# How ThreeFold compares tosimilar projects in the space?
We've been asked how we differentiate from projects like Dfinity, Akash, Holochain and other so we've opened conversation threads around it on our forum.
<br/>
<br/>
Feel free to join the conversation at [ThreeFold FAQ](https://forum.threefold.io/c/All-about-the-ThreeFold-movement/threefold-faq/58).
The ThreeFold Grid has been live since 2019 and is approaching it's 3rd version in 2021.
<br/>
<br/>
As of today, the ThreeFold Grid is present across more than 30 countries and connects more than 80 Petabytes of storage and 15 thousand croes of compute, making it the world's largest peer-to-peer Internet Infrastructure on the planet.
<br/>

question: Is there anything done for the ThreeFold Grid to be sustainable?
---
# Is there anything done for the ThreeFold Grid to be sustainable?
By starting from scratch on the operating system level, ThreeFold was able to eliminate a lot of complexity from the current web2 and web3 models to enable a super lighteight infrastructure.
<br/>
<br/>
By doing so we are able to enable up-to 10xenergy savings as compared to any other alternative on the market. Also with the future end-user solutions we are building, we should be able to host 20 digital lives for as much energy as a light bulb would consume.
<br/>
<br/>
Nevertheless being sustainable is not enough in times of climate change. It is important for all of us to find ways to not only minimize our carbon footprints but also find ways to regenerate the surface and marine ecosystems of our world. ThreeFold commits to offset the ThreeFold Grid3x in the form of carbon credits to support regenerative projects all around the world.
The ThreeFold Grid is the world’s most advanced peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure. It can scale limitlessly, and brings a more performant, secure and sustainable Internet to host humanity’s data and workloads.
<br/>
<br/>
Powered by ThreeFold’s Open Source Technology, the ThreeFold Grid enables anyone to join the Internet and Cloud economy, and it allows any IT workloads that can run on Linux to benefit from a peer-to-peer infrastructure.
<br/>
<br/>
By using the ThreeFold Grid, developers can create websites, enterprise IT systems and store any files using the world's favourite tools and protocols such as Kubernetes and S3, and disperse their data and workloads across a decentralized cloud infrastructure.
<br/>
<br/>
For example, the ThreeFold Grid hosts its software within an unbreakable tamper proof environment, enabling systems to be developed and run without any firewalls, VPNs and security threats. It's peer-to-peer nature allows interoperability between a vast array of systems and removes the need of any intermediaries to allow people and organizations to build their own private and secure infrastructure. This allows the ThreeFold Grid to host developing environments that are completely self-contained and free from all security challenges found in today's cloud landscape. In a way, it flips the data center model upside down and eliminates all the exorbitant complexity, high cost and unsustainable models of IT.
<br/>
<br/>
The increased monopolisation of the Internet and Cloud by the big tech corporations of our world is threatening the neutrality of today's internet. Censorship, data collection and manipulation is already very present. People are being turned into products of a big AI machine. The ThreeFold Grid allows for a peer-to-peer (owned by all of us) and autonomous (no humans involved in the system) Internet that would decentralize the ownership and secure the neutrality of the Internet.
<br/>
<br/>
ThreeFold, is the only project that started from scratch at the infrastructure level with a super lightweight and stateless operating system that built a full blown architecture to allow peer-to-peer systems to thrive.
<br/>
<br/>
We believe it is the only way to a liberalized Internet as imagined by it's initial creators.
The ThreeFold Connect is ThreeFold's 2-Step authenticator app that allows you to connect to the ThreeFold Grid and it's ecosystem.
<br/>
<br/>
It will protect your account with both your password and your phone. ThreeFold Connect is more than just an authenticator app, it is also ThreeFold's official digital wallet, allowing you to store your TFTs in the most secure way.
The ThreeFold Foundation is a not-for-profit organization based in Ghent, Belgium that oversees the research and development centers inBelgium, Switzerland, Egypt and the UAE as well as teams in India, Brazil, and the United States.
<br/>
<br/>
The Foundation's mission is to build, expand and empower a new Internet infrastructure owned by humanity.
