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 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.
