 "A 3node becomes a gateway when a Threefold farmer adds a public IP address to the node itself on the Threefold Dashboard. In doing so, the IP address is then handed over to the base operating system of the node itself. The IP address can then be used in the overall functions of the TF Grid."

+
+As part of the TF Grid 3.11 release (now on testnet), farmers can now set an extra fee for their nodes, for having GPU or other special features enabled. This fee is in addition to the price of the capacity, and is paid in full to the farmer.
+
+<br/>
+
+By setting a custom price on a node, the node becomes dedicated – which means it can no longer be shared by any other customers.
+
+<br/>

+Learn about this feature and the rest of the 3.11 release highlights [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tf-grid-release-3-11-testnet/4042).
