## Node Economics
|
||
|
||
farmers can earn income by renting out slices of their nodes. Each node can be divided into multiple slices, each with its own resource allocation and pricing.
|
||
farmers can set their own prince in between min and maximum range.
|
||
|
||

|
||
**Total:**
|
||
|
||
* **24,150 slices**
|
||
* **253,800 GB total memory**

|
||
## 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)
|
||
* **farmers** receive 80 % of income, 10 % is protocol burn, 10 % to ThreeFold.
|
||
* The income range shows **minimum guaranteed** and **maximum potential** usage scenarios.
