaining the core vision of OurWorld and ThreeFold in context to what is currently happening in today’s world as a whole.
|
||||

Traditionally, we've been mere consumers of cloud services, relinquishing control over our data and infrastructure to large companies. However, with ThreeFold's autonomous technology, the paradigm shifts. Now, individuals can host their cloud infrastructure with ease, without the need for technical expertise.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Becoming a cloud service provider isn't just about financial gain; it's about creating connections and driving positive change. By investing in a decentralized autonomous cloud, individuals not only secure a better future for themselves but also for their communities and the planet.
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
In a world where technology shapes our daily lives, the opportunity to be a cloud service provider is a step towards a more sustainable, connected, and rewarding future—for everyone.

Recently we formally announced Dunia Yetu, in collaboration with the ICT Commission of Tanzania and Arthur Brock, the founder of Holochain.
|
||||
Last Friday, we were pleased to formally and publicly announce Dunia Yetu, together with Dr. Nkundwe M. Mwasaga, the Director General of Tanzania’s ICT Commission, and Arthur Brock, co-founder of Holochain. The announcement was made in front of an audience of representatives from the Tanzanian Government and the tech community of Dar Es Salaam. More than 200 people have signed up, expressing their interest in taking part.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Our plans include coding academies and innovation hubs across Tanzania, and the deployment of sovereign infrastructure on top of which local developers can store, build, and deploy.
|
||||
Ideated in November 2023 between ThreeFold and a group of developers and tech innovators from Dar Es Salaam, Dunia Yetu, which means Our World in Swahili, is a collaborative and co-owned movement to redefine the digital landscape in Tanzania and East Africa, empower coders, spur economic development, and build a self-reliant sovereign digital ecosystem for a better digital future.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Read more about Dunia Yetu [here](https://www.threefold.io/blog/dunia-yetu/) and stay tuned for what's next!
|
||||
In the future, Dunia Yetu will introduce coding academies to empower startups and entrepreneurs in Dar Es Salaam and beyond to build the apps of the future – faster, more secure, more reliable, and built on top of local infrastructure deployed in Tanzania.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
*Take a look at some coverage Dunia Yetu received in Tanzanian News [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqYFAa2NXLg&t=895s).*
|
||||
_“We believe young people in this country have all the talent to build together their digital future and we want to empower them as much as we can,”_ said ThreeFold co-founder, Kristof De Spiegeleer.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
_The government of Tanzania represented by "The Director-General of the ICT Commission, Dr Mkundwe Mwasaga has fully endorsed the roll out and establishment of such a nationwide internet._
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Further, alongside the ICT Commission, we will create a network of distributed innovation hubs providing space for events, coding academy workshops and collaborative projects.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
_“We are building these centers, starting with six regions in Tanzania, to ensure that we can create an environment where talented young people even in the country’s rural areas can provide their innovation,”_ said Dr. Mwasaga of the ICT Commission.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
At the event, Holochain co-founder Arthur Brock also presented, and will be part of this deployment. Holochain is a world-renowned project that enables decentralized applications to be developed without recourse to blockchain technology, thus achieving greater security and performance.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Said Arthur Brock, co-founder of Holochain, _“We have been building our framework for decentralized applications for years to support new social applications across the globe, and we are delighted to share as much of our knowledge as we can to coders and developers of Tanzania who want to build a new digital future.”_
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the first Tanzanian community projects involved in Dunia Yetu include Chatafisha, led by Victor Muhagachi and David Machuche, which aims to regenerate marginalized communities through innovative technologies, and Sarufi, led by Kalebu Gwalugano, which builds developer-centric conversational AI for African languages.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
In fostering Dunia Yetu, we together aim to catalyze a wave of transformative innovation throughout East Africa, starting with Tanzania. This collaborative venture not only aligns with the visionary leadership of H.E. Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of Tanzania, but also signifies a powerful commitment from the ICT Commission, ThreeFold, Holochain, and the vibrant tech community of Dar Es Salaam and Tanzania at large.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
As we embark on this journey, we invite stakeholders, partners, and enthusiasts to join hands with us in shaping a digital ecosystem that propels Tanzania and East Africa towards a brighter, tech-driven future. Together, let us chart new horizons and amplify the impact of Dunia Yetu across the realms of technology, entrepreneurship, and community development.

