The Internet Needs an Upgrade
The Internet brings the world together, yet much of it is now concentrated in the hands of a few powerful corporations. This wasn't its original intent. The Internet was envisioned as a decentralized, open space. A tool for freedom, collaboration, and equal access for all.
ThreeFold has invented a new Data, Network, and Cloud system as an engine for the new Internet.
{{ description_blockquote( title="The Reason Behind It All",
description_1="The Internet started as a peer-to-peer network, but over time it has become fragile and overly centralized. This shift has led to serious issues: data centers are extremely expensive to build and maintain, privacy and security are compromised, misinformation is rampant, and half the world remains poorly connected.",
description_2="Big tech companies now dominate the Internet, tracking our activities and influencing our decisions, consolidating control in ways that don't serve everyone equally.",
description_3="For +30 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to this vision, and ThreeFold is the culmination of that journey. Today, we have a fully operational product (V3) and a thriving community of farmers, users, and partners.",
description_4="Therefore we believe the Internet needs a fresh start—one that addresses these challenges with a focus on authenticity, equality, and sustainability for everyone."

AI needs to be decentralized
We are at the dawn of AI, a transformative force that will redefine how we live, work, and interact with technology. AI presents an incredible opportunity for humanity, however, as AI systems become more powerful, their control sits in the hands of a few corporations, raising serious concerns around privacy, bias, accessibility, and so on.
Further, centralized cloud providers are bottlenecks, as AI compute demand is outpacing supply and training AI models is too expensive.
We must not repeat mistakes of the past. Without decentralization, AI will remain controlled by a few corporations—limiting accessibility, innovation, and independence. To ensure AI benefits everyone, we must advocate for decentralized, open-source AI models that are transparent, ethical, and community-driven. And this can only happen on an infrastructure like ThreeFold.
The Vision for a New Internet
Unlike traditional internet infrastructure, which relies on centralized data centers and corporate control, ThreeFold is built on a global mesh of independent cloud providers—individuals and organizations who contribute data, cloud and network power directly to the ecosystem.
This makes ThreeFold uniquely decentralized at the physical layer, eliminating single points of failure and gatekeepers. It’s a truly neutral and scalable foundation that puts privacy, resilience, and digital sovereignty at the core of the internet.
ThreeFold’s Journey
Over the past decades, we’ve tackled complex challenges in areas such as data storage, secure overlay networking, and autonomous cloud security. With significant experience in Internet and Cloud and a strong vision for the future, these pivotal milestones have shaped our growth and drive us towards a better digital future.
