# Bidding on ThreeFold Grid Capacity: Ensuring Farmer Revenue
The ThreeFold Grid's decentralized marketplace introduces a robust bidding system that allows not only ThreeFold itself but also other entities to bid on available compute, storage, and network capacity. This mechanism is crucial for farmers, as it provides a proactive way to secure revenue and optimize node utilization without solely relying on direct customer reservations.
## How Bidding Works
The bidding system enables various parties to express their demand for specific resource configurations on the ThreeFold Grid.
1. **ThreeFold's Role as a Bidder:**
* ThreeFold, as the protocol developer and ecosystem facilitator, often places bids on capacity to ensure the grid has sufficient resources for its own operations, strategic partnerships, or to bootstrap demand for new node types.
* These bids are typically structured as "Bid Tiers," as seen in the `overview.md` document. These tiers specify a certain number of nodes or slices with defined minimum performance, memory, and GPU requirements, along with a set price per month. This provides a stable revenue stream for farmers whose nodes meet these specifications.
2. **Other Entities as Bidders:**
* Beyond ThreeFold, other large-scale users, enterprises, or even decentralized applications (dApps) can place bids for significant amounts of capacity. This could be for long-term infrastructure needs, burst capacity for specific events, or to secure resources for their own user base.
* These bids act as a direct demand signal to farmers, allowing them to accept pre-negotiated terms for their available capacity.
## Benefits for Farmers: Yield Management and Consistent Revenue
The bidding system offers significant advantages for farmers:
1. **Proactive Revenue Generation:** Instead of passively waiting for individual customers to reserve their node slices, farmers can actively accept bids. This ensures a more consistent and predictable revenue stream, reducing idle capacity.
2. **Yield Management:** The bidding system allows farmers to practice "yield management." They can strategically accept bids, even at potentially lower prices than individual customer reservations, to ensure their nodes are always utilized. This is particularly valuable for filling off-peak capacity or securing long-term commitments.
3. **Flexible Durations:** Bids can be placed for various durations, ranging from short-term (minimum 1 hour) to long-term commitments (e.g., 1 month, or multiple months). This flexibility allows farmers to balance immediate income needs with long-term stability.
4. **Reduced Market Volatility:** By having a baseline of bids from ThreeFold and other large consumers, farmers are less exposed to the fluctuations of individual customer demand. This creates a more stable economic environment for node operators.
## The Marketplace Dynamics
The bidding process integrates seamlessly with the existing decentralized marketplace:
* **Transparency:** All bids are transparently listed on the grid, allowing farmers to see the demand for different resource types and adjust their offerings accordingly.
* **Automated Matching:** Smart contracts facilitate the matching of bids with available farmer capacity, ensuring efficient allocation and automated payments.
* **Farmer Choice:** Farmers retain the autonomy to accept or reject bids based on their own pricing strategies and desired utilization rates. While bids might sometimes offer lower prices, the benefit of guaranteed utilization and consistent income often outweighs the potential for higher, but less certain, individual customer rates.
## Conclusion
The bidding system on the ThreeFold Grid is a cornerstone of its node economics, providing a powerful mechanism for farmers to secure revenue and optimize their hardware investments. By enabling ThreeFold and other entities to proactively bid on capacity, the grid fosters a dynamic and resilient marketplace where farmers can effectively manage their yield and contribute to the growth of the decentralized internet with greater financial certainty.

# Node Economics Explained: How Farmers Earn and the Decentralized Marketplace
The ThreeFold Grid offers a unique opportunity for individuals, known as "farmers," to monetize their hardware by contributing to a global, decentralized cloud infrastructure. This document explains the core economic principles, how farmers generate income, and the role of the decentralized marketplace.
## The Role of a Farmer
A farmer is an individual or entity that operates one or more "nodes" on the ThreeFold Grid. A node is essentially a physical or certified compute machine that provides resources like CPU, memory, and storage to the network. By making these resources available, farmers become integral to the decentralized cloud, enabling users worldwide to deploy applications, store data, and run various workloads without relying on centralized providers.
## How Farmers Make Money
Farmers earn income by renting out "slices" of their nodes. Each node can be logically divided into multiple slices, with each slice having its own allocated resources (e.g., a certain number of CPU cores, amount of RAM, and SSD storage).
