# Ecosystem
|
|
|
|
ThreeFold aims to be a decentralized organization.
|
|
|
|
## TF Farmers
|
|
|
|
- Connect computers to our new Internet
|
|
- This means that we provide network, storage and compute (CPU, GPU) capacity and make it available over Mycelium to all participants
|
|
- More than 1000 farmers today host TF nodes and provide capacity.
|
|
- Rewards from 3.14+
|
|
- Farmers earn TFT by providing capacity.
|
|
- Farmers can earn 50% on the sold capacity if they register with the marketplace of the TF Cooperative
|
|
- Farmers will have to do KYC starting Q2 2024
|
|
- See [Farming Rewards](farming_reward.md) for more info
|
|
|
|
## Network Bridgers (Provider)
|
|
|
|
- Make bridge between old and new internet
|
|
- Provide bandwidth to TFGrid
|
|
- Todo: formalize manual and description how to become a Network Bridger
|
|
|
|
## TF Farming Pools (NEW Q2 2024)
|
|
|
|
- Help farmers to be more effective
|
|
- Training & Support
|
|
- Improve uptime and provide authenticity
|
|
|
|
The aim is to improve the service level and uptime of farming on TFGrid:
|
|
|
|
- Activities
|
|
- Deliver a service level to the community
|
|
- Support for the TF Nodes (replace nodes, make sure power is ok)
|
|
- Bandwidth providing for TF Nodes (connect network nodes to high speed internet networks)
|
|
- Manage the pricing in line to uptime, performance, etc. for all farms and nodes
|
|
- Optional: sell of TF Nodes
|
|
- Business model
|
|
- The Farming Pool collects all farming rewards for all the Nodes and redistribute the farming rewards minus a margin for the farming pool.
|
|
- There needs to be a contract (terms and conditions) between the farming pool and the farmers
|
|
- service level
|
|
- A service level needs to be defined and exposed to the rest of the world
|
|
- The T&C contracts can be arrange in OurWorld Digital Freezone if applicable.
|
|
- TF Dubai is **granting** the required tooling & information for this service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## TFNode Suppliers
|
|
|
|
- Build & Sell TFNodes to our participants
|
|
- Minimal service/support needs to be delivered
|
|
- Often part of Farming Pools or related to it
|
|
|
|
## TF Cooperative
|
|
|
|
- Our governance layer (DAO tooling can be extended)
|
|
- Cooperative we are all part off.
|
|
- The Coop directors build an organization to streamline our expansion
|
|
- Give everyone a voice and env to operate from

## TF Validators + TF Guardians
|
|

- Provide governance
|
|
- Keep all relevant services up and running to allow the TFGrid to function
