## Architecture

![](img/architecture.png)

The system has been designed to be scalable to a planet level.

- Mycelium is the Network Layer
- 3Nodes are the nodes running Zero-OS which is our own operating System providing compute, storage and network capacity

### 3Nodes

The network of nodes which make up the cloud. Each node provides compute, storage and network capacity.

A cloud needs hardware/servers to function. Servers of all shapes and sizes can be added. The production of Cloud Capacity is called Farming and parties who add these servers to the grid are called Farmers.

Farmers download the Zero-OS operating system and boot their servers. Once booted, these servers become 3Nodes. The 3Nodes will register themselves in a blockchain. Once registered, the capacity of the 3Nodes will become available. This enables a peer2peer environment for people or companies to reserve their Internet Capacity directly from the hardware but yet allowing full control by commercial parties if that would be required.


## Ultra Scalable

This architecture scales to the planet.

## Core Components

### Web3 & Decentralized AI Compatibility

Our Decentralized Cloud Technology the ideal platform for hosting any web3 and AI workloads. 

Our Zero-OS operating system already supports integrated GPUs, ensuring optimal performance for decentralized AI applications.

> Any workload (web2/3 and AI) can run on on our Decentralized Cloud.

## TFChain: our Blockchain

This blockchain does the following:

- registry for all 3bots (identity system, aka phonebook)
- registry for all farmers & 3nodes
- registry for our reputation system
- info as required for the Smart Contract for IT

This is the hart of our operational system of our decentralized cloud.