1. **Node Acquisition and Setup:**
* Farmers invest in hardware to set up their nodes. The `overview.md` document provides examples of various node configurations, including "Mini," "Mini AI," and "Nvidia" certified nodes, along with their estimated costs.
* These nodes are then connected to the ThreeFold Grid, making their resources discoverable and available for reservation.
2. **Resource Slicing and Pricing:**
* Farmers have the flexibility to divide their nodes into multiple slices. The `overview.md` shows examples like a "Mini 1" node potentially offering up to 25 slices, while a "Nvidia 6000 (1x)" node might offer 1 slice due to its specialized nature.
* For each slice, farmers can set their own pricing within a defined minimum and maximum range. This allows them to compete in the marketplace while ensuring a fair return on their investment. The pricing can be set per hour, per month, or for longer durations, with shorter reservations typically incurring higher prices.
3. **Income Generation:**
* When a user reserves a slice of a farmer's node, the farmer earns income. The `overview.md` highlights an income split: 80% of the revenue goes directly to the farmer, 10% is burned (reducing the total supply of the ThreeFold Token, TFT), and 10% goes to ThreeFold for protocol development and maintenance.
* The income potential varies significantly based on the node type, its specifications, and the number of slices it can offer. For instance, a "Mini 1" node might generate a minimum of $10.92/month and a maximum of $126/month, while a "Nvidia 6000 (1x)" node could yield between $390 and $4,500/month. These figures illustrate the potential for substantial earnings, especially with higher-end or specialized hardware.
## The Decentralized Marketplace
The ThreeFold Grid operates as a decentralized marketplace where farmers and users interact directly.
1. **Farmers Offer Resources:** Farmers list their available node slices, specifying the resources (CPU, memory, SSD, AI, TPS) and their desired pricing. This information is broadcast across the grid.
2. **Users Reserve Resources:** Users, whether individuals or organizations, browse the available resources on the marketplace. They can search for specific configurations that meet their needs for deploying applications, hosting websites, or running AI workloads. Once a suitable slice is found, they can reserve it for a specified duration.
3. **Dynamic Pricing and Bid Tiers:**
* The marketplace supports dynamic pricing, where prices can adjust based on factors like reservation length. Shorter reservations might have a higher hourly rate compared to longer-term commitments.
* ThreeFold also sets "Bid Tiers" for various slice types (e.g., "Std Compute Slice," "Mem Heavy Slice," "AI Slice"). These tiers represent the prices ThreeFold is willing to pay for specific resource configurations, providing a baseline and ensuring a certain level of demand for farmers' resources. This mechanism helps stabilize the market and provides farmers with a clearer understanding of potential earnings.
4. **Transparency and Efficiency:** The decentralized nature of the marketplace ensures transparency in pricing and resource allocation. Smart contracts on the ThreeFold blockchain handle reservations and payments, eliminating intermediaries and reducing transaction costs. This creates a highly efficient and trustless environment for both farmers and users.
## Conclusion
The ThreeFold Grid's node economics model empowers farmers to become active participants in the decentralized internet. By providing essential compute, storage, and network resources, farmers not only earn a sustainable income but also contribute to building a more resilient, open, and accessible digital future. The decentralized marketplace facilitates this exchange, ensuring fair value and efficient resource utilization across the globe.

**(*) Revenue Distribution**: 80% to hoster/farmer, 10% burned, 10% to ThreeFold
**No CPU Oversubscription**: Current calculations assume no CPU oversubscription. In reality, users will have more CPU available during low-demand periods, and potential oversubscription could increase effective income.
**Cloud Credit Conversion**: CC can be acquired by converting 2 TFT or by purchasing at fiat equivalent of 1/1000 gram of gold price = ~$0.128 USD (price as of Oct 8, 2024)

# Pricing Model & Income Analysis
Understanding the economics of farming is essential for making informed hardware decisions. This page breaks down pricing, utilization scenarios, and ROI calculations.
