# Flow3 Gateway The **Flow3 Gateway** is a **smart hardware device** that enables users to **contribute bandwidth and computational power** to the **Flow3 Network**. With **plug-and-play simplicity**, the gateway supports **seamless Internet access**, while optimizing **bandwidth usage** and **computational efficiency**. Unlike traditional **gateways** that simply provide **Internet access**, the **Flow3 Gateway** actively **participates in the network**, allowing users to: * **Monetize excess bandwidth and CPU power**, turning **unused resources** into **revenue streams**. * **Collect and process data** that is **used for AI training**, contributing to the **Flow3 data economy**. * **Support AI data labeling and curation**, providing **valuable insights** to **B2B clients**. The **Flow3 Gateway** also serves as a **data collection point**, capturing **real-world data** that feeds into the **Flow3 Chain**, enriching the **AI-driven data marketplace**. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
