ThreeFold Farming is a unique concept in the ThreeFold ecosystem where individuals, called farmers, can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Deploy nodes (3Nodes) that connect to the ThreeFold Grid
|
||||
- Contribute computing resources (storage, network and compute) to the decentralized ThreeFold Grid
|
||||
- Earn rewards for providing capacity and when the 3Nodes have utilization
|
||||
- Support a peer-to-peer cloud infrastructure alternative to centralized providers
|
||||
- Contribute computing resources (data, cloud and network) to the decentralized ThreeFold Grid
|
||||
- Earn rewards for providing capacity on the grid
|
||||
- Earn rewards when there is utilization on their nodes
|
||||
- Support a peer-to-peer cloud infrastructure alternative to centralized providers
|
||||
|
||||
## A Farmer's Journey
|
||||
|
||||
ThreeFold farmers are individuals and organizations who operate nodes that provide capacity to the ThreeFold network. Since these nodes are standard computer hardware that runs ThreeFold's self-healing Zero-OS operating system, farmers simply need to provide electricity and network connectivity to the nodes. As the nodes operate mostly autonomously, little to no administration work is required by the farmers, though they may need to replace faulty hardware from time to time.
|
||||
|
||||
Farmers have been the backbone of the grid for years now. Thanks to every farmer out there!

## What is the ThreeFold Grid?
|
||||
|
||||
The ThreeFold Grid is peer-to-peer cloud computing network that reimagines internet infrastructure through decentralization, sustainability, and user empowerment.
|
||||
The ThreeFold Grid is the only system in the world capable of delivering self-healing data, network and cloud at a planetary scale.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Characteristics
|
||||
The ThreeFold Grid allows individuals, organizations, communities, countries, and network states to deploy their own sovereign Internet infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
### Decentralized Architecture
|
||||
- No central control points
|
||||
- Distributed computing resources across global nodes
|
||||
- Removes dependency on traditional cloud providers
|
||||
The ThreeFold Grid has been live and operational since 2017 and and is live in more than 60 countries with thousands of nodes online.
|
||||
|
||||
### Infrastructure Components
|
||||
- Powered by independent "Farmers" who contribute computing resources
|
||||
- Nodes provide storage, computational power, and network capacity
|
||||
- Geographically dispersed to ensure resilience and reduced latency
|
||||
## Decentralized Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
The ThreeFold decentralized architecture has key features.
|
||||
|
||||
- There is no central control points
|
||||
- Governance is done via the ThreeFold decentralized autonomous organization (TFDAO)
|
||||
- It removes dependency on traditional cloud providers
|
||||
- Anyone can offer resources on the grid
|
||||
- Farmers offer data, network and cloud capacity by hosting nodes on the grid
|
||||
- Anyone can use resources on the grid
|
||||
- The [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf) allows anyone to deploy one-click industry standard apps and workloads
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Foundation
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Technologies
|
||||
ThreeFold has built core technologies over the years.
|
||||
|
||||
- Blockchain-based resource allocation with the ThreeFold Chain (TFChain)
|
||||
- Secure, transparent transaction mechanisms thanks to smart contracts
|
||||
- Zero-OS: Custom lightweight operating system for nodes built on the Linux kernel
|
||||
- Self-healing and automated resource management via bare metal ThreeFold nodes
|
||||
- End-to-end encrypted network always using the shortest path
|
||||
- Storage resistant to quantum computer attacks
|
||||
|
||||
## Concrete Flow - Protocols
|
||||
|
||||
- Farmers deploy nodes to the ThreeFold Grid providing data, network and cloud resources
|
||||
- Resources are verified via the **Proof-of-Capacity** minting protocol and made available for workload deployments
|
||||
- Users can rent data, network and cloud resources directly through the network via the **Proof-of-Utilization** payment protocol
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Unique Value Propositions
|
||||
|
||||
With a *planet and people-first* philosophy, ThreeFold proposes a new way forward.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Privacy**: Direct control over personal data
|
||||
2. **Sustainability**: Reduced energy consumption compared to centralized data centers
|
||||
3. **Economic Empowerment**: Individuals can monetize their computing resources
|
||||
4. **Global Accessibility**: Internet infrastructure for underserved regions
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
- Farmers deploy nodes to the ThreeFold Grid
|
||||
- Resources are verified and made available for workload deployment
|
||||
- Users can rent computing resources directly through the network
|
||||
2. **Global Accessibility**: Internet infrastructure for underserved regions
|
||||
3. **Sustainability**: Reduced energy consumption compared to centralized data centers
|
||||
4. **Economic Empowerment**: Reward mechanism for individuals providing grid resources
|
||||
5. **Community-driven**: Changes and enhancements to the grid voted by the TFDAO
|
||||
|
||||
## Vision
|
||||
|
||||
The ThreeFold Grid aims to create a more democratic, efficient, and sustainable internet infrastructure that returns control to individual users and reduces reliance on centralized tech giants.