---
## Pricing Components
### Per-Slice Pricing Structure
Each slice has two key price points:
**Minimum Price** (Floor):
- Conservative market pricing
- Ensures farmers can cover costs
- Competitive with major cloud providers at bulk rates
- Assumes moderate demand
**Maximum Price** (Ceiling):
- Premium positioning
- Comparable to retail cloud pricing
- Assumes high demand and full utilization
- Competitive advantage scenarios
**Example: Standard Compute Slice**
- Min: 1.2 CC/month (~$0.15)
- Max: 12.0 CC/month (~$1.54)
- Range: 10x spread between floor and ceiling
---
## Revenue Share Breakdown
Every Cloud Credit (CC) spent on TFGrid capacity is distributed as follows:
```mermaid
pie title Revenue Distribution per 100 CC
"Farmer (You!)" : 80
"TFT Burn (Deflationary)" : 10
"ThreeFold Operations" : 10
```
### What This Means
If a user pays **100 CC** for your slices:
| Recipient | Amount | Purpose |
|-----------|--------|---------|
| **Farmer** | 80 CC | Your income |
| **TFT Burn** | 10 CC | Reduces TFT supply → supports token value |
| **ThreeFold** | 10 CC | Platform development, operations, support |
:::tip Farmer-First Model
With 80% going directly to farmers, you keep the vast majority of value generated by your infrastructure.

## Income Scenarios by Node Type
### Scenario Analysis Framework
We analyze three utilization scenarios for each node:
1. **Conservative** (20-30% utilization): Network still growing
2. **Moderate** (50-60% utilization): Healthy network adoption
3. **Optimistic** (80-100% utilization): High demand period
---
### Example: Mini 3 (Certified Node)
**Hardware Investment**: $1,000
**Monthly HW Cost**: 17 CC
**Maximum Slices**: 25
**Typical Active Slices**: 25 (can provide full 25)
#### Conservative Scenario (30% utilization, min pricing)
```
Active Slices: 25 × 30% = 7.5 slices
Price per Slice: 1.5 CC (minimum)
Gross Income: 7.5 × 1.5 = 11.25 CC/month
Your Share (80%): 9 CC/month
Net Profit: 9 - 17 = -8 CC/month (not profitable yet)
```
**Status**: Needs higher utilization or pricing to be profitable
#### Moderate Scenario (60% utilization, mid pricing)
```
Active Slices: 25 × 60% = 15 slices
Price per Slice: 7.5 CC (midpoint)
Gross Income: 15 × 7.5 = 112.5 CC/month
Your Share (80%): 90 CC/month
Net Profit: 90 - 17 = 73 CC/month
Annual Profit: 73 × 12 = 876 CC (~$112/year)
ROI: $1,000 investment / $112/year = 8.9 years
```
**Status**: Profitable but slow ROI
#### Optimistic Scenario (100% utilization, premium pricing)
```
Active Slices: 25 × 100% = 25 slices
Price per Slice: 14.9 CC (maximum)
Gross Income: 25 × 14.9 = 372.5 CC/month
Your Share (80%): 298 CC/month
Net Profit: 298 - 17 = 281 CC/month
Annual Profit: 281 × 12 = 3,372 CC (~$432/year)
ROI: $1,000 investment / $432/year = 2.3 years
```
**Status**: Excellent ROI with strong demand
---
### Example: Large TFGrid Node
**Hardware Investment**: $2,000
**Monthly HW Cost**: 33 CC
**Maximum Slices**: 100
**Typical Active Slices**: 20 (limited by resource balance)
#### Conservative Scenario (25% utilization, min pricing)
```
Active Slices: 20 × 25% = 5 slices
Price per Slice: 7.6 CC (minimum)
Gross Income: 5 × 7.6 = 38 CC/month
Your Share (80%): 30.4 CC/month
Net Profit: 30.4 - 33 = -2.6 CC/month (slight loss)
```
**Status**: Nearly break-even at low utilization
#### Moderate Scenario (50% utilization, mid pricing)
```
Active Slices: 20 × 50% = 10 slices
Price per Slice: 40 CC (midpoint)
Gross Income: 10 × 40 = 400 CC/month
Your Share (80%): 320 CC/month
Net Profit: 320 - 33 = 287 CC/month
Annual Profit: 287 × 12 = 3,444 CC (~$441/year)
ROI: $2,000 investment / $441/year = 4.5 years
```
**Status**: Solid profitability
#### Optimistic Scenario (100% utilization, premium pricing)
```
Active Slices: 20 × 100% = 20 slices
Price per Slice: 76.2 CC (maximum)
Gross Income: 20 × 76.2 = 1,524 CC/month
Your Share (80%): 1,219 CC/month
Net Profit: 1,219 - 33 = 1,186 CC/month
Annual Profit: 1,186 × 12 = 14,232 CC (~$1,822/year)
ROI: $2,000 investment / $1,822/year = 1.1 years
```
**Status**: Outstanding ROI
:::tip High-Memory Advantage
Large TFGrid Node's 512 GB RAM enables premium memory-heavy slice pricing, driving higher income per active slice.

