## INCA Farming = **Become a Cloud Service Provider**
Farming means a person or company offers compute, storage and network capacity to the network
- Farmers buy a INCA Node
- A farmer connects the INCA Node(s) to internet and get rewards for providing capacity
- A farmer earns rewards mainly for utilization but there are also lots of rewards available for providing capacity.
- A farmer is helping his/her community to get access to sovereign Internet & Cloud applications on an unbreakabale co-owned Internet/Cloud.
### Income for the Farmers: mainly based on Utilization
The farmers make capacity available and specify their price.
The recommended pricing is:
- $0.1-10 for AI Box Capacity (GPU Nodes with lots of memory, cpu for AI workloads) (per hour)
- $0.005-4 for Cloud Box Capacity (VM, Containers, Kubernetes, ...) (per hour)
- Options: $0.005-0.02 for 1 GB Storage (per month)
- Options: $0.01-0.2 for 1 GB Transfer (bandwidth)
- $0.005-4 for Cloud Box Capacity (VM, Containers, Kubernetes, ...) (per hour)
- $0.2-2 for Storage Box (100 GB of storage) (per month)
- ** farmers can also make money with other services e.g.
- $0.01-0.2 for 1000 messages over LoraWAN (long range wifi)
> 80% of these fees goes to farmer, 20% to the *TFCOOP, exception for a twin which is 50-50% split.
### Farming Boosters = additional rewards for providing capacity
Our aim is to have millions of nodes in the field to evingly create the biggest network of Cloud & Internet Capacity in the world.
There are Farming Boosters (additional rewards) available for supporting special locations, providing more uptime & SLA's, ...
Cell's get colors in line to need of service:
- green (enough nodes, no rewards)
- yellow (can use some extra nodes)
- red (let's do it, this region needs help)
For red cells the additional farming booster reward is highest.
### How to become a farmer
- buy a *INCA NODE (Compute/Storage/AI node) or *INCA ROUTER (Mycelium Network Node).
- or assemble your own Node, our software makes it easy to get started (see threefold.io for version 3).
### Rewards for being a Farmer
Typically a Farmer can earn the investment of their node back 2 to 10 times over 5 years if succesful.
> For a [simulation based on twins with storage and bandwidth check here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D6Q3Yav_SS356zAILwN4SrmqwYfLibT3E6oWrVPU4c8/edit#gid=170998100)
### Farming Pools
Some farmers will chose not to manage, market or operate their 3node, in that case they can join a farming pool.
A Farming pool takes care of
- marketing the capacity
- giving support to the userbase (developers)
- managing the best possible pricing
- monitor all nodes and optimize uptime
- monitor available bandwidth and make optimizations where possible.
If a farmer uses a farming pool he/she will have to give a part of their reward to the farming pool, each farming pool can decide how much that needs to be.
## Remarks
### Network Rewards requires Unblocked Incoming Internet.
"Incoming internet traffic should be enabled to earn rewards from network bandwidth.
If a farmer lacks this capability, their TFNode will connect to a neighboring TFNode with good internet connectivity and public incoming access. In this case, the neighbor farmer will earn money from the internet traffic, while the farmer will continue to earn rewards for compute and storage."
All traffic is end2end encrypted over the Mycelium network = our P2P Network which lives on top of current Internet.
**There are 3 ways incoming traffic is possible.**
- IPv6 public ip address available
- IPv4 public ip address available (harder)
- Portforwarding or hole punching support for UDP.
Mycelium will try a lot of tricks to allow traffic to go to your network.

## TFRouters
The TFRouters allow everyone to connect the users of our network with the *TFNODE
### TFRouter Indoor
We are partnering with WiFi device vendors to extend the Mycelium Network in a full peer-to-peer fashion.
WiFi 6 is now a reality and a native capacity from our first chosen node. The TFRouter Indoor can be purchased starting now.
It's an exciting node with a reasonable price point and enough CPU capacity to run the Mycelium Network stack within the node itself.
More than 1 node can be installed in a larger office, hotel, home, etc., and they will automatically mesh together.
Each node runs our *ZNET Operating System, allowing for native integration into the TFGrid network.
[Zero-OS](def:zos) Nodes are seamlessly integrated with the Zero-Net nodes by design, requiring minimal configuration. They are part of our Autonomous Zero-OS Stack.
