ThreeFold Farming is a unique concept in the ThreeFold ecosystem where individuals (farmers) can:
Anyone can become a ThreeFold Farmer by running nodes that contribute capacity to the grid.
The ThreeFold Nodes are self-healing and autonomous. They provide data, network and cloud resources to the ThreeFold Platform, becoming active contributors to a decentralized digital infrastructure. Each node still delivers a powerful combination of modern technology and thoughtfully crafted design.
A new bare metal operating system Zero-OS supports all required Web2 and Web3 workloads and allows millions of nodes to operate in full autonomous mode providing lower cost, better energy efficiency, more reliability and security.
A Quantum Safe Storage System The Quantum Safe Storage System is capable of storing data indestructible, efficient, and ultra-scalable. Previous versions of this system are widely used to store Zetabytes of information by large organizations.
A Quantum Safe Network System Mycelium can look for the shortest path, has a built-in naming & CDN (Content Delivery) system, can survive disaster and network cuts much more efficiently as is possible today.
ThreeFold makes it easy to become part of the network by setting up your own node. With compatible hardware, a stable internet connection, and a few simple steps, you can get started quickly and start contributing to the network and earning utilization rewards.
Simply download the ThreeFold Connect App, create an account and then create a farm.
Download the Zero-OS bootstrap image and flash it to a USB drive using a tool like balenaEtcher.
Plug in the USB, power on your device, and follow the setup instructions.
Once it’s running, register your node and assign it to your farm via the ThreeFold Connect App.
After it’s connected, list your node on the Marketplace and start sharing your capacity.
Start providing capacity to others and join our Farmers community
With the upcoming ThreeFold Marketplace (expected late Summer 2025), farming is evolving. It’s now easier than ever to share resources and earn based on real usage through a transparent, peer-to-peer platform.
This evolution introduces clearer commercial opportunities and a more accessible path for farmers to support and benefit from the growth of the decentralized internet.
There are many ways to join our journey and help build a new internet infrastructure. Farming is just one core part of our ecosystem, here are all the products driving us toward a more open, autonomous, and interconnected digital future.