### Example: Nvidia 6000 (Dual GPU)
**Hardware Investment**: $30,000
**Monthly HW Cost**: 500 CC
**Maximum Slices**: 2 (dedicated GPU slices)
**Typical Active Slices**: 2
#### Conservative Scenario (50% utilization, min pricing)
```
Active Slices: 2 × 50% = 1 slice
Price per Slice: 300 CC (minimum)
Gross Income: 1 × 300 = 300 CC/month
Your Share (80%): 240 CC/month
Net Profit: 240 - 500 = -260 CC/month (loss)
```
**Status**: Needs higher utilization for profitability
#### Moderate Scenario (75% utilization, mid pricing)
```
Active Slices: 2 × 75% = 1.5 slices
Price per Slice: 1,650 CC (midpoint)
Gross Income: 1.5 × 1,650 = 2,475 CC/month
Your Share (80%): 1,980 CC/month
Net Profit: 1,980 - 500 = 1,480 CC/month
Annual Profit: 1,480 × 12 = 17,760 CC (~$2,273/year)
ROI: $30,000 investment / $2,273/year = 13.2 years
```
**Status**: Profitable but requires patience
#### Optimistic Scenario (100% utilization, premium pricing)
```
Active Slices: 2 × 100% = 2 slices
Price per Slice: 3,000 CC (maximum)
Gross Income: 2 × 3,000 = 6,000 CC/month
Your Share (80%): 4,800 CC/month
Net Profit: 4,800 - 500 = 4,300 CC/month
Annual Profit: 4,300 × 12 = 51,600 CC (~$6,605/year)
ROI: $30,000 investment / $6,605/year = 4.5 years
```
**Status**: Excellent returns with AI demand
:::note AI Premium Pricing
GPU nodes can command significantly higher prices due to AI/ML demand. Market pricing for comparable GPU cloud instances supports these ranges.

# Understanding Slices
Slices are the fundamental unit of capacity allocation in TFGrid v4. Think of them as standardized "packages" of compute resources that make it easy to price, allocate, and utilize node capacity efficiently.
---
## What is a Slice?
A **slice** is a defined portion of a node's total resources, including:
- **CPU Cores**: Processing power allocated to the slice
- **Performance (Passmark)**: Benchmark score indicating CPU performance
- **Memory (RAM)**: Gigabytes of system memory
- **Storage (SSD)**: Gigabytes of fast storage
- **TPS (Tokens Per Second)**: For AI workloads, processing capability
Rather than selling "whole nodes" or arbitrary resource amounts, slices provide:
- **Standardization**: Predictable resource bundles
- **Flexibility**: Users can consume 1 slice or 100 slices
- **Efficiency**: Better matching of supply to demand
- **Clarity**: Transparent pricing per slice
---
## Why Slices?
### The Old Problem
**Without slices**:
- Users need to understand complex hardware specifications
- Pricing is inconsistent across different node types
- Hard to compare value between providers
- Resources often underutilized or over-provisioned
### The Slice Solution
**With slices**:
- Simple, standardized packages (like buying "small", "medium", "large")
- Consistent pricing model across the network
- Easy comparison: "This slice costs X, provides Y resources"
- Better utilization: Divide nodes into right-sized portions
---
## How Nodes Divide Into Slices
Each physical node can support a **maximum number of slices** based on its specifications.
