# Example Node Configurations (Q4 2025)
This document outlines example compute nodes, their specifications, estimated costs, performance profiles, and potential monthly income based on the **ThreeFold / GeoMind** model for decentralized AI, compute, and storage nodes.
Nodes are divided into **Certified** and **Non-Certified** types, each with defined hardware specs and income models.

## Bid Tiers (ThreeFold Willing to Set)
| **Type** | **# Nodes** | **Min Perf** | **MEM (GB)** | **GPU (GB)** | **Price / Month (CC)** |
| --------------------------- | ----------- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | ---------------------- |
| Std Compute Slice | 20,000 | 2,000 | 4 | 1.2 | |
| Mem Heavy Slice | 2,000 | 2,000 | 8 | 2.4 | |
| AI Slice | 2,000 | 25,000 | 124 | 50 | |
| AI Slice Big Nvidia 1x | 50 | 35,000 | 124 | 96 | 500 |
| AI Slice Big Nvidia 2x | 50 | 35,000 | 250 | 192 | 1,000 |
| AI Slice Big Tenstorrent 8x | 50 | 35,000 | 250 | 192 | 1,000 |
**Total:**
* **24,150 slices**
* **253,800 GB total memory**
* **≈ 3,965,625 CC monthly potential (≈ $507,600)**
> *Based on new AI 395+ nodes. Dedicated memory & GPU per slice (full node model).*

## Pricing Logic
* Bids can be set per **1 hour**, **1 month**, or longer durations.
* Prices adjust dynamically based on reservation length (shorter = higher price).
* Reflects **minimum reservation duration** logic from Mycelium / ThreeFold’s marketplace.
---
## Summary Explanation
* Each **node** is a physical or certified compute machine that can be divided into **slices** — independent virtual allocations (e.g., 2 cores, 4 GB RAM, 143 GB SSD = 1 slice).
* **Certified Nodes** (Mini, AI, GPU variants) are hardware validated for stable and efficient participation in the decentralized grid.
* Each node has:
* A **capital cost** (hardware)
* A **hardware amortization** over 5 years (monthly cost)
* A potential **monthly income** based on slice sales (compute / AI / storage)
* **Hosters** receive 80 % of income, 10 % is protocol burn, 10 % to ThreeFold.
* The income range shows **minimum guaranteed** and **maximum potential** usage scenarios.
* **Cloud Credits (CC)** are the internal accounting unit pegged to gold, maintaining stability and fairness.
