-## Overview
-
-It can be a somewhat daunting task trying to get a handle on _AstroWind_ internals, and particularly various points of usage.
-
-This page outlines and clarifies some of the techniques found in _AstroWind_. Use it as a guide for further modification, or an instructional for techniques to use in your own endeavors.
-
-## Styling
-
-As the name suggests, _AstroWind_ relies on _TailWind_ for styling. Furthermore, _AstroWind_ defines custom low level style settings which are incorporated into _TailWind_ seamlessly, and which provides consistency for higher level styling constructs, as well as enabling dark mode.
-
-The styling mechanism consists of the following files (all paths are prefixed with `/src/` ):
-
-
- This file is essentially an extension of _TailWind's_ base.css. High-level component styles are defined here. Note
- also styling on elements selected by 'attribute' selectors at the bottom of the files, particularly those selected by
- 'data' attributes.
-
-
- Defines custom colors and fonts. For these to take effect in the 'base.css' file, they need to be loaded in the html
- header section. See next.
-
-
- This layout is used for all of the pages rendered by _AstroWind_. The contents of _tailwind.css_ and
- _CustomStyles.astro_ component, described above, is injected into the html header.
-
-
-### Dark Mode
-
-_Dark Mode_ is triggered by the little 'sunlight' icon:
-
-```
-
-### Alternate usage
-
-There's another way we can use slots, useful particularly when a component can have markdown content is as follows (study carefully...):
-
-```astro
----
-// (file: MyComponent.astro)
-
-const { title } = Astro.props;
-export interface Props {
- title: string;
-}
-const content: string = await Astro.props.render('default');
----
-
-// renders the html to the 'content' variable
-### Here is some markdown content - With a bullet item.
-```
-
-_MyComponent_ renders the markdown to html and then injects it into the div.
-
-This actually has a big advantage -- consider that with the normal usage you don't have access to the slot contents: _Astro_ just plops the content into the _<slot/>_ tag. Using this method, however, allows you to access the content and further manipulate it before it gets inserted into the html.
-
-This allows a great deal of flexibility in component design.
-
-### Yet Another Step
-
-Now, we get to the techniques used in _AstroWind_, we'll use the _pages/index.astro_ file to illustrate.
-
-You'll note that the index file imports a lot of components, each one roughly analagous to a panel in the index page. Each of these components, in turn, is instantiated sequentially throughout the page. But, you'll notice that some of them use this kind of construct (we'll use the last section, _CallToAction_, as it is most illustrative of the technique):
-
-```astro
-
-
- Astro +
Tailwind CSS -
-
-
- Be very surprised by these huge fake numbers you are seeing on this page.
Don't waste - more time! :P -
-
-```
-
-Some things to note, here:
-
-
- This argument is actually being passed a javascript object -- not a string. (However, in the TS definition, it could
- be a string...)
-
-
- Furthermore, these <Fragment/> elements each have a _slot="(value)"_ specifier.
-
-
-The latter seems odd, because <Fragment/> is a built-in component over which you have no control, and doesn't have a provision for rendering slots, per se.
-
-The answer lies in a paragraph in the _Astro_ docs, slots section, which states:
-
-> Use a `slot="my-slot"` attribute on the child element that you want to pass through to a matching slot `name="my-slot" />` placeholder in your component.
-
-That's pretty concise and a bit of a head-scratcher to read, but basically what it says is that:
-
-1. Given a component that defines a slot:
-1. you can reference a slot from a child element of that component and,
-1. provide content to the parent component's slot from the child by naming the slot in the child with a `slot=""` property assignment, where the _slot-name_ is the parent's slot.
-
-So, in the example above, the _CallToAction_ component defines the _subtitle_ slot, and the following _<Fragment slot="subtitle">_ populates the slot with the following content:
-
-```astro
-
- Be very surprised by these huge fake numbers you are seeing on this page.
Don't waste - more time! :P -
-```
-
-And, the _CallToAction_ component defines and renders it thusly:
-
-```astro
----
-//...
-const { subtitle = await Astro.slots.render('subtitle') } = Astro.props;
----
-
-//...
-{subtitle && }
-//...
-```
-
-There's a lot to wrap your head around, here.
-
-Notice first that _subtitle_ is defined as a prop/argument, but it's being processed as a slot. Interestingly, prop args and slots seem to be somewhat interchangeable: if the subtitle was just a string, it would simply take that assignment. The main difference is that if you render them independently, you have to call the render with an _await_ modifier.

+
+Hi there and welcome to ThreeFold Grid Testing: Part One!
+
+
+
+In this blog, we will introduce you to the overall cycle of testing on the TFGrid. Before releasing anything to the mainnet, TF engineers test three different networks: Devnet, Qanet, and Testnet. Testing also continues on the Mainnet even after the release of the updates. Today, we will go through the major steps of this process.
+
+### **But first – why is testing important?**
+
+Testing upgrades as they're developed ensures we have a stable operation of the TFGrid that is constantly optimal for our community. It lets us see what works well and what still needs fixing. By the time our community gets these upgrades, they've been tested many times to make sure they're top-notch.
+
+
+
+When it comes to testing the developments on the ThreeFold Grid, we need to be careful, especially when we're doing separate tests from the different networks. If we don't focus on testing the developments independently, testing can become a lot slower and more complicated.
+
+
+
+**Different networks for testing:** We test on 3 different networks before we release anything on Mainnet.
+
+
+
+
+
+### **Testing all Networks sequentially**
+
+Our journey through these networks follows a well-defined path.
+
+
+
+First, verification starts on Devnet with the dev team leading the validation process. Once the development team approves, we release the grid to the Qanet for further examination.
+
+
+
+The QA teams conduct iterative test runs within Qanet, leading to a Bug Assessment Meeting to address reported issues. If the release is deemed ready for deployment, it moves to Testnet for an extended observation period.
+
+
+
+Following two weeks of rigorous testing on Testnet releases advance to Mainnet once a community vote approves a Grid Enhancement Proposal, indicating readiness for widespread adoption. As the release enters Mainnet, QA teams begin new test iterations to ensure a smooth transition for user accessibility.
+
+
+
+
+
+Testing is done both manually and automated:
+
+
+
+**Manual testing:** At the core of our testing process is the thorough manual inspection of components using the advanced [Testlodge](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/collaboration/testing/testlodge.html) tool.
+
+
+
+**Automation Testing:** We also run Automated scripts on GitHub actions daily; to give us an early indication about the TFGrid.
+
+
+
+We will go through these two types of testing further in part two.
+
+### **Conclusion**
+
+The testing journey within the ThreeFold Grid is intentionally and necessarily thorough, a delicate balance between manual precision and automated finesse, all designed to provide a strong and reliable cloud infrastructure for our users. Next time, stay tuned for more updates on how we conduct these tests and how they help us improve the grid's reliability. [Join us](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) as we strive for excellence and continue to advance in the world of decentralized technology.

+
+In our [last post](https://www.threefold.io/blog/how-to-test-the-grid-part-one/), we started to explore what it means to test the ThreeFold Grid by highlighting the key processes and the benefits or reasons. Now, we continue our discovery path through the detailed testing process. In this post, we go deeper into two different ways of testing: Manual and Automation. Each is important, combining to ensure a strong and dependable TF Grid.
+
+### **Manual Testing**
+
+The thorough [manual inspection](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/collaboration/testing/testing_readme.html?highlight=manual%20testing#manual-testing) of components using the [Testlodge tool](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/collaboration/testing/testlodge.html) is at the core of our testing process. This tool acts as our guide, leading us through an array of test cases customized for each grid component. We guarantee comprehensive coverage of all grid components by organizing tests manually in specific test suites.
