# How to Use It
![](img/map.png)
The current grid is usable for people who have some technical background and know how to use cloud technologies.
- Our current deployment is in more than 50 countries and has plenty of features.
We are working on the generation 4 of the ThreeFold Grid, which will have the following additional features:
- Service Level Management
- As a user of the Internet capacity you get a guarantee from the farmers
- Farming Pools
- Pools of capacity with defined service level and pricing
- Dynamic Pricing
- Each farmer/farming pool can define their own pricing in line to service levels and performance.
- Development platform for Web4
- This will be an agent-centric paradigm of the future.
## Which Workloads
![](img/users_all.png)
Any AI, Web2 and Web3 workloads, as well as any blockchain app, can be deployed on the grid today.
## For Who
![](img/users.png)
Developers, as well as system administrators, can use the ThreeFold Grid.
Today, system administrators already have access to a large variety of tools to get started today. Read more below.
> *On 12-12-2024, we will announce what developers can build on top of the ThreeFold Grid.*
A true Web4 system must be flexible, enabling anyone, anywhere, to build on top of it.
## System Administrators & Web2+Web3 Enthusiasts
![](img/compatible.png)
ThreeFold has made the ThreeFold Grid compatible with industry standards used today in the cloud landscape.
You can deploy:
- Virtual Machines
- Containers
- Compatible with Docker
- Kubernetes Clusters
- Compatible with the world
- With additional network capabilities
- Multiple Network Technologies
- To connect the virtual machines & containers
- AI Workloads
- Use GPU from the containers or virtual machines
- Web Gateways
- Connect your running workload to the Internet
- Web3 workloads
- Anything which can run on Linux today can run on top of the ThreeFold Grid
- e.g. blockchain validators, etc.
If you know how to write scripts, then you can build wonderful automated solutions on top of the grid.
