![](img/architecture.png) ![](img/architecture.png)
### TF Nodes (or 3Nodes) ### 3nodes
The network of nodes which make up the cloud. Each node provides compute, storage and network capacity. The network of nodes which make up the cloud. Each node provides compute, storage and network capacity.
### TF Routers ![](img/3node.png)
With the introduction of new devices in TFGrid 4.0, anyone can now operate as a network service provider. 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.
TF Routers seamlessly integrate with our Mycelium network technology, efficiently selecting the shortest path between all participants. 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.
These TF Routers are not only compatible with Wi-Fi but also with 4G and 5G networks, ensuring versatile connectivity options. ## Ultra Scalable
![](img/architecture_scalable.png)
This architecture scales to the planet.
## Zero-OS
We have build our own operating system called Zero-OS, which was based starting from a Linux Kernel with as purpose to remove all the unnecessary complexities found on contemporary OS's.
Zero-OS supports a small number of primitives, and performs low-level functions natively.
It delivers 3 primitive functions:
- storage capacity
- compute capacity
- network capacity
There is no shell, local nor remote attached to Zero-OS. Given its shell-less nature, the people and organizations, called farmers, that run 3nodes cannot issue any commands nor access its features. In that sense, Zero-OS enables a "zero people" (autonomous) Decentralzied Cloud, meaning hackers cannot get in, while also eliminating human error from the paradigm.
### Mycelium Routers
Thanks to Mycelium Routers anyone can now operate as a network service provider.
Mycelium Routers seamlessly integrate with our Mycelium network technology, efficiently selecting the shortest path between all participants.
These Mycelium Routers are not only compatible with Wi-Fi but also with 4G and 5G networks, ensuring versatile connectivity options.
## 3Bots = autonomous layer
![](img/autonous3bots.png)
### Smart Contract for IT
The purpose of the smart contract for IT is to create and enable autonomous IT. Autonomous self-driving IT is possible.
Once a smart contract for IT is created, it will be registered in the TFChain Blockchain.
### TFChain
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.
### Web Gateways
The Web Gateway is a mechanism to connect the private (overlay) networks (Mycelium) to the open Internet. By not providing an open and direct path in to the private network, a lot of malicious phishing and hacking attempts are stopped at the Web Gateway level for container applications.
### Web3 & Decentralized AI Compatibility ### Web3 & Decentralized AI Compatibility
The TFGrid is 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. 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.

## ThreeFold Capacity Layer
![](img/architecture_why_us.jpg)
### Zero-OS
ThreeFold has build its own operating system called Zero-OS, which was based starting from a Linux Kernel with as purpose to remove all the unnecessary complexities found on contemporary OS's.
Zero-OS supports a small number of primitives, and performs low-level functions natively.
It delivers 3 primitive functions:
- storage capacity
- compute capacity
- network capacity
There is no shell, local nor remote attached to Zero-OS. It does not allow for inbound network connections to happen to the core. Also, given its shell-less nature, the people and organizations, called farmers, that run 3nodes cannot issue any commands nor access its features. In that sense, Zero-OS enables a "zero people" (autonomous) Internet, meaning hackers cannot get in, while also eliminating human error from the paradigm.
### TFNode
The ThreeFold_Grid needs hardware/servers to function. Servers of all shapes and sizes can be added to the grid by anyone, anywhere in the world. The production of Internet Capacity on the Threefold Grid is called Farming and people who add these servers to the grid are called Farmers. This is a fully decentralized process and they get rewarded by the means of TFT.
Farmers download the Zero-OS operating system and boot their servers themselves. Once booted, these servers become TFNodes. The TFNodes will register themselves in a database called the TF Explorer. Once registered in the TF Explorer, the capacity of the TFNodes will become available on the TF Grid Explorer. Also, given the autonomous nature of the ThreeFold Grid, there is no need for any intermediaries between the user and TFNodes.
This enables a complete peer2peer environment for people to reserve their Internet Capacity directly from the hardware.
### Smart Contract for IT
The purpose of the smart contract for IT is to create and enable autonomous IT. Autonomous self-driving IT is possible.
Once a smart contract for IT is created, it will be registered in the TFChain Blockchain.
Learn more about smart contract for IT [here](../smartcontract_it/smartcontract_it_full.md).
### TFChain
A blockchain running on the TFGrid stores the following information (TFGrid 3.0)
- registry for all digital twins (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 the TFGrid
### Peer-to-Peer Network
The peer2peer network allows any zmachine or user to connect with other zmachine or users on the TF Grid securely, and creates a private shortest path peer2peer network.
### Web Gateway
The Web Gateway is a mechanism to connect the private (overlay) networks to the open Internet. By not providing an open and direct path in to the private network, a lot of malicious phishing and hacking attempts are stopped at the Web Gateway level for container applications.

#### Reliable Message Bus
The user sends the contractID and workload through the RMB to the destination Node.
RMB is our Reliable Message Bus, workload definitions don't get registerd on the TFChain but directly send peer2peer, this is more secure and private, the smart contract still controls the overall process.
The Node reads from the [RMB](https://github.com/threefoldtech/rmb) and sees a deploy command, it reads the contractID and workload definition from the payload.
It decodes the workload and reads the contract from chain using the contract ID, the Node will check if the user that created the contract and the deployment hash on the contract is the same as what the Node receives over RMB. If all things check out, the Node deploys the workload.
> In our ZOS 4.0 RMB will be implemented using our Mycelium network and fully integrated.

The cloud user can mix and match storage technologies as are required for their application.
## Peer2Peer Advantages
Peer2peer provides the unique proposition of selecting storage providers that match your application and service of business criteria. For example, you might be looking to store data for your application in a certain geographic area (for governance and compliance) reasons. You might also want to use different "storage policies" for different types of data. Examples are live versus archived data. All of these uses cases are possible with this storage architecture, and could be built by using the same building blocks produced by farmers and consumed by developers or end-users.