+
+
+ +When a release candidate arrives from the development phase, our manual test executions come into play. Through meticulous examination, we confirm the smooth operation of each component. Any inconsistencies found during testing are promptly recorded using GitHub issues, facilitating quick resolution in future iterations. + +
+ +Components such as Dashboard & Deployments, Mycelium, TF-Robot, Terraform, TF-Grid-Client, TF-Grid-Proxy, TF chain, Caprover, Kubernetes, and Farmerbot are examples of what undergoes our scrutiny. + +### **Why Manual Testing is Important:** + +Any new changes added to the grid should first undergo manual testing before going through automation testing. The fundamental principle of testing is that “100% automation is not possible” which makes manual testing necessary. + +
+ +The main idea behind manual testing is to make sure that the grid is free of errors and that it is operating following the stated functional requirements in the manual and documentation. Additionally, it ensures that developers fix reported faults and that testers retest them. + +
+ +Also, manual testing simulates the real-time behavior of the end user and how they think when they use our TF Grid solution, which allows us to do better UX design to meet everyone's expectations. + +
+ + + +### **Automation Testing** + +[Automation scripts](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/collaboration/testing/testing_readme.html#automation-testing) are essential in strengthening our testing capabilities and our manual efforts. By utilizing [GitHub actions](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tfgrid-sdk-ts/actions), we run automated scripts daily to gain early insights into the health of the TF Grid. Our in-house automation tool, [TF-Robot](https://manual.grid.tf/documentation/developers/tfrobot/tfrobot.html?highlight=TFRo#), leads the deployment process on the grid with exceptional efficiency. + +
+ +TF-Robot is a cornerstone of automation, streamlining the deployment of various virtual machines across the ThreeFold Grid. With its capacity to manage large-scale deployments and offer multiple retries for unsuccessful attempts, TF-Robot enables users to navigate the grid seamlessly. Additionally, we leverage its functionalities to ensure the viability of registered nodes by deploying on active nodes regularly to confirm their suitability for deployment. + +
+ +We use GitHub Actions to run our automated tests. These tests – ranging from testing solution deployments, to the status / health of all nodes, to the dashboard UI – are triggered by certain behaviors or activities: + +
+ +- Any code change triggers certain tests +- Tests also run during code reviews +- Some tests run every day, like the Grid Client Nightly and Grid Client Tests +- Other tests run every 6 hours, like Mass Deployments + +### **Why Automation Testing is Important:** + +Automation testing speeds up the testing process significantly compared to manual testing. Automated tests can run anytime, including nights and weekends, allowing for continuous testing and faster development cycles. This reduces testing time and labor costs, making it a cost-effective approach in the long run. +Automation helps identify issues and defects in the software early in the development process, making them easier and less expensive to fix. Automated test scripts are reusable and can be used throughout different phases of development, even if there are changes in the software's user interface. + +
+ +Sometimes, a node may be misconfigured or have defective hardware. In our automation testing, we run tests like Mass Deployer or TF-Robot, which loop over all online nodes and attempt deployments on them to detect problematic nodes or misconfigured ones early. + +
+ +Additionally, nightly test runs for different test suites (dashboard UI, TS client) can detect incorrect code deployments early and alert developers to fix the pushed code that may affect unexpected parts of the project. + +### **How to Report an Error/Issue/Bug Found While Testing:** + +All errors found during testing are reported [on GitHub](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tfgrid-sdk-ts/issues). Based on findings, the repository has two templates to choose from: Bug Report and Feature Request. Follow these steps: + +
+ +1. Click on the provided GitHub link. +2. Choose "New Issue." +3. Select either of the templates and fill it out accordingly. +4. Click on "Submit." + +
+ +One of our developers will then work on resolving the issue. We have already fixed over 1,200 issues to date. + +
+ +Testing is a key aspect of maintaining a reliable cloud infrastructure. Because testing is such a thorough process, we can catch and correct bugs before they make their way to mainnet, our “production” environment. A big thanks to all those who have contributed to testing the grid to date, and we invite anyone to [join the testing community](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) and take part in ensuring a smooth and reliable ThreeFold Grid. diff --git a/src/content/post/landing.md b/src/content/post/landing.md index e5eac32..a935ddc 100644 --- a/src/content/post/landing.md +++ b/src/content/post/landing.md @@ -1,152 +1,151 @@ --- -publishDate: 2023-07-15T00:00:00Z -title: 'Mastering Landing Pages: Practical Guide for 2023' -excerpt: Ever clicked on an ad and found yourself on a page that seemed to really want you to do something?

Enter the world of Landing Pages, the unsung heroes of digital marketing. With the power of the AstroWind template, developed using Astro and Tailwind CSS, crafting these pages becomes even more intuitive. Let's dive deep into understanding, creating, and optimizing them. +Just as the Earth is made up of layers—from the crust to the core — so too is the Internet, with three key layers: compute & storage, network, and applications. Distinguishing these layers helps us to understand how digital information is currently processed, stored, and accessed across the globe and how ThreeFold technology can transform this model. ThreeFold can be likened to tectonic forces, reshaping the digital landscape by introducing improved ways for these layers to interact. Let’s break down these three layers, their current challenges, and ThreeFold’s approach to each of them. -## Landing Pages Unveiled +### **Compute & Storage** -A **Landing Page** is a standalone web page, distinct from your main website. Crafted with a singular objective: to convert visitors into actionable leads or sales. It's where a visitor "lands" post-clicking on a marketing link or ad. +**What it is:** -Imagine clicking on an ad for a limited-time discount on a popular shoe brand. This action guides you to a page that showcases the discounted shoes, featuring a clear "Buy Now" button. That's a Landing Page in action, focusing your attention solely on the offer. +
-## The Power of Precision +Compute is responsible for processing data. It runs programs and applications by leveraging computational resources like CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). It handles the calculations, logic, and running of software that users depend on. Compute resources are provided by servers located in centralized data centers and cloud platforms. -Unlike a homepage brimming with diverse content, a Landing Page is laser-focused. It eliminates potential distractions like excessive navigation, ensuring the visitor's attention remains undivided. The result? Higher conversion rates and a more streamlined user experience. +
- +Storage is about saving and retrieving data. It provides a persistent way to store data so that it can be accessed in the future. This encompasses various types of storage media, such as hard drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and distributed storage systems that span across multiple locations. Storage ensures that data is kept safe and available for when it's needed, either for immediate use by applications or for long-term retention. -Think of a Landing Page as a digital salesperson. Just as a salesperson would pitch a product without distractions, a Landing Page promotes an offer without unnecessary links or information. It's like walking into a store with a single product on display, making your choice straightforward. +
-## Why Landing Pages Matter +**The problem with the current model:** -In today's digital rush, hoping customers stumble upon you is a strategy of the past. Landing Pages are the future. They: +
-- **Guide Traffic**: Directing visitors seamlessly through the sales funnel. -- **Boost ROI**: Maximizing returns on marketing investments. -- **Personalize User Experience**: Tailoring content to specific audience segments. +A key problem with the current compute & storage layer lies in its centralized structure, which creates vulnerabilities, scalability challenges, and performance issues. Relying on centralized data centers and cloud platforms leads to single points of failure, which increases the risk of outages and cyberattacks, thus heightening concerns about service disruption and data security. Scaling this centralized infrastructure to meet increasing demand is costly and not straightforward, while latency issues hinder real-time data processing. -For instance, if you're launching a new fitness app. A well-crafted Landing Page can target individuals interested in health and wellness, offering them a free trial. This targeted approach ensures that those genuinely interested in fitness are the ones you're engaging with. +
-## Crafting the Perfect Landing Page +The concentration of the compute & storage within data centers primarily located in Europe, North America, or China raises significant concerns. This geographical bias in Internet infrastructure keeps data, jobs, and economic benefits centralized in certain regions, putting developing areas at a disadvantage and raising concerns around data sovereignty and autonomy. -Every element of your Landing Page should resonate with its core objective. Here's what a high-converting Landing Page entails: +
