What is Farming?
ThreeFold Farming is a unique concept in the ThreeFold ecosystem where individuals (farmers) can:
- Deploy nodes (3Nodes) that connect to the ThreeFold Grid
- Contribute computing resources (data, cloud and network) to the decentralized ThreeFold Grid
- Earn rewards whenever your nodes provide capacity and are actively utilized on the grid.
- Support a peer-to-peer cloud infrastructure alternative to centralized providers
The Farming Process
Anyone can become a ThreeFold Farmer by running nodes that contribute capacity to the grid.
3NODES
The ThreeFold Nodes are self-healing and autonomous. They provide data, network and cloud resources to the ThreeFold Platform, becoming active contributors to a decentralized digital infrastructure. While rewards are now based on actual usage, each node still delivers a powerful combination of modern technology and thoughtfully crafted design.
A new bare metal operating system Zero-OS supports all required Web2 and Web3 workloads and allows millions of nodes to operate in full autonomous mode providing lower cost, better energy efficiency, more reliability and security.
A Quantum Safe Storage System The Quantum Safe Storage System is capable of storing data indestructible, efficient, and ultra-scalable. Previous versions of this system are widely used to store Zetabytes of information by large organizations.
A Quantum Safe Network System Mycelium can look for the shortest path, has a built-in naming & CDN (Content Delivery) system, can survive disaster and network cuts much more efficiently as is possible today.

The Evolution of Farming
The upcoming ThreeFold Marketplace (expected late Summer 2025) introduces a new chapter for farmers in the ecosystem, making it easier to share resources and earn through a transparent, peer-to-peer platform.
List and manage
their 3Nodes
Offer available capacity directly
to users and developers
Earn rewards based on
real resource usage
Contribute to a growing
ecosystem of decentralized services
This evolution introduces clearer commercial opportunities and a more accessible path for farmers to support and benefit from the growth of the decentralized internet.
Discover ThreeFold’s Ecosystem
There are many ways to join our journey and help build a new internet infrastructure. Farming is just one core part of our ecosystem, here are all the products driving us toward a more open, autonomous, and interconnected digital future.
