True peer2peer is a principle that exists everywhere within Threefold's technology stack, especially on its Network Architecture. Farmers produce IT capacity by connecting hardwares to the network and installing Zero-OS. The peer2peer network of devices forms the TF Grid. This TF Grid is an universal TFChain of which a large variety of IT workloads exist and run.
True peer2peer is a principle that exists everywhere in our technology stack, especially on its Network Architecture. Farmers produce IT capacity by connecting hardwares to the network and installing Zero-OS. The peer2peer network of devices forms the TF Grid. This TF Grid is an universal TFChain of which a large variety of IT workloads exist and run.
## Peer2peer networking
The TF Grid is built by TFNodes (hardware + Zero-OS) that are connected to the internet by using the IPv6 protocol. To future-proof this grid, IPv6 has been chosen as ThreeFold Grid's native networking technology. The TF Grid operates on IPv6 (where available) and creates peer2peer network connections between all the containers (and other primitives). Please find more about Zero-OS primitives in our [SDK manual](manuals).

This creates a many-to-many web of (encrypted) point-to-point network connections which together make a (private) secure **overlay network**. This network is completely private and connects only the primitives that have been deployed in your network.

## Existing Enterprise Private Networks
At Threefold, we are aware of the existence of private networks, IPsec, VPN, WAN's and more. We have the facility to create bridges to make these networks part of the deployed private overlay networks. This is in an early stage development, but with the right level(s) of interest this could be built out and carried out in the near future.

## TFGrid Flist Hub
## Flist Hub
We provide a public hub you could use to upload your own Flist or filesystem directly and take advantages of Flist out-of-box on Zero-OS.
You can convert an existing docker image the same way.
Public hub: [hub.grid.tf](https://hub.grid.tf)

# Zero-OS

![](img/zero_os_overview.jpg)
A revolutionary operating system which can be booted on most modern computers. Once installed Zero-OS locks the hardware and makes it accessible to the decentralized marketplace or a centralized ultra secure deployment system. Blockchain mechanism can be used to strongly control how workloads are deployed on the system.

## The Requirements For Our TFGrid Based On Zero OS Are:
## Requirements:
- **Autonomy**: TF Grid needs to create compute, storage and networking capacity everywhere. We could not rely on a remote (or a local) maintenance of the operating system by owners or operating system administrators.
- **Simplicity**: An operating system should be simple, able to exist anywhere for anyone, and be good for the planet.
