# TFGrid release 3.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TFGrid 3.0 will be released gradually during Q3/Q4 2021.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What's new ?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TFGrid 3.0 is a full redesign of the ThreeFold Grid architecture. The main purpose of this redesign is to decentralize all the components that the Grid is built with.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### TFChain 3.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A decentralised chain holding all information on entities that make up the ThreeFold Grid. It runs on Parity Substrate blockchain infrastructure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Features :
|
||
|
|
- Your identity and proofs/reputation on our blockchain
|
||
|
|
- All info about TFGrid (nodes, farmers, …)
|
||
|
|
- A Graphql interface to be able to query the blockchain
|
||
|
|
- Support of side chains (unlimited scalability, allow others to run their own blockchain)
|
||
|
|
- TFT exists now also on TFChain (allows us to work around Stellar scalability issues)
|
||
|
|
- Bridge between TFT on Stellar and TFT on TFChain (one way to start)
|
||
|
|
- Blockchain based provisioning process
|
||
|
|
- TFChain API (javascript, golang, vlang)
|
||
|
|
- Support for 'Infrastructure as Code' : IAC frameworks
|
||
|
|
- Terraform
|
||
|
|
- Kubernetes, Helm, Kubernetes
|
||
|
|
- Ansible (planned for Q4 2021)
|
||
|
|
- Use RMB = peer2peer secure Reliable Message Bus to communicate with Zero-OS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Proof of Utilization
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Resource utilisation is captured and calculated on hourly basis
|
||
|
|
- Resource utilisation stored in TFChain
|
||
|
|
- An automated discount system has been put in place, rewarding users who pre-purchased their cloud needs. Price discounts are applied, in line with amount of TFT you have in your account and the period you are holding these TFT.
|
||
|
|
E.g. if you have 12 months worth of TFT in your account in relation to the last hour used capacity you get 40% discount, 36 months results in 60% discount.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### New Explorer UI
|
||
|
|
- An updated User Interface of the TF Grid Explorer, nicer and easier to use
|
||
|
|
- It uses the Graphql layer of TFChain
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
