The ThreeFold Grid Provides the IT energy

Each TFNode is an IT Power generator. The TFGrid is the network of these TFNodes.

Needs to be super simple, just like a solar panel generates electricity.

• The 3nodes do for internet what solar panels do for large scale electricity power plants.
• They allow everyone to contribute to a new internet.
• People investing in the 3nodes are called farmers.
• Each farmer receives tokens called TFT for providing this IT capacity.
• IT Capacity is storage, compute and network capacity for this upgraded internet.
• The Twins need TFT to pay for the IT capacity they need.
