# Ecosystem
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ThreeFold aims to be a decentralized organization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## TF Farmers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- connect computers to our new internet
|
||
|
|
- means provide GPU, Storage and Compute capacity and make it available over Mycelium to all participants
|
||
|
|
- more than 1000 farmers today host TF nodes and provide capacity.
|
||
|
|
- rewards from 3.14+
|
||
|
|
- Farmers earn TFT by providing capacity.
|
||
|
|
- Farmers can earn 50% on the sold capacity if they register with the marketplace of the TF Cooperative
|
||
|
|
- farmers will have to do KYC starting Q2 2024
|
||
|
|
- see [farming rewards for more info](farming_reward.md)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Network Bridgers (Provider)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- make bridge between old and new internet
|
||
|
|
- provide bandwidth to TFGrid
|
||
|
|
- todo: formalize manual and description how to become a Network Bridger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## TF Farming Pools (NEW Q2 2024)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Help farmers to be more effective
|
||
|
|
- Training & Support
|
||
|
|
- Improve uptime and provide authenticity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The aim is to improve the service level and uptime of farming on TFGrid:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- activities
|
||
|
|
- deliver a service level to the community
|
||
|
|
- support for the TF Nodes (replace nodes, make sure power is ok)
|
||
|
|
- bandwidth providing for TF Nodes (connect network nodes to high speed internet networks)
|
||
|
|
- manage the pricing in line to uptime, performance, ... of farms
|
||
|
|
- optional: sell of TF Nodes
|
||
|
|
- business model
|
||
|
|
- the Farming Pool collects all farming rewards for all the Nodes and redistribute the farming rewards minus a margin for the farming pool.
|
||
|
|
- there needs to be a contract (terms and conditions) between the farming pool and the farmers
|
||
|
|
- service level
|
||
|
|
- a service level needs to be defined and exposed to the rest of the world
|
||
|
|
- the T&C contracts can be arrange in OurWorld Digital Freezone if applicable.
|
||
|
|
- TF Dubai is **granting** the required tooling & information for this service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## TFNode Suppliers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Build & Sell TFNode's to our participants.
|
||
|
|
- Minimal service/support needs to be delivered
|
||
|
|
- Often part of Farming Pools or related to it
|
||
|

||
|