**A Sovereign Economic Zone**
|
||||
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
ThreeFold recently formalized its partnership with [ZICTIA](https://zictia.go.tz/), the Zanzibar ICT Infrastructure Agency, on behalf of the Zanzibar Government, to create the world’s first 100% Digital Free Zone - accessible and affordable for all. Together we are creating a streamlined platform where any entrepreneur, digital nomad or company can obtain a digital company license, a bank account supporting both fiat and cryptocurrencies, and handle their legal requirements and taxes, all in one place. The aim is to simplify the process of establishing and managing a business entity in the digital realm. This Digital Free Zone project is part of the Government of Zanzibar’s wider initiative to shift its economy from being largely dependent on tourism to embracing other sectors, namely IT.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The collaboration was formally announced by Zanzibar’s President, Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi, at ThreeFold’s Africa Regenerative Future Summit in July 2023 which brought together a group of passionate entrepreneurs and actors working on innovative planet-first projects in Africa. The President promised to establish the Digital Free Zone from a regulatory perspective, with the goal of developing local skills, bringing about major changes in the ICT sector, and creating job opportunities to increase the nation’s income. See his announcement in the video below.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
As the world’s first Digital Free Zone, this special economic zone will be powered by ThreeFold’s innovative tech stack, operating as the digital backbone for this innovative policy sandbox. ThreeFold’s latest technology, which is currently being fine tuned, the Digital Twin, will be launched as part of the Free Zone membership. The Digital Free Zone (DFZ) Digital Twin application provides a centralized interface for accessing all free zone features and users will own 100% of the data and digital capabilities. Merging traditional business structures with groundbreaking technology, the free zone will be a pioneering hub for business, fostering an ecosystem that is adaptive, resilient, and conducive to growth. It will be one of the first environments where Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) can be legally established and operated. Some of the ThreeFold team is based in Zanzibar and working to make the Free Zone live by the end of 2024. You can be among the first to embark on the OurWorld Digital Free Zone journey - explore more [here](https://freezone.ourworld.tf/).
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
This new and exciting partnership between ThreeFold, ZICTIA, and the Zanzibar Government also aims to improve the internet for the entire island using ThreeFold technology. This future project will allow Zanzibar to establish its own autonomous and sovereign internet, empowering citizens to take back control of their data and digital lives. ThreeFold technology also serves as a foundation on which a wide array of impactful projects can be hosted on top of. This partnership is therefore also focused on exploring incubation opportunities on the island to support local communities and entrepreneurs to create their own projects and digital solutions. The goal is to create a sovereign internet created for Zanzibar by Zanzibar.

In this week's call, Scott and Mik discussed and demoed gateways, specifically gateway domains, a relatively new feature where users can attach a gateway to any generic VM deployment from the dashboard. This feature brings flexibility to the system for those who want to do DIY deployments. Gateway domains allow deployments to run on the grid while remaining accessible from the public Internet. You can watch the recording [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yVpxAt14jk).
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Based on call feedback, we are planning a demo of the WordPress application. We will cover how to deploy it with and without an IPv4 network. This demo is scheduled for the first week of June. You can view other upcoming calls [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/community-call-schedule-for-may-2024/4324).
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Is there something you want to see tested on the grid? Let us know, and we’ll be glad to explore it in a subsequent community call demo session.

We are pleased to announce that the voting phase for the proposed GEP from last week is now underway.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Last week, we shared [a GEP proposal](https://forum.threefold.io/t/gep-minting-and-farming-rewards-updates-march-2024/4285) around minting and farming rewards updates, and we are ready to take a vote.
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
|
||||
Any ThreeFold Farmer may vote on the proposal by visiting the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/) and clicking on the DAO section. [Read the manual for more information on the DAO](https://manual.grid.tf/documentation/dashboard/tfchain/tf_dao.html).
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The voting period will end one week from today: Friday, April 12 19:55 CEST | 13:55 EDT.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
We appreciate the feedback brought by the community on this GEP and we look forward to discussing and incorporating ideas into upcoming GEPs as it makes sense.
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
We are also excited to invite you to a community discussion scheduled for next Thursday. This interactive session will be conducted via a two-way call format.
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
Our focus will be the current GEP, future GEPs, TF Grid 3.14, and the cooperative.
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
Feel free to bring your topics.
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to this, we're laying the groundwork to achieve regular community calls, we aim to hold 3-4 calls each month, each with distinct goals and objectives tailored to the needs of our community.

As part of the grid, ThreeFold is also implementing a planetary network. To date, we were using yggdrasil as the core technology for this network. However, the team noticed some limitations and ultimately decided to work on our own Ipv6 overlay network to accomplish our specific needs.
|
||||
ThreeFold is implementing a planetary network, aiming to allow efficient, end-to-end encrypted communication with other participants on the network
|
||||
Lee, who is leading the efforts on this super exciting initiative, unveils the groundbreaking Mycelium project, introducing an innovative Ipv6 overlay network.

