## How It Works
|
||
|
||
At the base, nodes form the physical foundation. These are distributed computers that provide processing power, storage, and networking capabilities. Together, they create a global, community-powered infrastructure.
|
||
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
Until now, anyone could deploy nodes from their home or office and earn rewards simply for hosting and take part in a decentralized alternative to corporate-owned data centers. In return for their contributions, participants earn rewards. We call this process “farming.”
|
||
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
Starting this summer, farming is evolving. With the launch of the ThreeFold Marketplace, rewards will be based on actual usage. This shift unlocks new commercial potential and supports a more sustainable and dynamic decentralized network.
