+For the ThreerFold V4, we are introducing a marketplace where farmers can offer resources and where third parties can use the grid infrastructure. Farmers can define prices for cloud, compute and storage slices. The marketplace has mimimum and maximum price range for each type of slice to avoid abuse and ensure a fair market.

+# Farming Pools
+
+A farming pool has certain tasks and responsibility. In exchange of their work, farming pools receive rewards. 
+
+## Setting Rewards
+
+Those rewards are first defined by the grid, see [Grid Utilization](./grid_utilization.md). Then, starting end of 2025, each farming pool will define slice prices and rewards to farmers.
+
+## Tasks and Responsibility
+
+A Farming pool takes care of the following:
+
+- Define SLA's, T&C's, Customer Onboarding, ...	
+- Support (replace broken nodes)	
+- Management infrastructure (monitoring, billing, ...)	
+- Sales of The Nodes (or work with vendor(s))	
+- Communication with the Farmers in the Pool	
+- Price Definition (define sales prices of the slices)	
+
+> Note: As a farmer choses a farming pool, they will have to give a part of their reward to the farming pool.

+# Offer Ressources
+
+## Pricing
+
+Farmers and farming pools can decide on their own price but between the min and max as specified below.
+
+## Utilization Rewards Distribution
+
+The utilization rewards are distribute in a fair and simple manner:
+
+- 60% goes to the farmer hosting the node
+  - As a reward to provide resources to users
+  - > Note: Without counting the guaranteed reward for 18 months
+- 20% goes to the Farming Pool
+  - As a reward to provide support, SLA, etc.
+- 20% to ThreeFold, Guardians, Validators
+  - As a reward to host, stabilize and secure the grid
+
+## ZOS V4 Certified Rewards
+
+Farmers will get monthly rewards by providing resources to the ThreerFold Grid V4.
+
+The following rewards are guaranteed for a 18-month period starting from activation.
+
+| Components | Rewards (INCA/month) |
+|---|---|
+| GB Memory | 8.0 |
+| GPU GB | 10 |
+| TB SSD | 31.5 |
+| TB HDD | 7.0 |
+| TB Network | 30.0 | 
+
+The tokens received as rewards are locked up for 24 months, or until 40% used of the node is used for a whole month. There is a gradual release of tokens. The release schedule starts the moment the node is activated on the grid. The detailed reward release distribution will be communicated when it is clearly defined.
+
+## Minimum Node Specs
+
+- The minimum CPU passmark per GB of memory is 200.
+- The minimum GB of memory is 16GB
+- The minimum TB of SSd is 2TB
+
+> Note: This is subject to change. We are still working on the marketplac specs.

+# Overview
+
+For the ThreerFold V4, we are introducing a marketplace where farmers can offer resources and where third parties can use the grid infrastructure.
+
+## Benefits
+
+There are clear benefits to the marketplace we will implement:
+
+- Utilization of FIAT currencies (CHF, USD, EUR, ...)
+- Better utilization of hardware capacity.
+- Farmers can define their own price, means market mechanism define price in relation to quality and supply
+- Easier for users to find right priced service
+- Easier to monitor and enforce SLA's
+- Easier to track utilization and expansion
+- Can and will be extended to other Internet and cloud services