Take a look at this [interesting write-up](https://forum.threefold.io/t/introducing-mycelium/4082) by Lee who is also leading the efforts on this super exciting initiative. We'll share more developments and a demo when ready. Thanks Lee!
|
||||
This cutting-edge solution emerges as a response to the limitations observed in the existing Yggdrasil technology. Mycelium, designed to be scalable and efficient, propels ThreeFold's commitment to decentralized networking.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|

As an integral part of the larger grid initiative, Mycelium contributes to the development of a peer-to-peer planetary network. This strategic move enhances secure, end-to-end encrypted communication among participants, elevating the ThreeFold ecosystem to new heights.

In the recent community call, several inquiries from both the forum and chat remained unaddressed. So, we've compiled responses to these outstanding questions:
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
***What does commercialization mean to the average farmer and how can they have a deeper involvement? How can we get 3nodes faster here in the US?***
|
||||
|
||||
*Commercialization means that there will be much more utilization, and this will lead to more rewards. This means that farmers will also need to meet certain standards related to reliability for commercial-level workloads.*
|
||||
|
||||
*Regarding getting 3Nodes faster in the US, for now, we recommend reaching out to existing vendors on this topic. Anyone can apply to become a vendor and ship in the US, and we expect that, as the project grows, more vendors will come on board.*
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
***Note***: We still need to discuss how the certified node program might change in v4.
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
***Can you guarantee that there will never be more than 1B Tokens in the future or can your opinion change later?***
|
||||
|
||||
*We can guarantee that there will never be more than 1B TFT on the Stellar Blockchain.*
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||
|
||||
***We shall move to the new Farmerbot, but it is still possible to run the old one, right?***
|
||||
|
||||
*You can run the old Farmerbot, but our recommendation is to update at the earliest as there have been a lot of new features that you wouldn’t see in the old one. Most importantly the old Farmerbot did have a few bugs that were fixed in the new version. So please update as soon as possible.*

In this month’s project update, Kristoff went deeper into what the future holds, and the differentiations between v3 and the upcoming v4, and MikeWW from Green Edge gave a solid introduction to INCA, the continuation of TFT on Solana (most likely). Whereas TFT built the foundations of the project, INCA will enable scale on the grid. Lastly, Mik shared some tech and documentation updates, and Sam covered ecosystem and on-the-ground updates in Zanzibar and Tanzania.

Edge computing offers a solution to traditional centralized cloud infrastructure challenges by processing data closer to its source. This approach reduces latency, conserves energy, and enhances bandwidth efficiency. By distributing processing tasks closer to the data source, edge computing improves scalability and efficiently handles increasing workloads.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, it bolsters data privacy and security by dispersing data across a distributed network of nodes, reducing the risk of data breaches. This model supports real-time applications and emerging technologies like AI-driven analytics and IoT ecosystems. As demand for cloud services grows, ThreeFold's decentralized, edge-centric cloud infrastructure offers a sustainable, efficient, and transformative future for cloud computing.

We're excited to announce the release of a new Grid Enhancement Proposal (GEP). This proposal is shaped by insightful feedback we've received from the community. Our aim with this proposal is to bolster the reliability and fairness of the ThreeFold Grid, while ensuring fair value is achieved for all participants.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
**Proposal Summary**
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>95% and 98% uptime requirements for DIY and certified nodes respectively</li>
|
||||
<li>50% of proof-of-utilization revenues will go to the farmer running the 3Node</li>
|
||||
<li>Minting will be slashed for 1 month if the node cannot wake up within 30 minutes twice within the same minting period</li>
|
||||
<li>When we reach 1 Billion TFT on Stellar, minting stops on Stellar</li>
|
||||
<li>TFT burning will stop</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
</br>
|
||||

Testing is a key aspect of maintaining a reliable cloud infrastructure. Because testing is such a thorough process, we can catch and correct bugs before they reach the mainnet, our “production” environment. Learn more about the testing process:
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
**Part I: Ensuring Quality for Users**
|
||||
This section covers why testing is important and the three networks used for testing – Devnet, QAnet, and Testnet – before we release anything to mainnet. [Read more](https://www.threefold.io/blog/how-to-test-the-grid-part-one/).
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
**Part II: Overview of Manual & Automation Testing**
|
||||
This section focuses on two key types of testing – manual, and automation – which combine to ensure a strong and dependable grid. It also explains how to report an issue found during testing. [Read more](https://www.threefold.io/blog/how-to-test-the-grid-part-two/).
|

It aims to connect African builders, explore alternative forms of city organization, and foster a growth ecosystem.

|
||||
|
||||
At Student Weekend, we will show the audience how to deploy workloads on top of ThreeFold's decentralized cloud infrastructure and participate in an ideathon, which then leads to a hackathon in mid-June where participants will try to build and deploy their ideas on top of ThreeFold nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
*An exciting opportunity to interface with local builders and showcase ThreeFold technology!*
