+# What is Farming?
+
+ThreeFold Farming is a unique concept in the ThreeFold ecosystem where individuals, called 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 for providing capacity on the grid
+- Earn rewards when there is utilization on their nodes
+- Support a peer-to-peer cloud infrastructure alternative to centralized providers
+
+## A Farmer's Journey
+
+ThreeFold farmers are individuals and organizations who operate nodes that provide capacity to the ThreeFold network. Since these nodes are standard computer hardware that runs ThreeFold's self-healing Zero-OS operating system, farmers simply need to provide electricity and network connectivity to the nodes. As the nodes operate mostly autonomously, little to no administration work is required by the farmers, though they may need to replace faulty hardware from time to time.
+
+Farmers have been the backbone of the grid for years now. Thanks to every farmer out there!

+
+# How It Works
+
+## What is the ThreeFold Grid?
+
+The ThreeFold Grid is the only system in the world capable of delivering self-healing data, network and cloud at a planetary scale.
+
+The ThreeFold Grid allows individuals, organizations, communities, countries, and network states to deploy their own sovereign Internet infrastructure. 
+
+The ThreeFold Grid has been live and operational since 2017 and and is live in more than 60 countries with thousands of nodes online.
+
+## Decentralized Architecture
+
+The ThreeFold decentralized architecture has key features.
+
+- There is no central control points
+  - Governance is done via the ThreeFold decentralized autonomous organization (TFDAO)
+- It removes dependency on traditional cloud providers
+  - Anyone can offer resources on the grid
+    - Farmers offer data, network and cloud capacity by hosting nodes on the grid
+  - Anyone can use resources on the grid
+    - The [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf) allows anyone to deploy one-click industry standard apps and workloads
+
+## Technical Foundation
+
+ThreeFold has built core technologies over the years.
+
+- Blockchain-based resource allocation with the ThreeFold Chain (TFChain)
+- Secure, transparent transaction mechanisms thanks to smart contracts
+- Zero-OS: Custom lightweight operating system for nodes built on the Linux kernel
+- Self-healing and automated resource management via bare metal ThreeFold nodes
+- End-to-end encrypted network always using the shortest path
+- Storage resistant to quantum computer attacks
+
+## Concrete Flow - Protocols
+
+- Farmers deploy nodes to the ThreeFold Grid providing data, network and cloud resources
+- Resources are verified via the **Proof-of-Capacity** minting protocol and made available for workload deployments
+- Users can rent data, network and cloud resources directly through the network via the **Proof-of-Utilization** payment protocol
+
+
+## Unique Value Propositions
+
+With a *planet and people-first* philosophy, ThreeFold proposes a new way forward.
+
+1. **Privacy**: Direct control over personal data
+2. **Global Accessibility**: Internet infrastructure for underserved regions
+3. **Sustainability**: Reduced energy consumption compared to centralized data centers
+4. **Economic Empowerment**: Reward mechanism for individuals providing grid resources
+5. **Community-driven**: Changes and enhancements to the grid voted by the TFDAO
+
+## Vision
+
+The ThreeFold Grid aims to create a more sovereign, efficient, and evolutive Internet infrastructure that returns control to individual users and reduces reliance on centralized tech giants. 
+
+> A thriving Internet is not only possible, it is being built right now.
+>
+> *ThreeFold is building Web4...*
+> 
+> Join the grid and build with us! There are many ways to contribute and interact on the grid. 
+> More information will be shared at the launch of ThreeFold V4 on **12.12.24**.

-* The digital currency as used inside the ThreeFold Ecosystem
-
-**INCA-G**
-
-* A generative token, which generates INCA tokens in line to specifications as attached to the INCA-G Token.
-
-**GLD**
-
-* Gold token linked to physical gold, used as Digital Currency in the Digital FreeZone
-
-**Organic Liquidity Pool**
-
-* A better type of liquidity pool which aligns interest of investors and other participants.
-* There is more safety inside and flexibility in how rules are defined around liquidity providing.
-
-## INCA Tokens
-
-INCA is the logical continuation of TF for the ThreeFold which is ThreeFold + much more.
-
-Special:
-
-* Everyone can convert from TFT to INCA, the timing in which is done will give them priority in liquidity on the Organic Liquidity Pool (see below). This conversion happens into the Liquidity Pool.
-
-**INCA Protection**
-
-* Maximum 4 billion INCA
-* Organic Liquidity Pool Concept in a Digital Freezone
-  * Organic Fair way in how to provide liquidity and merge the interests of Investors with the community.

-
-Project Types:
-
-* Farming (promote communities to put capacity in e.g. regions which need it most)
-* Promotion Activities
-* Development Activities
-* Etc.
-
-## Cooperatives
-
-We believe Cooperatives are the best form to organize a project like this.
-
-The ThreeFold Cooperative will be launched as soon as possible in the Digital FreeZone.
-
-The Cooperative will own the following tasks:
-
-* Protect the interests of the members
-* Own the process for developing the project further from technical, promotion and expansion view.
-* Manage the voting process and governance in general.
-* Build a network of experts who can train trainers.
-* Coordinate & Collaborate with partners, build an ecosystem.
-* Define the products & services we as a community need.
-* Manage the treasury,
-
-The Cooperative helps establish Farming pools, which aggregate farmers.
-
-![](./img/docs_threefold_litepaper_3.png)
-
-This structure leads to good governance and lots of decentralization.
-
-![](./img/docs_threefold_litepaper_4.png)
-
-Each farmer owns one of more Nodes or Routers and provides service in line to the specifications as defined on Farming Pool level. The Farmer earns rewards by providing capacity and gets a serious revenue cut from people paying for the services which run on top of their nodes & routers.
-
-![](./img/docs_threefold_litepaper_5.png)
-
-The ThreeFold Cooperative motivates different technical parties to run validators, which are our blockchain nodes which run our governance and reputation systems optionally some financial functions.
-
-There will be contractual agreements in place between all participants to make sure it's transparent and understood by everyone what the nature of the relationships are.
-
-The Validators earn INCA-G rewards.
-
-Please note our Validator network is unique and runs on top of the ThreeFold Grid which means it should have high reliability and is only used for functions where a blockchain concept is really needed.

