+
+
+## **The Internet as <br><span class="blue">Hope for Humanity</span>**
+
+
+ThreeFold was started by a group of passionate Internet & Cloud veterans who wants to restore the Internet to its original glory.
+<br><br>
+*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.*
+<br><br>
+
+**We have invented a new data, cloud, and network system as an engine for an upgraded Internet.**

+#### OUR JOURNEY BEGAN<br><span class="green_text uppercase">+10 YEARS AGO</span>
+
+
+<br>
+
+
+Years ago, we realized that the existing Internet Infrastructure isn’t sustainable nor secure, lack sovereignty and will not succeed to meet future Internet demands.
+
+
+<br>
+
+
+In response, we came together with a shared mission- to design a revolutionary decentralized, open-source, inclusive and sustainable cloud solution for all.

+
+
+#### WHERE WE ARE<br><span class="blue uppercase">TODAY</span>
+
+
+<br>
+
+
+The ThreeFold Grid is in its third generation technology and live in +50 countries. 
+
+<br>
+
+
+We are at the start of a journey to millions of nodes and will soon launch the fourth generation of the ThreeFold Grid.
+For this, a token called $INCA will been created.
