Unfolding ThreeFold: March 2026 Monthly Roundup

march_2026_roundup

Hello TF community,

Here is a clear picture of where things stand as we close out March, and where the team is headed. This month was centered on one major milestone: the launch of the Migration Hub and the March 31 deadline for retroactive SPORE rewards. We want to make sure every farmer has the full picture.

The Migration Hub Is Live

The Migration Hub is your official starting point for registering your nodes on Project Mycelium. It also includes a full explanation of the new economic model, hardware requirements, an ROI calculator, and a detailed FAQ.

Migrating today is a registration step, not a hardware change. What you are doing is registering on the Mycelium Ledger so you are in the system and eligible for rewards. The hardware switchover to Mycelium OS will come later, with advance notice.

Deadline Extended to April 10

Following feedback from community members who experienced issues during registration, we have extended the migration deadline to April 10, 2026.

Farmers who complete migration by April 10 will earn retroactive SPORE rewards from January 1, 2026. You must also keep your nodes online until the marketplace is fully operational to receive the rewards you have accrued.

If you have not registered yet, now is a good time. Registering after April 10 still gets you into the system and earning going forward, but you will no longer be eligible for the retroactive period.

What You Earn

Once migrated, your nodes begin accruing baseline SPORE rewards, a guaranteed income floor provided by the protocol while the marketplace is not yet live. When the marketplace launches, earnings will shift to a utilization-based model, with the revenue split being 80% to the farmer, 10% permanently burned, and 10% to the protocol fund.

A quick reminder on the economics:

  • 1 TFT = 10 SPORE
  • 1 SPORE = $0.01 USD at Phase 1 fixed pricing
  • TFT to SPORE preferential rate is available until June 30, 2026
  • SPORE selling via Dutch auction activates July 1, 2026

Community Questions & Team Responses

We know this transition raises a lot of questions, and we want everyone to feel comfortable asking them. The more clarity we can bring during this period, the better. This month, farmers and service providers raised detailed points about the slice model, workload continuity, Wireguard compatibility, INCA node commitments, and the transition from ThreeFold Grid to Project Mycelium. Here are the key answers.

On existing deployments: when you register your node on Project Mycelium, active v3 deployments remain online but will no longer be billed. New v3 deployments will not be possible on that node, and existing ones may be evicted with advance notice. You cannot earn both TFT and SPORE on the same node simultaneously.

We understand that for some farmers this isn’t an easy situation, particularly those who have active deployments running on their nodes and rely on that continuity. The team is aware of this and is working to make the transition window as short as possible. Getting deployments operational on Mycelium OS is a top priority, and we expect this gap to close in the coming weeks.

On Wireguard: even as Mycelium networking becomes the default, you can SSH into a node via Mycelium and install Wireguard via scripts. The team confirmed this should be straightforward for existing setups.

On INCA nodes: the team reaffirmed that commitments to INCA node holders will be honored, now denominated in SPORE. Those early supporters helped make what is being built today possible and the team is grateful.

On workload migration: the team successfully tested moving a full cluster from one location to another and is actively developing tools to help with the workload transition to Project Mycelium.

The conversation around the slice model, sales strategy, and how to make the grid genuinely attractive to larger commercial operators is ongoing.

If you have more questions or thoughts, feel free to ask them below this post, on the forum, or in our Telegram group, the team is here to answer.

What’s coming next

  • In April, the team expects to have node deployments on Mycelium OS operational, with the marketplace, Hero Compute and Hero Ledger all coming together (we will keep you posted every step of the way)
  • Hero remains a key focus for the team as we push toward getting it into your hands
  • Workload migration tooling is being finalized
  • An exciting partnership announcement is coming in April
  • Community call will be announced on Telegram

Thank you for the questions, the pushback, and the continued commitment. We will keep building.

I’m not farming anymore but was going to be a validator many moons ago.
What do I do with the TFT’s that I farmed and bought to become a validator?

  • TFT to SPORE preferential rate is available until June 30, 2026

How do I convert and is there any reason to do so if you don’t farm?

Hi there! Hope you are doing well.
How can I convert TFT to SPORE and where?

As far as I can see we have to Register on Mycelium Ledger. See more details here https://migrate.projectmycelium.com/learn/faq

Blockquote New v3 deployments will not be possible on that node, and existing ones may be evicted with advance notice.

So, if the deadline for migrating your nodes is April 10th, but there is no version 4 (MOS) ready yet and nodes cannot be deployed on, service providers then are stuck you mean? They can’t migrate and when they do, they can’t service (by deleting and adding contracts) anymore and also cannot deploy new installations. What are we supposed to do?

Blockquote Getting deployments operational on Mycelium OS is a top priority, and we expect this gap to close in the coming weeks.

Who’s going to pick up that time and bill for all the work? We can’t go back to our customers who just paid for another years’ subscription and make them pay more…
And, despite excellent service from the team over time, we ended up having to wait hours if not days for help or fixes because of vital functions relying on just one persons knowledge. Will the team be available 24/7 the first couple of days after a transition?

At all feels like we’re running into a lot of risk and will need (again) days if not weeks of time and lose valuable customers that stop trusting the (instability) of the grid, while we’re being asked to pick up that bill again because ‘hey, we do our best and it’s open source’…

Blockquote On Wireguard: even as Mycelium networking becomes the default, you can SSH into a node via Mycelium and install Wireguard via scripts. The team confirmed this should be straightforward for existing setups.

I strongly doubt this. Our terraform scripts install deployments on multiple nodes using one wireguard tunnel. If one of those vm’s inside a single script goes dead and has to be reinitiated, I do not think you can go into a new VM and somehow install the same wireguard tunnel. Can anyone confirm?

Blockquote On workload migration: the team successfully tested moving a full cluster from one location to another and is actively developing tools to help with the workload transition to Project Mycelium.

We could really use support on this. Currenty our nodes are probably 60-70% in use, I can’t see how we can both migrate to mycelium and migrate to MOS on the same node or so? I hope someone can explain it that time.

Blockquote The conversation around the slice model, sales strategy, and how to make the grid genuinely attractive to larger commercial operators is ongoing.

In general I’d like to repsond saying that we should not try and destroy or harm currenty earning models by the community such as we do. We earn by using tokens to deploy tailor mode installations on multiple nodes. No creditcard, no marketplace, no slices. Somehow I’d like to continue this type of service. The slice model seems to turn out into some realy weird specifications, unsellable of you ask me.
