As we advance toward our mission of delivering a truly-global Internet built for everyone by everyone everywhere, we continue to evolve and refine the ThreeFold experience – making it more simple, more accessible, more cohesive, and more empowering for all who join our journey.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce the ThreeFold Marketplace.
🔗What is the ThreeFold Marketplace?
The ThreeFold Marketplace is an all-in-one platform that connects providers and users peer-to-peer, enabling the discovery, exchange, and management of compute resources, applications, and services within the ThreeFold ecosystem. It enables commercial opportunities for participants, allowing them to monetize offerings and engage in business within the ecosystem.
The marketplace offers various categories including:
Overview: Explore the decentralized ecosystem of resources, applications, and services
Statistics: Analytics and utilization statistics for the ThreeFold Marketplace
Compute Resources (Slices): Find and acquire the compute resources you need for your workloads
Physical 3Nodes: Discover and purchase certified hardware nodes that power ThreeFold infrastructure
Mycelium Gateways: Connect to the Internet securely through the Mycelium Network
Self-Healing Solutions: Discover ready-to-deploy apps that provide autonomy and convenience
Human Energy Services: Access to community-driven expert services to help you succeed with ThreeFold technology and infrastructure
The ThreeFold Dashboard will live alongside the marketplace, serving as a central hub for any participant – user, farmer, app provider or service provider – to manage their ThreeFold experience.
We invite you to experience the marketplace firsthand in this walkthrough by our co-founder Kristof:
🔗Why it Matters
The marketplace brings our vision closer to reality. A world where Internet infrastructure and digital services are accessible, fair, secure, and community-powered.
By consolidating all ecosystem offerings and the dashboard into a single, easy-to-use platform, the marketplace simplifies how participants engage with ThreeFold. It lowers the barriers for anyone to understand and contribute to the network, making the value and possibilities of decentralized infrastructure more tangible and accessible – and bringing commercial opportunities for all.
The marketplace operates using TFP (ThreeFold Points), a mutual credit system designed to facilitate fair and flexible exchanges within the ecosystem. TFP enables flexible, equitable exchange across the platform – allowing users to earn, spend, and grow within the ecosystem.
🔗What’s Next
The team continues to work on both the backend and frontend for the marketplace and the aim is to launch it this summer.
The marketplace is here to help bring the ThreeFold ecosystem to life, and we want to build it together with you. We will share more in the coming days and weeks, and your ongoing feedback is essential as we move forward. Feel free to share your thoughts, ideas, and questions. We will host a marketplace-focused call and Q&A session soon to answer your questions and to dive deeper into what’s coming. More follow-up sessions will follow, so stay engaged.