-- **Benefit-Centric Headline**: Your headline should instantly convey the value proposition. -- **Engaging Imagery**: Visuals that complement and enhance the content. -- **Compelling Copy**: Clear, concise, and persuasive text that speaks directly to the visitor's needs. -- **Clear Call-to-Action (CTA)**: A standout button or link urging the visitor to take action. -- **Minimalist Design**: A clutter-free layout that emphasizes the offer. For example, using a Tailwind CSS web template like AstroWind. -- **Trust Indicators**: Endorsements, reviews, and badges that bolster credibility. +For example, when two people in Zanzibar undertake a video call, their call data is sent to a data center in Europe via costly fiber optics, wasting resources and diminishing performance. This scenario represents a broader problem affecting various locations and use cases. This inefficient and inequitable system can be changed. -Imagine browsing online for a writing course. You land on a page with a captivating headline: "Unlock the Writer Within." Below, there's an engaging image of a person writing, followed by persuasive text and a bright "Enroll Now" button. This Landing Page has effectively used its elements to entice you to sign up. +
-## Homepage vs. Landing Page + -While both are pivotal, they serve distinct roles: +
-- **Homepage**: Offers a panoramic view of your brand, catering to diverse visitor intents. -- **Landing Page**: Zeros in on a single, specific action, be it signing up, purchasing, or downloading. +**The ThreeFold model:** -Consider a popular online store. Their homepage might display various product categories, from electronics to clothing. However, if they’re promoting a summer sale, the Landing Page would focus solely on summer products. This focused approach urges visitors to take action, encouraging them to "Shop the Summer Sale Now!" +
-## The Art of Optimization +ThreeFold decentralizes compute & storage by distributing it across a global network of independent nodes rather than concentrating it in large data centers. Autonomous technology allows us to remove most human involvement from the equation. This approach allows anyone, regardless of technical know-how, to contribute compute & storage to the network or utilize it for their own applications. In essence, the compute & storage layer becomes co-owned, allowing anyone to become a cloud provider. -The digital realm is ever-evolving. Regular tweaks based on analytics can ensure your Landing Page remains a conversion powerhouse. Embrace A/B testing to compare different versions and refine for optimal results. +
-Let's say you have a Landing Page for a new skincare product. Version A uses an image of the product, while Version B showcases a video review. A/B testing might reveal that Version B, with the video, has a 20% higher conversion rate. Such insights can be invaluable for future campaigns. +ThreeFold’s autonomous technology efficiently allocates compute resources, increasing performance and reliability while reducing energy consumption. The distributed storage system fragments data and stores it securely across multiple locations, ensuring that data is always recoverable. Data security is also enhanced as there is no central repository for attackers to target. In this decentralized model, individuals' data remains within their country's borders, safeguarding their information from being exploited as a commodity by external entities. Storing data closer to the end user reduces latency and improves access speeds. -## Landing Pages in Action +
-Landing Pages are versatile tools in your marketing toolkit. They play a role in various scenarios: promoting a product launch, capturing emails for a newsletter, or driving event registrations. They’re not just about capturing leads but nurturing and converting them. +Let's revisit the scenario of a video call between two individuals in Zanzibar. With ThreeFold technology, call data will be sent directly between local ThreeFold nodes. These nodes are deployed locally by people and organizations, avoiding centralized ownership by major tech corporations. Instead of relying on data centers thousands of miles away, our decentralized infrastructure significantly shortens the connection distance. The pair in Zanzibar can now communicate peer-to-peer, reducing bandwidth needs by up to 10 times while boosting security. -Presented below are several prevalent types of Landing Pages. Each link offers a prime example of its respective type. Additionally, we carefully craft each link in the form of a comprehensive guide. +
-This approach ensures that you observe the best practices in action. Also, it enables you to acquire a step-by-step understanding of how to skillfully create each type. + -### [Lead Generation Landing Page](landing/lead-generation) +
-**Purpose**: Designed primarily to capture user data, such as email addresses or contact details. +### **Network** -**Content**: Usually includes a form where users can input their details. It also highlights what they'll get in return, such as an eBook, a webinar, or a free trial. +**What it is:** -**Focus**: Enticing visitors to provide their personal details by offering something valuable in return. +
-**Key Differentiator**: Unlike “Click-through Landing Pages,” which guide users to another step, these directly gather user data. +The purpose of the network layer of the Internet is to send data packets from their source (point A) to their destination (point B) across multiple networks. Data packets are small pieces of information which include the data being sent and details like where it's coming from and where it's going. They can be thought of as small parcels of data that travel through the Internet. These parcels can take different paths to reach their destination and once they arrive they are put back together to form the original data. -**Example**: A digital marketing agency offering a free SEO audit in exchange for business contact details. +
-### [Long-form Sales Landing Page](landing/sales) +The network operates on protocols like IP (Internet Protocol), which assigns unique addresses to devices on the Internet to ensure data reaches the correct location. The network layer handles the path selection and directs data packets through various routers and networks to reach its destination. This layer enables communication between devices in different networks, ensuring efficient delivery across the vast expanse of the Internet. -**Purpose**: Primarily designed to sell, aiming to persuade and convert visitors into customers. +
-**Content**: Extensive, providing a wealth of information including product details, benefits, user stories, success stories, guarantees, and bonuses. +**The problem with the current model:** -**Focus**: Utilizes a narrative to present a problem and offer the product or service as the solution. The aim is to emotionally connect with the visitor. +
-**Key Differentiator**: While 'Click-through Landing Pages' warm up the visitor for a bigger commitment. 'Long-form Sales Landing Pages' aim to close the sale directly on the page. +The current model of the network layer relies heavily on traditional routing protocols and infrastructure, which often lead to inefficiencies and vulnerabilities. Centralized routing mechanisms may result in suboptimal path selection, leading to longer latency and decreased network performance. As highlighted in the picture below, the path that these data packets take in the current system can be very complex and ineffective. The reliance on a centralized architecture makes the network susceptible to single points of failure and cyberattacks. Traditional networks lack inherent privacy and security measures, leaving data vulnerable to interception and unauthorized access during transmission. The lack of scalability, reliability, and security of the current network model highlights the need for a new approach. -**Example**: A weight loss program detailing a person's journey and the challenges they've faced. It also highlights how the program assisted them and why it's an ideal solution for others. +
-### [Click-through Landing Page](landing/click-through) + -**Purpose**: Acts as a middle step, warming up visitors for a bigger commitment. +Credit: Lazario Gamio, 2015, [The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/security-of-the-internet/bgp/) -**Content**: Provides essential details and benefits of an offer, urging visitors to click through to another page. +
-**Focus**: To lead visitors to the final conversion point, be it a checkout page or a sign-up form. +**The ThreeFold model:** -**Key Differentiator**: Unlike "Subscription Landing Pages" that aim for a recurring commitment, these lead to a one-time action. +
-**Example**: An online store showcasing a new product's benefits, leading visitors to the purchase page. +ThreeFold is disrupting the network layer through its new Mycelium technology, a true peer-to-peer mesh network. It is the only overlay network in the world capable of taking locality into consideration, routing decisions based on proximity between individuals, and selecting the quickest route possible. This addresses the current system’s suboptimal path selection as visualized above. In this new model data packets take the quickest route from point A to point B. Mycelium also ensures end-to-end encryption for all traffic, enhancing data privacy and security. This new 'always-on' network offers continuous connectivity and seamless access to resources, even in the face of network disruptions or outages. -### [Product Details Landing Page](landing/product) +
-**Purpose**: Designed to inform by providing specific details about a product or service. + -**Content**: Focuses on features, specifications, and benefits. May include high-quality images, detailed descriptions, demo videos, and user reviews. +Credit: Haseeb Qureshi, 2019, [Nakamoto](https://nakamoto.com/p2p-networking/) -**Focus**: Presents the product or service transparently and attractively. +
-**Key Differentiator**: While 'Long-form Sales Landing Pages' aim to persuade through narratives and overcoming objections. 'Product Details Landing Pages' focus on presenting the product or service in a clear and detailed manner. +### **Applications** -**Example**: A tech website detailing a new laptop's specifications, unique features, comparisons with previous models, and user reviews. +**What it is:** -### [Coming Soon or Pre-Launch Landing Page](landing/pre-launch) +
