Hope for Humanity** + + +ThreeFold was started by a group of passionate Internet & Cloud veterans who wants to restore the Internet to its original glory. +

+*The Internet is a network of computers which are typically hosted in large data centers. These data centers are owned by a few large corporations. This is not how the Internet was designed. The Internet was designed to be decentralized, open, and available to everyone.* +

+ +**We have invented a new data, cloud, and network system as an engine for an upgraded Internet.** + + +
