Hello ThreeFolders!
June brought major development across the ThreeFold ecosystem! 
We announced one of our most exciting project, the ThreeFold Marketplace, prepared for the upcoming DePIN Summit Africa, shared a demo walkthrough, and more. Let’s look at the highlights!
The ThreeFold Marketplace
In June, we announced the ThreeFold Marketplace, a major step forward in our mission to build a truly global, peer-to-peer Internet for everyone. The marketplace is an all-in-one platform that connects users and providers to discover, exchange, and manage compute resources, applications, and services within the ThreeFold ecosystem.
It simplifies how participants engage with ThreeFold by bringing everything into a single, accessible hub, including:
-
Compute resources
-
Certified hardware
-
Decentralized apps
-
Expert services
The use of TFP (ThreeFold Points) enables fair and flexible exchanges, and together with a unified dashboard, the marketplace opens up new opportunities for collaboration and commercial growth across the community.
Development on both the front-end and back-end is actively underway, and the alpha testing phase will be announced soon. We will continue to share updates and details in the coming weeks as we finalize the official launch plan.

GEP Minting Proposal for June
As many of you know, the grid experienced an unexpected outage from June 13 to June 17, due to a central domain infrastructure issue beyond the control of individual farmers. To ensure a fair outcome for everyone affected, a proposal has been submitted to exclude this period from the minting uptime calculation for all farmers.
Voting is now open and will run until July 7 at 6.05 PM CEST.
You can cast your vote via the dashboard.grid.tf under “TFChain - DAO” or in the TF Connect app.
We invite everyone to participate and share their feedback.
DePIN Summit is here
This month, our team worked closely with the EV3 and Share teams to prepare for DePIN Summit Africa 2025. The event has begun this week on July 2nd in Mombasa 
and continues on July 4th and 5th in Zanzibar 
.
Recap: The summit brings together experts and builders to explore the future of decentralized infrastructure, with a focus on practical solutions and the Global South. ThreeFold co-founders Kristof De Spiegeleer and Florian Fournier will be speaking to highlight our role in this growing movement.
We’ll be sharing more insights and takeaways from the event in July.
Looking ahead
Stay tuned in July for several updates! You can expect more details on the Marketplace, on-the-ground insights from the summit, news about the 3.18 release, and 2 demos this month. Keep an eye on our news channel for the latest developments.
