ThreeFold

Overview

ThreeFold is a decentralized cloud computing platform that aims to create a more equitable and sustainable internet. It leverages blockchain technology to provide decentralized storage, compute, and network capacity. The project is built on a peer-to-peer model, eliminating the need for centralized intermediaries and enabling a truly decentralized internet infrastructure.

Key Features

  • Currency: TFT (ThreeFold Token)
  • Buying Currency: Available on decentralized exchanges like PancakeSwap and Liquid.
  • Utility:
    • Used for network transactions and incentivizing resource providers.
    • Staking rewards for network validators and farmers (node operators).
  • Automation:
    • Smart contracts automate resource allocation, billing, and reward distribution.
  • Utility in the Project:
    • Users can earn TFT by providing storage, compute, and network resources.
    • Validators can stake TFT to secure the network and earn rewards.
  • API: Yes, ThreeFold provides an API for developers to integrate with their applications.
  • User Perspective:
    • Users can easily deploy applications, store data, and earn TFT tokens by contributing to the network.

How It Works

  1. Step 1: Users connect their hardware (servers, storage devices) to the ThreeFold Grid.
  2. Step 2: The network allocates resources to applications and services deployed on the grid.
  3. Step 3: Users earn TFT tokens based on the amount of resources provided.

Staking

  • Staking Requirements: No minimum staking requirements and no locking mechanism.
  • Rewards: Users get up to 60% discount on their deployments based on the tokens in their wallet.
