Nodes
Contributing to decentralized Internet pays off in multiple ways. And fast
With a node you deliver capacity to the decentralized Internet and receive rewards in tokens. In this way you help build a freer Internet and earn your investment back quickly. Moreover, it offers many other advantages. For you personally and for the common good.
Guaranteed returns for capacity. And extra for use
Earn guaranteed INCA tokens from your node for 18 months. In addition, receive revenue for usage. This can amount to hundreds of INCAs or tens of euros per month.
Also use it yourself for
data storage, hosting and more
Also use your node itself for data storage, a NextCloud environment, WordPress hosting and more, among other things. Pay for these services with the INCAs your node provides.
Simple and quick installation, no technical knowledge required
Installing your node is easy and done in a few minutes. You don't need any technical knowledge. We guide you step by step from start to use.
Build along for yourself and the common good
The Internet as we know it today brings benefits, but it also has major problems that affect both you personally and society. By helping to build a decentralized Internet with your own node, you contribute to solutions that directly benefit both you and others.
For yourself
- Complete control over your data: Your data is yours. No unwanted data collection or sharing with third parties.
- Privacy assured: You have insight and control over what data is stored and how it is used.
- Financial benefits: Earn tokens by providing capacity to the network and use them for storage or exchange to currency.
- Sustainable contribution: Reduce your digital footprint by using energy-efficient technology.
For the common good
- An independent Internet: Build a network where everyone owns their own data, without dependence on large tech companies.
- Protecting Freedom: Prevent censorship and ensure that information remains accessible to all.
- Sustainable technology: Save energy and reduce the impact of huge, inefficient data centers.
- Safer digital world: Decentralized infrastructure reduces the risk of large-scale data breaches and cyber attacks.
Which node(s) do you choose?
NOVA Go
The perfect entry-level model for adding capacity to the network, ideal if you have little to no use for the node yourself.
NOVA Plus
Suitable for those who want to make more intensive use of a node while adding more capacity to the network.
NOVA Pro
Create maximum capacity for both yourself and the network, ideal for those who want to take full advantage of a powerful node.
Zero-OS is a lightweight and self-healing operating system that runs directly on the node's hardware. This allows the system to repair itself in case of problems. This ensures stable and reliable operation without human intervention.
ThreeFold nodes are extremely energy efficient due to their lightweight operating system, smart hardware choices and efficient peer-to-peer data exchange. The decentralized design eliminates the need for large energy-hungry data centers.
Zero-OS is a lightweight and self-healing operating system that runs directly on the node's hardware. This means that the system can repair itself in case of problems, ensuring stable and reliable operation without human intervention.
This is a file system designed to withstand future threats from quantum computers. It ensures that your data remains secure even with the emergence of new technologies.
ThreeFold nodes communicate directly with each other via the so-called Mycellium network for data storage, work sharing, security and system updates. No central servers are required. This makes the network secure, stable, scalable, energy-efficient and robust.
A ThreeFold-certified 3Node from Hostservice meets strict hardware and security requirements, including a secure Zero-OS operating system. This ensures reliability and contributes to a secure decentralized Internet. With a certified node, you get support, warranty and easy management. You contribute to a powerful network and enjoy a stable and worry-free experience with access to secure, decentralized services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Read the answers to the most frequently asked questions here.
What is a NOVA Node and what can you do with it?
A NOVA Node is a device that connects you to the decentralized ThreeFold Grid. It provides computing, storage and network capacity to the grid. This allows you to contribute to a sustainable Internet, store your own data securely, protect privacy, generate revenue and use services such as NextCloud.
What is an INCA, what is it worth and how do I earn income with it?
INCA stands for Internet Capacity and represents the amount of capacity your node provides to the ThreeFold Grid. By offering this capacity, you earn rewards in the form of INCA tokens. Similar to the existing TFT tokens from ThreeFold, INCA tokens can be used to make purchases on the ThreeFold Grid, such as storage, compute power, or network capacity.
The value of the INCA token at launch will be announced later and may fluctuate after launch.
How can revenues be guaranteed?
The revenue you receive for creating additional capacity on the grid is guaranteed for a period of 18 months for anyone who buys a NOVA Node now. This guarantee is based on the constant and increasing demand for capacity and computing power within the ThreeFold Grid. What happens after this period is still unknown. In addition, ThreeFold reserves the right to stop offering the guarantee to new buyers at another time. For anyone who has already purchased a NOVA Node, the warranty will of course remain in effect.
What is a farming pool and what happens if my node is offline?
When you purchase a NOVA Node, it automatically becomes part of HostService’s farming pool. A farming pool is a partnership in which multiple node owners combine their capacity. This collaboration is essential to the ThreeFold Grid because it guarantees uptime and ensures that other nodes take over if one node is temporarily down.
For you as an owner, it is important to keep your node online as much as possible. When your node is offline, it directly affects the rewards you receive, both for providing capacity (INCA tokens) and for the network’s use of that capacity (TFT tokens). Prolonged outages can also affect the performance of the farming pool. HostService supports you to keep your node optimally online.
Is it difficult to install and manage a node?
No, installing a NOVA Node is easy thanks to clear manuals and HostService’s support. You don’t need any technical knowledge to get started. After installation, you have nothing to worry about. You just need to make sure the node is online.