### Example: 3Node Home
**Total Resources**:
- 16 CPU cores
- 22,000 Passmark score
- 32 GB RAM
- 1,000 GB SSD
**Maximum Slices**: 25
**Per Slice** (resources divided):
- 2.3 cores (16 ÷ 7 slices actually used)
- 3,143 Passmark performance
- 4.0 GB RAM
- 143 GB SSD
:::note Resource Allocation
Not all nodes use their maximum slice count. The actual slices used depends on the node's resource constraints. For example, a 3Node Home is limited by RAM, so it provides 7 slices despite having capacity for 25.
:::
---
## Slice Types
Different workloads need different resource balances. ThreeFold offers several slice configurations:
### Standard Compute Slice
**Best for**: General applications, web services, APIs
**Resources**:
- ~2,000 Passmark performance
- 4 GB RAM
- Standard storage
**Price**: ~1.2 CC/month minimum
### Memory-Heavy Slice
**Best for**: Databases, caching, memory-intensive applications
**Resources**:
- Standard performance
- 8 GB RAM (double standard)
- Standard storage
**Price**: ~2.4 CC/month minimum
### AI Slice (Standard)
**Best for**: AI inference, small models, development
**Resources**:
- Moderate performance
- 124 GB RAM
- Shared GPU access
**Price**: ~50 CC/month minimum
### AI Slice (Dedicated GPU)
**Best for**: AI training, large models, high-performance inference
**Resources**:
- High performance
- 124-250 GB RAM
- Dedicated GPU (96-192 GB GPU memory)
**Price**: 500-1,000 CC/month minimum
See [TF Bid Packages](/node-economics/tf-bid-packages) for complete specifications.
---
## Slices and Farmer Income
Slices directly determine farmer earnings:
### Income Calculation
```
Monthly Income = (Number of Active Slices) × (Price Per Slice) × (Utilization Rate)
```
**Example**:
- Node: Large TFGrid Node with 20 slices
- Price per slice: 7.6 CC (minimum pricing)
- Utilization: 80% (16 slices rented)
- **Monthly Income**: 16 × 7.6 = 121.6 CC/month (~$15.56 at 1 CC = $0.128)
### Income Ranges
Each node type has:
- **Minimum Income**: Conservative pricing, partial utilization
- **Maximum Income**: Premium pricing, full utilization
See [Pricing Model](/node-economics/pricing-model) for detailed projections and ROI analysis.
---
## Slices and the 80% Revenue Share
The slice pricing includes the revenue share model:
1. **User pays for slice**: Example: 10 CC/month
2. **Revenue distribution**:
- **80%** → Farmer (8 CC)
- **10%** → TFT Burn (1 CC worth of TFT burned)
- **10%** → ThreeFold Operations (1 CC)
:::tip Farmer-First Economics
With 80% going directly to farmers, the slice model ensures capacity providers receive the majority of value generated.
:::
---
## Oversubscription
One important note from the current calculation: **CPU oversubscription is not currently factored in**.
### What is Oversubscription?
In practice, most workloads don't use 100% of allocated CPU 100% of the time. Cloud providers often oversubscribe CPU (sell more CPU cores than physically exist) because:
- Most workloads are bursty (high usage occasionally, low usage normally)
- Statistical multiplexing: not all users peak at the same time
- Better hardware utilization and economics
### Future Implementation
TFGrid may implement CPU oversubscription carefully:
- **Benefit**: Higher effective income per node
- **Risk**: Must ensure quality of service isn't degraded
- **Balance**: Conservative ratios (e.g., 1.5x or 2x) rather than aggressive oversubscription
:::caution Current Status
The income projections in this documentation assume **no CPU oversubscription**. Actual income could be higher if careful oversubscription is implemented in the future.
:::
---
## Slices in Practice
### For Users
**Simple shopping experience**:
1. Browse available slice types
2. See clear pricing and resources
3. Deploy workloads to slices
4. Scale up or down as needed
**No complex calculations** about "how many cores do I need vs. RAM vs. storage?"
### For Farmers
**Predictable capacity planning**:
1. Know your node specifications
2. Calculate maximum slices
3. Set competitive pricing
4. Track utilization and income
**Clear comparison** between different hardware investments.