<br/>
<br/>
Ourteam consists of some of the world's best Internet and Cloud experts and technology visionaries, and after many successful exits with some of the world's top Tech companies,they realized that the only way to have a truly sovereign, secure, and energy-efficient Internet, was to start from scratch.
<br/>
<br/>
ThreeFold is committed to making all it's peer-to-peer technologies open-source and is committed to build the Internet humanity deserves.
question: Which 3Node options are best for non-technical people? (Plug & Play)
title: Which 3Node options are best for non-technical people? (Plug & Play)
---
If you are non-technical, we highly recommend you to get a Plug-and-Play 3Node on the ThreeFold Website or with one of our Farming Cooperatives. Plug-and-Play [3Node](https://threefold.io/farming/get_3node) are already booted by ThreeFold's operating system - Zero-OS, so all you have to do is to connect it to electricity and network and you're good to go.
question: What is the difference between Farming and Mining?
title: What is the difference between Farming and Mining?
---
While initially a simple computer was enough to mine Bitcoin, its increasing value quickly sparked interest, however, the difficulty of the calculations required for mining is automatically adjusted according to the number of machines that are candidates for these operations. Thus, the more miners there are, the more complex the calculations. With a price that today exceeds several tens of thousands of euros, it is useless to try to mine Bitcoin with a simple desktop computer, the sector became so competitive that chips dedicated to these calculations have been created.
question: How will buyers choose oneof capacity over another?
title: How will buyers choose oneof capacity over another?
---
The best capacity choice will depend on different factors that will vary according to user needs. Some key statistics such as the uptime of the 3Node and the reputation of the farmer will be made available on the Threefold Grid Explorer. According to these statistics, users can choose the most trustworthy 3Nodes to host their data and workloads on the grid.
question: Is Farming profitable? How much TFT can be earned per month?
title: Is Farming profitable? How much TFT can be earned per month?
---
The farming rewards have been designed by the ThreeFold Foundation in a way to ensure a fair reward while also incentivizing the right actors for the future growth of the ThreeFold Grid.
Any Intel or AMD (the world's 2 most famous hardware chips) server-like hardware can be turned into a 3Node. It was important for ThreeFold to enable different entry points and to maximize the reach across today's industry and allow anyone to find their most suitable settings to join the ThreeFold Grid.
Farming is connecting a 3Node (server-type hardware) in your home or office, that way empowering your city, village, or community with a data sovereign and planet positive Internet infrastructure that can host the data of millions of people and earn you income in [TFT](https://threefold.io/token).
<br/>
<br/>
3Nodes are powered by ThreeFold’s open source operating system Zero-OS, and can host the data and workloads of thousands of people. When providing Internet capacity to the People's Internet, you are rewarded with TFT. And thanks to our proof-of-capacity model, your 3Node does all the heavy lifting for you.

## How It Works
Three simple steps enabling anyone to become a cloud service provider.
{% end %}
{% row(style="center between") %}

#### Step 1
### Host a Node
<br>
All you need to get started is a modern computer, electricity and network. Once booted with Zero OS, a computer becomes a ThreeFold Node.
|||

#### Step 2
### Offer Capacity
<br>
The capacity of the node gets verified and registered in the ThreeFold Blockchain, securing access to a decentralized autonomous cloud for users and communities.
|||

#### Step 3
### Earn Rewards
<br>
After your node is set up and verified, you’ll be rewarded for the capacity that you provide to the ThreeFold Grid.
Today, the best way to buy a node is from independent vendors serving various geographical regions. Nodes are optimized for performance and rewards across different price points.
Read our informative guide on how to set up your own 3Node. Optimize your own specs and configuration to ensure a reliable node to join the cloud network.
The ThreeFold Dashboard is today's go-to-interface for hosters (farmers) and grid users. Create, update and monitor your nodes, estimate your potential earnings, explore and find available nodes on the grid, and much more.
