Farming is the process of adding Internet capacity (compute, storage and network) to the ThreeFold Grid.
ThreeFold uses a proof-of-blockstake consensus mechanism. By running Zero-OS on their hardware, Farmers dedicate the computation power and storage capacity of their node to the network, enabling anyone to host data and run IT workloads on a decentralized Internet infrastructure.
TODO: we have better one (note: image? could not find)
In decentralized systems like ThreeFold, we need to ensure that everyone is able to provide Internet capacity to the world. Farmers help this happen by connecting hardware that run Zero-OS. Once booted, the hardware is locked to generate Internet capacity for the network. The capacity is registered on TFChain, securing access to a decentralized Internet for users and rewarding farmers with TFT.
