## Introduction
ThreeFold blockchain (aka TFChain) serves as a registry for Nodes, Farms, Digital Twins and Smart Contracts.
It is the backbone of [ZOS](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zos) and other components.

## Create a TFChain twin
A twin is a unique identifier linked to a specific account on a given TFChain network.
Actually there are 2 ways to create a twin:
- With the [Dashboard](dashboard@@wallet_connector)
- a twin is automatically generated while creating a TFChain account
- With the TFConnect app
- a twin is automatically generated while creating a farm (in this case the twin will be created on mainnet)
## Get your twin ID
One can retrieve the twin ID associated to his account going to `Developer` -> `Chain state` -> `tfgridModule` -> `twinIdByAccountID()`.
