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 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

Details

  • TF Coop is a cooperative with as goal to streamline how the ecosystem works together to create their own digital future.
  • TF Coop needs 9 directors to get started. See the forum for more info soon.
  • TF Coop gets income from utilization and possibly from its members in the future.
  • Every user of the TFGrid in the future will have to be a member.

TF Validators + TF Guardians

Guardians:

  • Protect the network

  • Provide governance

  • Keep all relevant services up and running to allow the TFGrid to function

  • Guardians run a TF Validator which has all components as are required to let the TFGrid decentralized components function

  • We need 9 guardians, each guardian has to be technical capable to run this full tech stack

  • Read more on validators

  • TF Guardians don't vote: they run super important infrastructure and need to validate the soundness of the tech used

TF Dubai

  • TF Dubai is now developing commercial services and products on top of the TFGrid.
  • TF Dubai is a big sponsor for the TFGrid and will keep on doing so.

  • This Digital FreeZone allows us to structure Digital Assets and some of our future digital Projects

Expaneded Ecosystem

Service / Solution Providers

  • They create & provide solutions and/or services on top of TFGrid
  • Customers of these solutions pay in INCA (providing value to our mutual credit currency)
  • Each solution has T&C
  • Each solution needs to be supported

Technology providers

  • Create opensource technology as can be used in the TFGrid
  • Grants might be available to reward Technology Providers
  • TFTech (will get new name) is example of Technology Provider