-**Purpose**: Creates excitement for an upcoming product, service, or event. +At the top of the Internet stack are applications — the user-facing software that provides the services and experiences we interact with daily. Applications range from web browsers and social media to more complex systems like blockchain platforms and decentralized apps (dApps). They are the interface through which users interact with the digital world. -**Content**: Often includes a countdown timer, teaser content, and an option to sign up for notifications. +
-**Focus**: To generate buzz and capture early interest. +**The problem with the current model:** -**Key Differentiator**: Unlike other landing pages that present available offers, these promote something not yet accessible. +
-**Example**: A game developer teasing their upcoming game release with sneak peeks and an option for early access. +The problem with the current model is the lack of control over our digital identities. Currently, users are scattered across numerous platforms, each hosting their data separately. This means that individuals exist in multiple instances online, with their personal information spread across different servers and databases controlled by different applications (visualized in the picture below). This fragmentation not only leads to redundancy but also raises concerns about security, privacy, and control over personal data. Users are forced to trust multiple third-party applications with their sensitive information, often without transparency or control over how their data is used or shared. The centralized nature of these applications exposes users to risks such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and exploitation of personal information for targeted advertising or other purposes. In the existing system, users are at the mercy of application providers, who dictate the terms of service and privacy policies. This asymmetry in power dynamics leaves users with limited options to protect their privacy or exercise control over their data. -### [Subscription Landing Page](landing/subscription) +
-**Purpose**: Encourages visitors to subscribe to a service, newsletter, or recurring product. + -**Content**: Highlights the benefits of subscribing, often offering special deals or exclusive content for subscribers. +
-**Focus**: To secure a long-term commitment from the visitor. +**The ThreeFold model:** -**Key Differentiator**: Unlike "Click-through Landing Pages" that lead to a one-time action, these aim for a recurring commitment. +
-**Example**: A magazine promoting its monthly subscription, detailing exclusive articles and special subscriber-only benefits. +ThreeFold delivers a decentralized and user-centric approach to the application layer, empowering users and developers. By providing access to decentralized compute, storage, and networking resources, ThreeFold facilitates the development and deployment of decentralized applications (dApps) within its ecosystem. Unlike traditional centralized applications, which rely on proprietary infrastructure and are subject to the control of centralized entities, dApps built on ThreeFold operate within a decentralized environment increasing security and privacy. Users have greater autonomy and control over their digital identities and data. Instead of being scattered across numerous platforms with data hosted separately, users have one digital identity. This reduces fragmentation and eliminates the need to trust multiple third-party applications with sensitive information. In the ThreeFold model, applications are designed to serve the users rather than the other way round. -## Conclusion +
-In the digital marketing symphony, Landing Pages become the crescendo. They capture attention, evoke action, and drive results. As we move forward, an essential task is to optimize, maintain relevance, and create high-converting Landing Pages. These factors collectively hold the key to achieving digital success. + -Imagine a world where every online interaction gets personalized and directed. This showcases the potential of Landing Pages. For startups seeking traction or established brands introducing new products, Landing Pages can serve as the catalyst. They possess the power to spur digital growth and boost engagement. +
+ +### **Conclusion** + +Understanding the Internet’s three layers is key to grasping the current digital landscape and envisioning the transformative potential of ThreeFold's technology.

+ +- Cores: 64,290 +- RAM: 434.85 TB +- SSD: 8.46 PB +- HDD: 20 PB + + + +The farming community keeps the digital gears turning. Whether they purchase a 3Node from the marketplace or build their nodes, they're providing essential capacity to the ThreeFold Grid. In return for their contributions, they're rewarded with ThreeFold Tokens (TFTs), the currency of the ThreeFold ecosystem. + + + +Farmers are rewarded based on their uptime—the number of hours, minutes, and seconds their node has been online. This data is meticulously tracked by ThreeFold's blockchain, TFChain, and used to determine their monthly rewards. However, we're always evolving and we just passed a vote on the ThreeFold DAO where we decided that, in the future, farmers would be rewarded based on their utilization. + + + +ThreeFold Farmers not only provide capacity but also take the opportunity of ThreeFold being an open-source project to develop scripts and tools like a [Python script for minting](https://forum.threefold.io/t/farm-earnings-data-capture-made-easy/4251), a telegram for [liquidity pool USDC/TFT](https://t.me/threefold/42257/54497), and Telegram channels for their local community where English is not their primary language so that they can get help when they need it, and much more. + + + +The ThreeFold farming community is an integral part of our [decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)](https://manual.grid.tf/documentation/dashboard/tfchain/tf_dao.html). A farmer's participation in the DAO discussions and proposals is pivotal as we chart the course for the grid's evolution, from our current version 3.14 release and beyond. Together, we're actively building the grid's future, thanks to our dedicated farmers' collaborative efforts. Join us, share your ideas, and let's shape the future of the ThreeFold Grid together. + +### **The Future of the Farming Community** + +#### **The TF Cooperative** + +ThreeFold is transitioning the management of TF Grid to a cooperative, empowering all of us to work toward our common goals more effectively. This shift represents a step towards a more collaborative and inclusive future for the TFGrid. As we enter the commercialization phase of the project, a cooperative model also brings a trusted form of decentralized governance and will enable us to bring more reliability to the grid. + + + +The formation of the ThreeFold Cooperative (TF COOP) brings several planned changes for farmers and their interaction with the TFGrid: + +
+ +- **Democratic Governance**: TF COOP introduces a system where farmers can vote on decisions based on their TFT holdings (1 TFT = 1 vote), giving them a voice in the cooperative's direction. +- **Farming Rewards**: Farmers will continue to earn rewards based on the quality of their nodes and network uptime. This encourages high standards and benefits both farmers and users. +- **Compliance**: Farmers must follow KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) rules for transparency and accountability. +- **Service Level Agreements (SLAs)**: Larger farmers may sign formal contracts with DMCC or TF COOP, providing stability and predictability. +- **Capacity Resale and Utilization Rewards**: TF COOP will resell capacity and distribute profits. Farmers receive 50% of the revenue from their node utilization. +- **Node Information and Transparency**: Farmers can benefit from tracking more node data in the explorer, helping potential users select quality nodes. +- **Governance Involvement**: Farmers, as cooperative members, can impact management and operations, aligning their interests with the TFGrid's success. + +#### **Farming Pool** + +[Farming Pools](https://www.threefold.io/blog/farming-pools/) are a new feature planned for version 4.0 that helps improve trust and quality in our network. Farmers join these pools and agree to standards like uptime and response time. They can set their prices for services like storage and computing power. By staking tokens, farmers commit to these standards and risk losing some of their stakes if they don't meet their promises. This keeps the network reliable and fair while allowing farmers more control over their services. + + + +These pools can also act as hubs for supporting farmers with training and help them understand if their nodes are working well. Sales of preconfigured hardware is an additional optional function of the pools, while all pools operate as a business that takes a margin on the farming rewards of the farmers belonging to the pool. Beyond support, the added value for the farmers is that pools ensure a level of service and quality that can attract users and bring additional revenues to the farmers, including the potential of active marketing of the pool's capacity. + +### **Conclusion** + +The farming community plays a key role in the smooth operation and growth of the ThreeFold Grid. These farmers shape the grid's future by offering the capacity for a more decentralized digital world. Their work goes beyond earning rewards, as they contribute nodes to a global network and share resources and tools that strengthen the community, which will be showcased in our upcoming blogs. Thanks to their efforts, the grid is thriving and paving the way for a fairer, more connected world. + +#### Get involved: + +

+# Earth Wallet
+
+
+
+**Introduction:**
+[Earth Wallet](https://www.earthwallet.io) is a cutting-edge digital wallet solution designed to empower users with secure, decentralized control over their digital assets. With a focus on accessibility, security, and sustainability, Earth Wallet offers a seamless and user-friendly interface for managing various cryptocurrencies and digital tokens.
