Farming Pools

A farming pool has certain tasks and responsibility. In exchange of their work, farming pools receive rewards.

Setting Rewards

Those rewards are first defined by the ThreeFold Platform, see the page Offer Resources. Then, starting end of 2025, each farming pool will define slice prices and rewards to farmers.

Tasks and Responsibility

A Farming pool takes care of the following:

• Define SLA's, T&C's, Customer Onboarding, ...
• Support (replace broken nodes)
• Management infrastructure (monitoring, billing, ...)
• Sales of The Nodes (or work with vendor(s))
• Communication with the Farmers in the Pool
• Price Definition (define sales prices of the slices)