![](tfrouter_physical.png)
### TFRouter Edge
The TFRouter Edge is a powerhouse, equipped with a strong CPU and lots of memory to run edge network functions. This router can be connected to multiple uplinks (satellite, cable, fiber, 5G), ...
Mycelium ensures that the shortest and fastest path is always used, and all communication is end-to-end encrypted between an TFRouter or even your mobile or computer if you have the Mycelium agent installed.
The integrated antennas are powerful, with a long range, and are controlled independently. The Zero-Net Software manages the accounting and mutual credit billing system.
![](img/TFRouter_2.png)
This TFRouter is super fast and has lots of connectivity.
![](img/TFRouter_2b.png)
> This TFRouter can be bought right now.
### TFRouter Outdoor + Long Range
We are in the process of selecting the appropriate network equipment to bridge between two locations and enable the creation of meshed wireless networks at the lowest cost.
Currently, we rely on fiber or existing internet connections to link between locations, but wouldn't it be cool if we could create our own long-range network connections?
![](img/TFRouter_lr.png)
> We are looking for volunteers who will be rewarded to do reasearch and experiment with chosen equipment to test performance in real life situations, let us know if interest to help.

### Advanced: Compute Box
### Advanced: Cloud Block
The more advanced farmers can chose to define compute boxes in their node. A compute box is an amount of CPU, MEM, GPU, SSD as specified by farmer. When users select a node to deploy a VM on they can use one or more of these compute boxes.
The more advanced farmers can chose to define Storage Blocks in their node. A Cloud Block is an amount of CPU, MEM, GPU, SSD as specified by farmer. When users select a node to deploy a VM on they can use one or more of these Storage Blocks.
Example a node with 64 GB or mem and 2 TB of SSD and 24 virtual cores.
- 15 compute boxes each:
- 15 Storage Blocks each:
- 4 GB of memory (60 GB total)
- 120 GB of SSD capacity
- 6.4 logical CPU core (oversubscription of 4, which means user can max use 4x CPU capacity if system allows)
- when a user choses the full machine, then he/she will have reserved all compute boxes capacity which means the machine is now dedicated reserved for the user, the hoster specifies the discount for this typically 50%. On a dedicated machine the user has full access to the GPU.
- when a user choses the full machine, then he/she will have reserved all Storage Blocks capacity which means the machine is now dedicated reserved for the user, the hoster specifies the discount for this typically 50%. On a dedicated machine the user has full access to the GPU.
- min 1GB always needs to be left as buffer for memory and 10% of SSD capacity
How does it work:
- When a developer wants to deploy a virtual machine, he/she needs to define the required capacity and will be able to make a choice based on these compute boxes, each compute box has different base specs (mem, ssd, gpu, cpu) and reputation, the developer can now make a selection of how many of these compute boxes need to be given to the virtual machine. This defines the monthly price which will have to be paid as well as capacity available to the VM.

## A Paradigm of Trust
What if instead of distrusting others, we embrace a paradigm of trust? The *TFGRID 4.0 system is built on this principle of trust between all participants.
What if instead of distrusting others, we embrace a paradigm of trust?
The TFGrid 4.0 comprises different actors, each represented by a 3bot digital assistant. 3bots enable automated interactions between farmers, service providers, and consumers.
Our system is built on this principle of trust between all participants.
## Farmers: Investors in Shared Infrastructure
Each actor is represented by a digital assistant (based on our Hero) who helps us to organize our collaboration, e-commerce flows, system administration tasks, ...
- Farmers invest in hardware capacity like TFNodes or OurVerse-based services (web gateways, 5G, etc). Their investments fund the grid infrastructure.
- Farmers can choose to actively manage their infrastructure using their 3bot. Or they can join a Farming Cooperative to simplify operations.
- Either way, farmers earn profits when people purchase and utilize the infrastructure capacity they invested in. Their 3bots handle billing, monitoring, support issues, etc.
## Grid Services: Facilitating System Usage
- Hundreds of different grid services can exist, from storage and compute to telecom and networking.
- These services track usage metrics like bandwidth, storage consumption, RPC requests, etc. Usage data is reported transparently to the relevant farming 3bot.
- Consumers can interact directly with any service via the OurVerse message bus. Services deploy workloads, fulfill requests, provide monitoring, etc as needed.
## Flexible Pricing Policies
- Farming 3bots define customized pricing policies for their services based on usage. Costs may vary based on compute time, storage quantities, bandwidth, etc.