+
+**Partnership with ThreeFold:**
+Earth Wallet and ThreeFol's future strategic partnership would leverage the transformative potential of ThreeFold's TF Grid technology in enhancing the functionality, security, and sustainability of Earth Wallet's services.
+
+**Utilization of TF Grid:**
+
+- **Decentralized Hosting:** Earth Wallet wills utilize TF Grid's decentralized hosting infrastructure to ensure the highest levels of security and availability for its users' digital assets. By leveraging ThreeFold's grid of autonomous and decentralized nodes, Earth Wallet can offer a robust hosting environment that is resistant to traditional centralized points of failure.
+
+- **Scalability and Capacity:** Through the utilization of TF Grid, Earth Wallet will gain access to a scalable and distributed network infrastructure capable of handling varying levels of demand and workload. This ensures that Earth Wallet users experience uninterrupted access to their digital assets, even during periods of high traffic or increased activity.
+
+- **Sustainability:** By partnering with ThreeFold and utilizing TF Grid, Earth Wallet would demosnstrate a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. TF Grid's decentralized architecture reduces the energy consumption associated with traditional data centers, contributing to a more sustainable future for digital infrastructure.
+
+
+ +Our feasibility study showed that Tanzania is losing around 10 Billion USD per year from not having their own infrastructure and applications. The current centralized model needs to change. + +
+ +**Centralized model vs ThreeFold model** + +
+ +
+ +
+ +Tanzania shares this vision and together with ThreeFold has embarked on a mission to build their own sovereign Internet infrastructure where the people are in control and are the ones benefiting from their own digital lives. To achieve this mission, Tanzania’s ICT Commission has partnered with us to leverage ThreeFold technology to enable a Tanzanian-owned Internet infrastructure and allow local communities to build the digital solutions that they need and want on top of the grid. + +
+ +ThreeFold’s unique technology is ideal for this transformative project because of its affordability, efficiency, accessibility, reliability, security, sustainability and ability to be co-owned. By focusing on everyone owning and running things together, an autonomous digital future shaped by the community will become a reality. It will be a Tanzanian internet designed by and for the people. + +
+ +The project “Dunia Yetu”, meaning Our World in Swahili, was announced in January 2024 at a conference in Dar Es Salaam organized by ThreeFold and Tanzania’s ICT Commission. The next steps which the team is currently working on include helping local communities to deploy nodes across Dar es Salaam as well as opening a coworking hub. This hub will empower startups and entrepreneurs in Dar es Salaam to learn more about the ThreeFold grid and focus on knowledge sharing to help them build their own digital solutions on top of the grid. Learn more about Tanzania’s new internet [here](https://www.threefold.io/newsroom/duniayetulaunchdar/). + +
+ + + +
+ +**Empowering women and youth in Tanzania** + +At ThreeFold, we are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion within our ecosystem and beyond. We believe that diversity fuels creativity and innovation, bringing us closer to our goal of building a more sustainable and equitable digital future for all. + +
+ +Through Dunia Yetu, in partnership with [H.E.R DAO](https://www.her-dao.xyz/), a women-centered developer DAO with a focus on inclusivity, we aim to empower women and youth in Tanzania by providing access to education, opportunities, and resources in the tech sector.

+ +When a release candidate arrives from the development phase, our manual test executions come into play. Through meticulous examination, we confirm the smooth operation of each component. Any inconsistencies found during testing are promptly recorded using GitHub issues, facilitating quick resolution in future iterations. + +
+ +Components such as Dashboard & Deployments, Mycelium, TF-Robot, Terraform, TF-Grid-Client, TF-Grid-Proxy, TF chain, Caprover, Kubernetes, and Farmerbot are examples of what undergoes our scrutiny. + +### **Why Manual Testing is Important:** + +Any new changes added to the grid should first undergo manual testing before going through automation testing. The fundamental principle of testing is that “100% automation is not possible” which makes manual testing necessary. + +
+ +The main idea behind manual testing is to make sure that the grid is free of errors and that it is operating following the stated functional requirements in the manual and documentation. Additionally, it ensures that developers fix reported faults and that testers retest them. + +
+ +Also, manual testing simulates the real-time behavior of the end user and how they think when they use our TF Grid solution, which allows us to do better UX design to meet everyone's expectations. + +
+ + + +### **Automation Testing** + +[Automation scripts](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/collaboration/testing/testing_readme.html#automation-testing) are essential in strengthening our testing capabilities and our manual efforts. By utilizing [GitHub actions](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tfgrid-sdk-ts/actions), we run automated scripts daily to gain early insights into the health of the TF Grid. Our in-house automation tool, [TF-Robot](https://manual.grid.tf/documentation/developers/tfrobot/tfrobot.html?highlight=TFRo#), leads the deployment process on the grid with exceptional efficiency. + +
+ +TF-Robot is a cornerstone of automation, streamlining the deployment of various virtual machines across the ThreeFold Grid. With its capacity to manage large-scale deployments and offer multiple retries for unsuccessful attempts, TF-Robot enables users to navigate the grid seamlessly. Additionally, we leverage its functionalities to ensure the viability of registered nodes by deploying on active nodes regularly to confirm their suitability for deployment. + +
+ +We use GitHub Actions to run our automated tests. These tests – ranging from testing solution deployments, to the status / health of all nodes, to the dashboard UI – are triggered by certain behaviors or activities: + +
+ +- Any code change triggers certain tests +- Tests also run during code reviews +- Some tests run every day, like the Grid Client Nightly and Grid Client Tests +- Other tests run every 6 hours, like Mass Deployments + +### **Why Automation Testing is Important:** + +Automation testing speeds up the testing process significantly compared to manual testing. Automated tests can run anytime, including nights and weekends, allowing for continuous testing and faster development cycles. This reduces testing time and labor costs, making it a cost-effective approach in the long run. +Automation helps identify issues and defects in the software early in the development process, making them easier and less expensive to fix. Automated test scripts are reusable and can be used throughout different phases of development, even if there are changes in the software's user interface. + +
+ +Sometimes, a node may be misconfigured or have defective hardware. In our automation testing, we run tests like Mass Deployer or TF-Robot, which loop over all online nodes and attempt deployments on them to detect problematic nodes or misconfigured ones early. + +
+ +Additionally, nightly test runs for different test suites (dashboard UI, TS client) can detect incorrect code deployments early and alert developers to fix the pushed code that may affect unexpected parts of the project. + +### **How to Report an Error/Issue/Bug Found While Testing:** + +All errors found during testing are reported [on GitHub](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tfgrid-sdk-ts/issues). Based on findings, the repository has two templates to choose from: Bug Report and Feature Request. Follow these steps: + +
+ +1. Click on the provided GitHub link. +2. Choose "New Issue." +3. Select either of the templates and fill it out accordingly. +4. Click on "Submit." + +
+ +One of our developers will then work on resolving the issue. We have already fixed over 1,200 issues to date. + +
+ +Testing is a key aspect of maintaining a reliable cloud infrastructure. Because testing is such a thorough process, we can catch and correct bugs before they make their way to mainnet, our “production” environment.

