+description: A new easier to understand model that covers both Certified and DIY Farming.

+---
+
+With the forthcoming launch of ThreeFold Grid 3.0 later this year, the world is set to go peer-to-peer. With many use-cases being lined up, we updated the Farming Rewards to incentivize Farmers to expand the ThreeFold Grid further across the world.
+
+## New Farming Logic - Introducing Network Rewards
+
+The new Farming Rewards logic can be found [**HERE**](https://threefold.io/info/threefold#/threefold__farming_reward).
+<br/>
+<br/>
+You will see that the farming rewards were simplified, and are now calculated according to the compute and storage units (CU & SU) provided to the ThreeFold Grid. 
+<br/>
+<br/>
+Also, as of this summer, Farmers will be able to earn more TFT for the Network traffic happening on their 3Nodes. The amount of data coming in and out of their CU and SU will determine extra rewards in the form of Network Units (NU).
+<br/>
+<br/>
+
+- Certified NU: 0.3 TFT per GB per month
+- DIY NU: 0.2 TFT per GB per month
+
+## How do I get Certified?
+
+All 3Nodes bought from ThreeFold after June 5 2021 are eligible for certified farming. We will send instructions to everyone that purchased a Titan v2.1 on how to upgrade to a certified 3Node next week. 
+<br/>
+<br/>
+For people that already bought an earlier batch of nodes, we are thinking of a solution for becoming certified, as our hardware partners need the physical 3Node to certify the hardware.
+
+## Important notes
+
+- All certified hardware is 100% dedicated to the ThreeFold Grid. While DIY nodes can be booted with a different Operating System, this is not possible with a Certified 3Node.
+- All certified hardware is automatically subject to the 3.0 Farming Logic. Read more [**HERE**](https://threefold.io/info/threefold#/threefold__farming_reward).

+Please feel free to dig in and leave comments or questions on [our forum](https://forum.threefold.io/)!
+<br/>
+<br/>
+*PS: The circles tool (see roadmap), which is based on open source Taiga, will be made available as a workload on top of the TF Grid for everyone to use. It’s an amazing tool! We have many circles in which we collaborate internally, with members of the community, and with partner projects (more than 80 people globally) on a day-to-day basis.*

+---
+
+Based on their shared commitment to data sovereignty and open alternatives, ownCloud and ThreeFold have agreed to enter into a strategic partnership to advance the decentralization of the consumer cloud. ownCloud is an open-source file sync, share and content collaboration software that lets teams work on data easily from anywhere, on any device. ThreeFold is developing a peer-to-peer Internet platform that aims to liberalize what it labels as a centralized and unequally distributed Internet.
+
+## Now available: ownCloud on the ThreeFold Grid
+
+The first step in the partnership is **the launch of the [ownCloud](https://www.owncloud.com) instance on the ThreeFold Grid – [demoed live](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZkpsG6dQvw) at ownCloud Conference 2021** – and **the development of  a pilot program (register your interest by emailing testowncloud@threefold.io)**. The long-term vision is **a full range of file sync, file sharing and content collaboration solutions** that combine the strengths of both technologies. ThreeFold and ownCloud are excited to develop complementary offerings that reflect their shared beliefs in open standards and digital sovereignty. 
+
+<br/>
+
+*"ownCloud is partnering with ThreeFold to deliver a solution for customers with the demand for data sovereignty, privacy, and ultra-security of their data assets. ownCloud powered by ThreeFold Grid delivers on these exact attributes offering a truly decentralized, secure and scalable infrastructure to complement the proven and globally adopted ownCloud collaboration platform," Joerg Eberwein, VP Partners & Alliances, ownCloud GmbH.*
+
+## Decentralized infrastructure
+
+[ThreeFold](https://threefold.io) built the world’s most decentralized, secure and scalable digital infrastructure. They already have the largest decentralized cloud infrastructure in the world with about 80,000,000 GB deployed across 50 countries, and counting. The ThreeFold Cloud represents the first fully comprehensive decentralized cloud and is integrated with industry-leading tools and protocols for a seamless transition towards web3. Anything that runs on Linux can run on ThreeFold, but better.
+
+<br/>
+
+*"ownCloud powered by ThreeFold offers a purposeful use case of the ThreeFold Grid and aligns with our mission to ensure data privacy and sovereignty for everyone. Combining the longstanding credibility of ownCloud and the decentralized cloud technology of ThreeFold results in a 1+1=3 value statement," Chris Hutton, Co-Founder, ThreeFold Tech.*
+
+## Hosting via smart contract
+
+ThreeFold allows people to host their own applications anywhere on their decentralized cloud infrastructure via smart contract. This provides a powerful solution for ownCloud users to host their collaboration tools anywhere they want, independently from conventional, centralized cloud providers, and without having to maintain the servers and software themselves.
+
+## Free from censorship and user tracking
+
+ownCloud can be installed anywhere, providing a secure and sovereign alternative to public cloud providers ​​for more than 200 million users worldwide as of today.
+
+<br/>
+
+With ownCloud running on the ThreeFold Grid infrastructure, users can manage their "own" cloud on a neutral cloud infrastructure that is free from censorship, user tracking and privacy breaches. This is made possible by Zero-OS, ThreeFold’s stateless and lightweight operating system that allows servers to run autonomously. The self-driving and self-healing features eliminate backdoors and reduce the hacking surface, to keep ownCloud instances secure at all times.
+
+## Joining forces for improved governance, reliability and security
+
+ownCloud and ThreeFold have a history of delivering technical collaborations amongst various projects. While ownCloud excels at delivering secure and private collaboration platforms, ThreeFold offers a robust and flexible large-scale cloud layer. Combining both projects provides new possibilities in regards to governance, reliability and security for users and their data. 
+
+<br/>
+
+With the highly anticipated 3rd release of ThreeFold's technology expected to launch this quarter, **ownCloud and ThreeFold are preparing a pilot program** to leverage their infrastructure and software expertise to deliver truly self-sovereign collaboration solutions in the world. ownCloud and ThreeFold are currently working out the details of their pilot program, which will be announced at a future date.
+
+<br/>
+
+Additionally, the two are **planning a cross-community event**, where community members can learn more about the two technologies and hear further details about the collaboration.
+
+<br/>
+
+**Join our beta tester group by sending an email to testowncloud@threefold.io to be amongst the first to try ownCloud on a self-sovereign environment!**
+
+## About ownCloud
+
+ownCloud develops and provides open-source software for content collaboration, allowing teams to easily share and work on files seamlessly regardless of device or location. More than 200 million users worldwide already use ownCloud as an alternative to public clouds - and thereby opt for more digital sovereignty, security and data protection.

+ThreeFold is developing a peer-to-peer internet platform that aims to liberalize what it labels as a centralized and unequally distributed internet. Its platform, called the ThreeFold Grid, comprises over +1000 servers in 50+ different countries around the world, delivering approximately 80 PB in storage and over 22,000 CPU cores worldwide, making it the largest storage and compute peer-to-peer internet network in the world.
+
+<br/>
+
+Each server runs ThreeFold's stateless and lightweight open-source operating system, Zero-OS, and is set up and operated by independent individuals and organisations called Farmers. Farmers earn rewards in TFT - the platform's native token - for their participation. TFT is the currency of the ThreeFold Grid, with each token representing a unit of storage and compute on the platform. Grid users can use these tokens to reserve the storage and compute they need to store, build and share on the platform's internet network.