- Pricing flexibility creates an open market. Farmers can price based on costs and desired profit margins. Consumers can shop for services based on performance, reliability, location, and price.
## IOUs Enable Trusted Transactions
- IOUs (I Owe You) represent agreements between farmers and consumers for grid usage.
- Both parties digitally sign each IOU, ensuring consensus on the transaction details.
- At regular intervals, farmers submit IOUs to the OurVerse Pay Bridge operated by a Guardian Circle. This aggregates IOUs and requests payment from the consumer 3bots.
- Reputations are maintained on the blockchain to identify any bad actors abusing the system. But fundamentally, the system relies on trust between participants.
A Human chain rather than a Blockchain has the capability to build/maintain a good governance system.
## Guardian Circles: Humans Ensuring Oversight
@ -51,6 +29,34 @@ The TFGrid 4.0 comprises different actors, each represented by a 3bot digital as
- Their flexibility allows customization by each grid community based on local needs.
- Circles leverage tools like multisig wallets, OurVerse consensus, and VLang DSLs to codify logic while retaining human checks and balances.
## Summary
In summary, *TFGRID 4.0 demonstrates that with the right incentives and oversight, we can build shared digital ecosystems founded on trust and collaboration.
## Everyone can be a Service Provider / Merchant
- Farmers define their own pricing policies for their services based on usage. Costs may vary based on compute time, storage quantities, bandwidth, etc.
- Pricing flexibility creates an open market. Farmers can price based on costs and desired profit margins. Consumers can shop for services based on performance, reliability, location, and price.
## IOUs Enable Trusted Transactions = mutual credit
- IOUs (I Owe You) represent agreements between farmers and consumers or for any other Internet / Hero Service
- Both parties digitally sign each IOU, ensuring consensus on the transaction details.
- At regular intervals, farmers submit IOUs to the Payment Bridges which are typically operated in a Digital Freezone. This aggregates IOUs and requests payment from the Hero's who represent the buyers.
- Reputations are maintained on a decentralized ledfer to identify any bad actors abusing the system.
- **Fundamentally, the system relies on trust between participants.**
## Farmers: Investors in Shared Internet/Cloud Infrastructure
- Farmers invest in hardware capacity for the Internet and Cloud (web gateways, 5G, etc). This capacity can be used for cloud workloads, AI, web2, web3 or hosting Hero's of project mycelium
- Smaller farmers join a Farming Cooperative which helps with the commercial and operational duties if needed.
- Farmers earn rewards when people purchase and utilize the infrastructure capacity they invested in. Their autonomous agents (hero) handle billing, monitoring, support issues, etc.
## Shared Internet, Network & AI Services
- People can collaborate (through their Hero's) to deploy shared services
- Each of those services is co-owned by groups of people and managed through a circular governance system
- Some examples
- AI Neural networks / Language Models
- Internet Connectivity Services
- Index & Search of Internet Content
- Oracles for pricing, weather, ...
- ...

- Min passmark per cloudbox is 500 passmark (CPU benchmark)
- At least 50 GB storage available, more is better
## CloudHour (CH)
**Example a node with 64 GB or mem and 2 TB of SSD and 24 virtual cores.**
A cloudhour is like a kwatth unit for electricty: it represents a cloudbox being used for 1h and billed as such.
- 15 Storage Blocks each:
- 4 GB of memory (60 GB total)
- 120 GB of SSD capacity
- 6.4 logical CPU core (oversubscription of 4, which means user can max use 4x CPU capacity if system allows)
- when a user choses the full machine, then he/she will have reserved all Storage Blocks capacity which means the machine is now dedicated reserved for the user, the hoster specifies the discount for this typically 50%. On a dedicated machine the user has full access to the GPU.
- min 2GB always needs to be left as buffer for memory and 10% of SSD capacity
How does it work:
- When a developer wants to deploy a virtual machine, he/she needs to define the required capacity and will be able to make a choice based on these CloudBlocks, each CloudBlock has different base specs (mem, ssd, gpu, cpu) and reputation, the developer can now make a selection of how many of these Storage Blocks need to be given to the virtual machine. This defines the monthly price which will have to be paid as well as capacity available to the VM.
## Cloud Hour (CH)
A cloudhour is like a kwatth unit for electricty: it represents a CloudBlock being used for 1h and billed as such.
INCA Hosts (our cloud providers) can price the CloudHour themselves in a chosen currency.