Enter the world of Landing Pages, the unsung heroes of digital marketing. With the power of the AstroWind template, developed using Astro and Tailwind CSS, crafting these pages becomes even more intuitive. Let's dive deep into understanding, creating, and optimizing them. +Just as the Earth is made up of layers—from the crust to the core — so too is the Internet, with three key layers: compute & storage, network, and applications. Distinguishing these layers helps us to understand how digital information is currently processed, stored, and accessed across the globe and how ThreeFold technology can transform this model. ThreeFold can be likened to tectonic forces, reshaping the digital landscape by introducing improved ways for these layers to interact. Let’s break down these three layers, their current challenges, and ThreeFold’s approach to each of them. -## Landing Pages Unveiled +### **Compute & Storage** -A **Landing Page** is a standalone web page, distinct from your main website. Crafted with a singular objective: to convert visitors into actionable leads or sales. It's where a visitor "lands" post-clicking on a marketing link or ad. +**What it is:** -Imagine clicking on an ad for a limited-time discount on a popular shoe brand. This action guides you to a page that showcases the discounted shoes, featuring a clear "Buy Now" button. That's a Landing Page in action, focusing your attention solely on the offer. +
-## The Power of Precision +Compute is responsible for processing data. It runs programs and applications by leveraging computational resources like CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). It handles the calculations, logic, and running of software that users depend on. Compute resources are provided by servers located in centralized data centers and cloud platforms. -Unlike a homepage brimming with diverse content, a Landing Page is laser-focused. It eliminates potential distractions like excessive navigation, ensuring the visitor's attention remains undivided. The result? Higher conversion rates and a more streamlined user experience. +
- +Storage is about saving and retrieving data. It provides a persistent way to store data so that it can be accessed in the future. This encompasses various types of storage media, such as hard drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and distributed storage systems that span across multiple locations. Storage ensures that data is kept safe and available for when it's needed, either for immediate use by applications or for long-term retention. -Think of a Landing Page as a digital salesperson. Just as a salesperson would pitch a product without distractions, a Landing Page promotes an offer without unnecessary links or information. It's like walking into a store with a single product on display, making your choice straightforward. +
-## Why Landing Pages Matter +**The problem with the current model:** -In today's digital rush, hoping customers stumble upon you is a strategy of the past. Landing Pages are the future. They: +
-- **Guide Traffic**: Directing visitors seamlessly through the sales funnel. -- **Boost ROI**: Maximizing returns on marketing investments. -- **Personalize User Experience**: Tailoring content to specific audience segments. +A key problem with the current compute & storage layer lies in its centralized structure, which creates vulnerabilities, scalability challenges, and performance issues. Relying on centralized data centers and cloud platforms leads to single points of failure, which increases the risk of outages and cyberattacks, thus heightening concerns about service disruption and data security. Scaling this centralized infrastructure to meet increasing demand is costly and not straightforward, while latency issues hinder real-time data processing. -For instance, if you're launching a new fitness app. A well-crafted Landing Page can target individuals interested in health and wellness, offering them a free trial. This targeted approach ensures that those genuinely interested in fitness are the ones you're engaging with. +
-## Crafting the Perfect Landing Page +The concentration of the compute & storage within data centers primarily located in Europe, North America, or China raises significant concerns. This geographical bias in Internet infrastructure keeps data, jobs, and economic benefits centralized in certain regions, putting developing areas at a disadvantage and raising concerns around data sovereignty and autonomy. -Every element of your Landing Page should resonate with its core objective. Here's what a high-converting Landing Page entails: +
-- **Benefit-Centric Headline**: Your headline should instantly convey the value proposition. -- **Engaging Imagery**: Visuals that complement and enhance the content. -- **Compelling Copy**: Clear, concise, and persuasive text that speaks directly to the visitor's needs. -- **Clear Call-to-Action (CTA)**: A standout button or link urging the visitor to take action. -- **Minimalist Design**: A clutter-free layout that emphasizes the offer. For example, using a Tailwind CSS web template like AstroWind. -- **Trust Indicators**: Endorsements, reviews, and badges that bolster credibility. +For example, when two people in Zanzibar undertake a video call, their call data is sent to a data center in Europe via costly fiber optics, wasting resources and diminishing performance. This scenario represents a broader problem affecting various locations and use cases. This inefficient and inequitable system can be changed. -Imagine browsing online for a writing course. You land on a page with a captivating headline: "Unlock the Writer Within." Below, there's an engaging image of a person writing, followed by persuasive text and a bright "Enroll Now" button. This Landing Page has effectively used its elements to entice you to sign up. +
-## Homepage vs. Landing Page + -While both are pivotal, they serve distinct roles: +
-- **Homepage**: Offers a panoramic view of your brand, catering to diverse visitor intents. -- **Landing Page**: Zeros in on a single, specific action, be it signing up, purchasing, or downloading. +**The ThreeFold model:** -Consider a popular online store. Their homepage might display various product categories, from electronics to clothing. However, if they’re promoting a summer sale, the Landing Page would focus solely on summer products. This focused approach urges visitors to take action, encouraging them to "Shop the Summer Sale Now!" +
-## The Art of Optimization +ThreeFold decentralizes compute & storage by distributing it across a global network of independent nodes rather than concentrating it in large data centers. Autonomous technology allows us to remove most human involvement from the equation. This approach allows anyone, regardless of technical know-how, to contribute compute & storage to the network or utilize it for their own applications. In essence, the compute & storage layer becomes co-owned, allowing anyone to become a cloud provider. -The digital realm is ever-evolving. Regular tweaks based on analytics can ensure your Landing Page remains a conversion powerhouse. Embrace A/B testing to compare different versions and refine for optimal results. +
-Let's say you have a Landing Page for a new skincare product. Version A uses an image of the product, while Version B showcases a video review. A/B testing might reveal that Version B, with the video, has a 20% higher conversion rate. Such insights can be invaluable for future campaigns. +ThreeFold’s autonomous technology efficiently allocates compute resources, increasing performance and reliability while reducing energy consumption. The distributed storage system fragments data and stores it securely across multiple locations, ensuring that data is always recoverable. Data security is also enhanced as there is no central repository for attackers to target. In this decentralized model, individuals' data remains within their country's borders, safeguarding their information from being exploited as a commodity by external entities. Storing data closer to the end user reduces latency and improves access speeds. -## Landing Pages in Action +
-Landing Pages are versatile tools in your marketing toolkit. They play a role in various scenarios: promoting a product launch, capturing emails for a newsletter, or driving event registrations. They’re not just about capturing leads but nurturing and converting them. +Let's revisit the scenario of a video call between two individuals in Zanzibar. With ThreeFold technology, call data will be sent directly between local ThreeFold nodes. These nodes are deployed locally by people and organizations, avoiding centralized ownership by major tech corporations. Instead of relying on data centers thousands of miles away, our decentralized infrastructure significantly shortens the connection distance. The pair in Zanzibar can now communicate peer-to-peer, reducing bandwidth needs by up to 10 times while boosting security. -Presented below are several prevalent types of Landing Pages. Each link offers a prime example of its respective type. Additionally, we carefully craft each link in the form of a comprehensive guide. +
