#1

Hi TFarmers!

Here is a guide to move a TF Farm between TF Connect App and TF Portal:

  1. The first part is to go from TF App to TF Portal.

  2. The second part is to go from TF Portal to TF App.

1. Import Farm from the TF app to the TF Portal (polkadot.js)

If you want to move your farm from the Threefold Connect App to the portal.grif.tf (polkadot.js), follow these steps. Note that you cannot, for now, move your farm from the Portal to the Threefold Connect App.

First, you want to find the TF Chain Secret, this is, in short, a hex version of the private key. To find the secret, head over to the Farmer migration (via the TF Menu).

In the Farming migration section, click on the arrow (in green here) of the farm you want to export on the Threefold Portal.