-# Offer Resources
-
-Farmers offer data, network and cloud resources by hosting nodes on the ThreeFold Platform.
-
-## Pricing
-
-Farmers and farming pools decide on their own price as long as it stays between the range specified in the [Use Resources](./use_resources.md) section.
-
-## Capacity Rewards
-
-Farmers will get monthly rewards by providing resources to the ThreeFold Grid V4.
-
-The following rewards are guaranteed for a 18-month period starting from activation.
-
-| Components | Rewards (INCA/month) |
-|---|---|
-| GB Memory | 8.0 |
-| GB GPU | TBD |
-| TB SSD | 31.5 |
-| TB HDD | 7.0 |
-| TB Network | 30.0 | 
-
-The release mechanism is over a period of 36 months from the moment the node registers on the grid.
-
-- The first 11 months, all tokens are locked.
-- The remaining 25 months, 4% of the total amount of tokens is unlocked monthly until all tokens are unlocked (25 * 4% = 100%).
-
-## Utilization Rewards
-
-The utilization rewards are distributed in a fair and simple manner:
-
-- 60% goes to the farmer hosting the node
-  - As a reward to provide resources to users
-  - Note: Without counting the guaranteed reward for 18 months
-- 20% goes to the Farming Pool
-  - As a reward to provide support, SLA, etc.
-- 20% to ThreeFold, Guardians, Validators
-  - As a reward to host, stabilize and secure the grid
-
-## Minimum Node Specs
-
-- The minimum CPU passmark per GB of memory is 200
-- The minimum GB of memory is 16GB
-- The minimum TB of SSD is 1TB
-
-While it is not explicitly required, we recommend using DDR5 for the memory and having more than one SSD disk per node.
-
-## Host Nodes
-
-Read the [Nodes](/docs/category/nodes) section to learn more about the process of hosting a node.

-## Benefits
-
-There are clear benefits to the marketplace we will implement:
-
-- Utilization of FIAT currencies (CHF, USD, EUR, ...)
-- Better utilization of hardware capacity.
-- Farmers can define their own price, means market mechanism define price in relation to quality and supply
-- Easier for users to find right priced service
-- Easier to monitor and enforce SLA's
-- Easier to track utilization and expansion
-- Can and will be extended to other Internet and cloud services

-The way people collaborate is evolving beyond the boundaries of traditional video calls. OurVerse, a fully immersive metaverse platform, is at the forefront of this change, creating a space where virtual interactions feel real, engaging and truly limitless. With ThreeFold’s support, OurVerse will transform the way people from all horizons connect, create and collaborate in the digital realm.
-
-![](./img/ourverse.png)
-
-OurVerse recently launched its AI 3D Generator, a cutting-edge system that allows users to generate entire 3D virtual environments using just text input. This innovation breaks down traditional barriers like the need for advanced technical skills or expensive software. Whether you’re a designer, educator, healthcare provider, or entrepreneur, anyone, regardless of their skill level or location can now create detailed, interactive 3D environments simply by describing them.
-
-OurVerse, in partnership with ThreeFold, is working toward full decentralization in the coming months. This transition will create a more secure experience with ultra-fast streaming and graphic rendering, delivering pixel-perfect visuals for better global collaboration. This will position OurVerse as the first metaverse to achieve this level of quality and performance.
-
-Together, OurVerse and ThreeFold want to push the boundaries of digital collaboration, creating a new frontier for immersive, meaningful interaction. By harnessing the potential of decentralization and AI, they believe they can make significant improvements in the quality of virtual experiences and also empower users with greater control and ownership in this new digital landscape. This collaboration lays the foundation for a future where the metaverse becomes more than just a concept, offering immersive experiences far beyond what traditional video calls or digital platforms could ever achieve.

-## **A Sovereign Internet, By and For Tanzania**
-
-The current centralized Internet model works for the few and is GDP negative for most countries. Most nations do not own their Internet, instead with fiber optic cables transferring and storing their data in data centers in the Global North. A relatively small set of big companies have access to and control over the data of billions of citizens, making us a product. The result is a loss of national money, data, sovereignty and influence.
-
-Our feasibility study showed that Tanzania is losing around 10 Billion USD per year from not having their own infrastructure and applications. The current centralized model needs to change.

To achieve this mission, Tanzania’s ICT Commission has partnered with us to leverage ThreeFold technology to enable a Tanzanian-owned Internet infrastructure and allow local communities to build the digital solutions that they need and want on top of the grid.
-
-ThreeFold’s unique technology is ideal for this transformative project because of its affordability, efficiency, accessibility, reliability, security, sustainability and ability to be co-owned. By focusing on everyone owning and running things together, an autonomous digital future shaped by the community will become a reality. It will be a Tanzanian internet designed by and for the people.