-This approach ensures that you observe the best practices in action. Also, it enables you to acquire a step-by-step understanding of how to skillfully create each type. + -### [Lead Generation Landing Page](landing/lead-generation) +
-**Purpose**: Designed primarily to capture user data, such as email addresses or contact details. +### **Network** -**Content**: Usually includes a form where users can input their details. It also highlights what they'll get in return, such as an eBook, a webinar, or a free trial. +**What it is:** -**Focus**: Enticing visitors to provide their personal details by offering something valuable in return. +
-**Key Differentiator**: Unlike “Click-through Landing Pages,” which guide users to another step, these directly gather user data. +The purpose of the network layer of the Internet is to send data packets from their source (point A) to their destination (point B) across multiple networks. Data packets are small pieces of information which include the data being sent and details like where it's coming from and where it's going. They can be thought of as small parcels of data that travel through the Internet. These parcels can take different paths to reach their destination and once they arrive they are put back together to form the original data. -**Example**: A digital marketing agency offering a free SEO audit in exchange for business contact details. +
-### [Long-form Sales Landing Page](landing/sales) +The network operates on protocols like IP (Internet Protocol), which assigns unique addresses to devices on the Internet to ensure data reaches the correct location. The network layer handles the path selection and directs data packets through various routers and networks to reach its destination. This layer enables communication between devices in different networks, ensuring efficient delivery across the vast expanse of the Internet. -**Purpose**: Primarily designed to sell, aiming to persuade and convert visitors into customers. +
-**Content**: Extensive, providing a wealth of information including product details, benefits, user stories, success stories, guarantees, and bonuses. +**The problem with the current model:** -**Focus**: Utilizes a narrative to present a problem and offer the product or service as the solution. The aim is to emotionally connect with the visitor. +
-**Key Differentiator**: While 'Click-through Landing Pages' warm up the visitor for a bigger commitment. 'Long-form Sales Landing Pages' aim to close the sale directly on the page. +The current model of the network layer relies heavily on traditional routing protocols and infrastructure, which often lead to inefficiencies and vulnerabilities. Centralized routing mechanisms may result in suboptimal path selection, leading to longer latency and decreased network performance. As highlighted in the picture below, the path that these data packets take in the current system can be very complex and ineffective. The reliance on a centralized architecture makes the network susceptible to single points of failure and cyberattacks. Traditional networks lack inherent privacy and security measures, leaving data vulnerable to interception and unauthorized access during transmission. The lack of scalability, reliability, and security of the current network model highlights the need for a new approach. -**Example**: A weight loss program detailing a person's journey and the challenges they've faced. It also highlights how the program assisted them and why it's an ideal solution for others. +
-### [Click-through Landing Page](landing/click-through) + -**Purpose**: Acts as a middle step, warming up visitors for a bigger commitment. +Credit: Lazario Gamio, 2015, [The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/security-of-the-internet/bgp/) -**Content**: Provides essential details and benefits of an offer, urging visitors to click through to another page. +
-**Focus**: To lead visitors to the final conversion point, be it a checkout page or a sign-up form. +**The ThreeFold model:** -**Key Differentiator**: Unlike "Subscription Landing Pages" that aim for a recurring commitment, these lead to a one-time action. +
-**Example**: An online store showcasing a new product's benefits, leading visitors to the purchase page. +ThreeFold is disrupting the network layer through its new Mycelium technology, a true peer-to-peer mesh network. It is the only overlay network in the world capable of taking locality into consideration, routing decisions based on proximity between individuals, and selecting the quickest route possible. This addresses the current system’s suboptimal path selection as visualized above. In this new model data packets take the quickest route from point A to point B. Mycelium also ensures end-to-end encryption for all traffic, enhancing data privacy and security. This new 'always-on' network offers continuous connectivity and seamless access to resources, even in the face of network disruptions or outages. -### [Product Details Landing Page](landing/product) +
-**Purpose**: Designed to inform by providing specific details about a product or service. + -**Content**: Focuses on features, specifications, and benefits. May include high-quality images, detailed descriptions, demo videos, and user reviews. +Credit: Haseeb Qureshi, 2019, [Nakamoto](https://nakamoto.com/p2p-networking/) -**Focus**: Presents the product or service transparently and attractively. +
-**Key Differentiator**: While 'Long-form Sales Landing Pages' aim to persuade through narratives and overcoming objections. 'Product Details Landing Pages' focus on presenting the product or service in a clear and detailed manner. +### **Applications** -**Example**: A tech website detailing a new laptop's specifications, unique features, comparisons with previous models, and user reviews. +**What it is:** -### [Coming Soon or Pre-Launch Landing Page](landing/pre-launch) +
-**Purpose**: Creates excitement for an upcoming product, service, or event. +At the top of the Internet stack are applications — the user-facing software that provides the services and experiences we interact with daily. Applications range from web browsers and social media to more complex systems like blockchain platforms and decentralized apps (dApps). They are the interface through which users interact with the digital world. -**Content**: Often includes a countdown timer, teaser content, and an option to sign up for notifications. +
-**Focus**: To generate buzz and capture early interest. +**The problem with the current model:** -**Key Differentiator**: Unlike other landing pages that present available offers, these promote something not yet accessible. +
-**Example**: A game developer teasing their upcoming game release with sneak peeks and an option for early access. +The problem with the current model is the lack of control over our digital identities. Currently, users are scattered across numerous platforms, each hosting their data separately. This means that individuals exist in multiple instances online, with their personal information spread across different servers and databases controlled by different applications (visualized in the picture below). This fragmentation not only leads to redundancy but also raises concerns about security, privacy, and control over personal data. Users are forced to trust multiple third-party applications with their sensitive information, often without transparency or control over how their data is used or shared. The centralized nature of these applications exposes users to risks such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and exploitation of personal information for targeted advertising or other purposes. In the existing system, users are at the mercy of application providers, who dictate the terms of service and privacy policies. This asymmetry in power dynamics leaves users with limited options to protect their privacy or exercise control over their data. -### [Subscription Landing Page](landing/subscription) +
-**Purpose**: Encourages visitors to subscribe to a service, newsletter, or recurring product. + -**Content**: Highlights the benefits of subscribing, often offering special deals or exclusive content for subscribers. +
-**Focus**: To secure a long-term commitment from the visitor. +**The ThreeFold model:** -**Key Differentiator**: Unlike "Click-through Landing Pages" that lead to a one-time action, these aim for a recurring commitment. +
-**Example**: A magazine promoting its monthly subscription, detailing exclusive articles and special subscriber-only benefits. +ThreeFold delivers a decentralized and user-centric approach to the application layer, empowering users and developers. By providing access to decentralized compute, storage, and networking resources, ThreeFold facilitates the development and deployment of decentralized applications (dApps) within its ecosystem. Unlike traditional centralized applications, which rely on proprietary infrastructure and are subject to the control of centralized entities, dApps built on ThreeFold operate within a decentralized environment increasing security and privacy. Users have greater autonomy and control over their digital identities and data. Instead of being scattered across numerous platforms with data hosted separately, users have one digital identity. This reduces fragmentation and eliminates the need to trust multiple third-party applications with sensitive information. In the ThreeFold model, applications are designed to serve the users rather than the other way round. -## Conclusion +
