# ThreeFold Manual
*Welcome to the ThreeFold Manual!*
This manual is organized in two main sections:
- [ThreeFold Knowledge Base](manual@@knowledge_base)
- [ThreeFold Documentation](manual@@documentation)
The *ThreeFold Knowledge Base* section contains all information needed to understand how the whole ThreeFold ecosystem works.
The *ThreeFold Documentation* section contains all the practical information of the ThreeFold Grid, from general information covering the multi-functional [ThreeFold Dashboard](dashboard@@dashboard), the versatile [ThreeFold Connect app](tfconnect@@tfconnect_toc), [TFT](threefold_token@@threefold_token) and our community-based [FAQ](faq@@faq), to specific tutorials for [developers](developers@@developers), [farmers](farmers@@farmers) and [system administrators](system_administrators@@system_administrators).

## Get Started
It's easy to get started on the TFGrid.
If you want to farm TFT, check out [how to build a 3Node](documentation@@3node_building).
If you want to deploy or develop on the grid, you will first need to get TFT on TFChain:
- [Create a TFChain account](dashboard@@wallet_connector)
- Get TFT in your TFChain account
- [Buy TFT](threefold_token@@buy_sell_tft)
- [Send TFT to TFChain](threefold_token@@tft_bridges)
To develop on the Grid, read the [developers documentation](developers@@developers).
To deploy applications, read the [deploy section](dashboard@@deploy) then [access the deployment via SSH](system_administrators@@ssh_guide).