-In the digital marketing symphony, Landing Pages become the crescendo. They capture attention, evoke action, and drive results. As we move forward, an essential task is to optimize, maintain relevance, and create high-converting Landing Pages. These factors collectively hold the key to achieving digital success. + -Imagine a world where every online interaction gets personalized and directed. This showcases the potential of Landing Pages. For startups seeking traction or established brands introducing new products, Landing Pages can serve as the catalyst. They possess the power to spur digital growth and boost engagement. +
+ +### **Conclusion** + +Understanding the Internet’s three layers is key to grasping the current digital landscape and envisioning the transformative potential of ThreeFold's technology. Just as tectonic forces reshape our physical world, ThreeFold is disrupting the layers of the digital world. By decentralizing compute & storage, ThreeFold eliminates the vulnerabilities in centralized models, fostering efficiency and security. Through Mycelium, ThreeFold is rewriting the rules of connectivity, ensuring resilience and security. At the application layer, ThreeFold empowers users, shifting the paradigm to user empowerment. It's a new dawn for the Internet, one where connectivity is inclusive, efficient, and equitable, and ThreeFold is leading the charge. Let’s seize the opportunity to shape an Internet that thrives locally, serves globally, and empowers universally. + +

-+ +- Cores: 64,290 +- RAM: 434.85 TB +- SSD: 8.46 PB +- HDD: 20 PB + + + +The farming community keeps the digital gears turning. Whether they purchase a 3Node from the marketplace or build their nodes, they're providing essential capacity to the ThreeFold Grid. In return for their contributions, they're rewarded with ThreeFold Tokens (TFTs), the currency of the ThreeFold ecosystem. + + + +Farmers are rewarded based on their uptime—the number of hours, minutes, and seconds their node has been online. This data is meticulously tracked by ThreeFold's blockchain, TFChain, and used to determine their monthly rewards. However, we're always evolving and we just passed a vote on the ThreeFold DAO where we decided that, in the future, farmers would be rewarded based on their utilization. + + + +ThreeFold Farmers not only provide capacity but also take the opportunity of ThreeFold being an open-source project to develop scripts and tools like a [Python script for minting](https://forum.threefold.io/t/farm-earnings-data-capture-made-easy/4251), a telegram for [liquidity pool USDC/TFT](https://t.me/threefold/42257/54497), and Telegram channels for their local community where English is not their primary language so that they can get help when they need it, and much more. + + + +The ThreeFold farming community is an integral part of our [decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)](https://manual.grid.tf/documentation/dashboard/tfchain/tf_dao.html). A farmer's participation in the DAO discussions and proposals is pivotal as we chart the course for the grid's evolution, from our current version 3.14 release and beyond. Together, we're actively building the grid's future, thanks to our dedicated farmers' collaborative efforts. Join us, share your ideas, and let's shape the future of the ThreeFold Grid together. + +### **The Future of the Farming Community** + +#### **The TF Cooperative** + +ThreeFold is transitioning the management of TF Grid to a cooperative, empowering all of us to work toward our common goals more effectively. This shift represents a step towards a more collaborative and inclusive future for the TFGrid. As we enter the commercialization phase of the project, a cooperative model also brings a trusted form of decentralized governance and will enable us to bring more reliability to the grid. + + + +The formation of the ThreeFold Cooperative (TF COOP) brings several planned changes for farmers and their interaction with the TFGrid: + +
+ +- **Democratic Governance**: TF COOP introduces a system where farmers can vote on decisions based on their TFT holdings (1 TFT = 1 vote), giving them a voice in the cooperative's direction. +- **Farming Rewards**: Farmers will continue to earn rewards based on the quality of their nodes and network uptime. This encourages high standards and benefits both farmers and users. +- **Compliance**: Farmers must follow KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) rules for transparency and accountability. +- **Service Level Agreements (SLAs)**: Larger farmers may sign formal contracts with DMCC or TF COOP, providing stability and predictability. +- **Capacity Resale and Utilization Rewards**: TF COOP will resell capacity and distribute profits. Farmers receive 50% of the revenue from their node utilization. +- **Node Information and Transparency**: Farmers can benefit from tracking more node data in the explorer, helping potential users select quality nodes. +- **Governance Involvement**: Farmers, as cooperative members, can impact management and operations, aligning their interests with the TFGrid's success. + +#### **Farming Pool** + +[Farming Pools](https://www.threefold.io/blog/farming-pools/) are a new feature planned for version 4.0 that helps improve trust and quality in our network. Farmers join these pools and agree to standards like uptime and response time. They can set their prices for services like storage and computing power. By staking tokens, farmers commit to these standards and risk losing some of their stakes if they don't meet their promises. This keeps the network reliable and fair while allowing farmers more control over their services. + + + +These pools can also act as hubs for supporting farmers with training and help them understand if their nodes are working well. Sales of preconfigured hardware is an additional optional function of the pools, while all pools operate as a business that takes a margin on the farming rewards of the farmers belonging to the pool. Beyond support, the added value for the farmers is that pools ensure a level of service and quality that can attract users and bring additional revenues to the farmers, including the potential of active marketing of the pool's capacity. + +### **Conclusion** + +The farming community plays a key role in the smooth operation and growth of the ThreeFold Grid. These farmers shape the grid's future by offering the capacity for a more decentralized digital world. Their work goes beyond earning rewards, as they contribute nodes to a global network and share resources and tools that strengthen the community, which will be showcased in our upcoming blogs. Thanks to their efforts, the grid is thriving and paving the way for a fairer, more connected world. + +#### Get involved: + +

+# A Sovereign Internet, By and For Tanzania**
+The current centralized Internet model works for the few and is GDP negative for most countries. Most nations do not own their Internet, instead with fiber optic cables transferring and storing their data in data centers in the Global North. A relatively small set of big companies have access to and control over the data of billions of citizens, making us a product. The result is a loss of national money, data, sovereignty and influence.
+
+
++ +Our feasibility study showed that Tanzania is losing around 10 Billion USD per year from not having their own infrastructure and applications. The current centralized model needs to change. + +
+ +**Centralized model vs ThreeFold model** + +
+ +
+ 
+
+
+
++ +
+ 
+
+
+
++ +Tanzania shares this vision and together with ThreeFold has embarked on a mission to build their own sovereign Internet infrastructure where the people are in control and are the ones benefiting from their own digital lives. To achieve this mission, Tanzania’s ICT Commission has partnered with us to leverage ThreeFold technology to enable a Tanzanian-owned Internet infrastructure and allow local communities to build the digital solutions that they need and want on top of the grid. + +
+ +ThreeFold’s unique technology is ideal for this transformative project because of its affordability, efficiency, accessibility, reliability, security, sustainability and ability to be co-owned. By focusing on everyone owning and running things together, an autonomous digital future shaped by the community will become a reality. It will be a Tanzanian internet designed by and for the people. + +
+ +The project “Dunia Yetu”, meaning Our World in Swahili, was announced in January 2024 at a conference in Dar Es Salaam organized by ThreeFold and Tanzania’s ICT Commission. The next steps which the team is currently working on include helping local communities to deploy nodes across Dar es Salaam as well as opening a coworking hub. This hub will empower startups and entrepreneurs in Dar es Salaam to learn more about the ThreeFold grid and focus on knowledge sharing to help them build their own digital solutions on top of the grid.
