 ## About
 
-A website created using Zola, a static site generator.
+The official website of ThreeFold Foundation
 
-- The contents of the pages reside in the markdown files in /content (written in CommmonMark)
-- The pages are rendered using HTML templates with Tailwind CSS framework in /templates
+[www.threefold.io](https://www.threefold.io)
 
-## Getting Started
+## Contribution
 
-This repository is meant to use as a template for separate projects as well.
-
-To use this repository as a template, simply:
-
-- clone repository
-- add your own content to templates directory (see more below)
-- [install Zola](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/),
-- run `npm install` to install dependencies
-- run `npm run start`
-

-## how to publish to html
-
-```bash
-npm run prod:build
-```
-
-## How to create pages using this template
-
-### Structure of the content directory
-
-Every index.md file in a content directory corresponds to a page, and the landing page is content/\_index.md.
-The path of each page is simply its path relavant to the root of the content directory.
-
-Ex:
-content/\_index.md -> yoururl.com/
-content/blog/\_index.md -> yoururl.com/blog
-content/careers/index.md or content/careers.md -> yoururl.com/careers
-
-### Section Templates
-
-#### Blog.html
-
-The blog page is created by default if there is a blog folder in the content directory. The blog page consists of a featured post row, a paginated grid of posts sorted by recency, and a side nav of post categories and featured posts.
-
-Blog posts or News or people ,partners can have categories, and can be filtered by said categries. To add a new category simply define the posts category in the yaml header of the blog's index.md file. See /content/blog/2022/01/post-1/index.md for example. The side navigation and category based listing will be automatically updated.
-add all imeges related to your blog at folder in staticimages/blog (please keep size of image less than 400k) you can use this site for resise online [tinypng](https://tinypng.com/)
-
-To make a blog post featured, simply add an isFeatured attribute to the yaml header of the blog post. The most recent featured blog post wiil be displayed on the heading row of the blog page, and the rest will be displayed under featured posts in the side nav. See /content/blog/2019/03/post-5/index.md for implementation.
-
-#### Section.html
-
-The default section template, displays section body without styling (except for margins), and displays subpages of the section below. The subpages of the page are displayed as small summaries of pages with title, description, and tags, as rendered by partials/pageBox.html. The subpages are grouped by the taxonomy name passed in as the "group_pages_by" extra attribute, defined in the section's yaml header.
-
-### Creating custom pages
-
-To create your own page, simply create a markdwn file following the examples provided above.
-By default, the markdown file will be displayed plainly as it is.
-
-#### Page templates
-
-If you wish to display your markdown files in a specific page template, simply define the template you would like to use in the yaml header of your markdown file. For instance, the blogPage.html template displays blog posts with author info, date, side margins, and a hero image on top of the post. See any blog page in /content for implementation.
-
-### Shortcodes
-
-To give website creators freedom in styling without necessitating getting outside of the /content directory and in to the html files, the template has a few features.
-
-- #### row.html shortcode
-
-Markdown only goes vertical, but this shortcode allows one to add horizontal elements to their web pages. Simply use the {% row() %} {% end %} syntax and place your content in between. The row shortcode can also take a bgPath parameter if you want your row to have a background. (see /content/careers/index.html)
-
-You can create columns in your row by using three vertical bars. ( ||| )
-You can fill in your columns with regular markdown, but they can also be empty.
-
-- #### menu.html
-
-Just like row, menu renders a row with columns split by ( ||| ). However, menu is specifically used to create menu objects for expandible header items. The menu shortcode supports button shortcodes in itself, and provides styling for the menu.
-
-- #### button.html
-
-A simple button shortcode that takes a body and displays it inside a button that is animated on hover. The button also is entirely clickable, and navigates to the first of if any children link elements.
-
-- #### mermaid.html
-
-Simple mermaid shorcode that can be used to create mermaid diagrams in markdown. Also supported in row shortcode.
-
-[Mermaid]("https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/")
-
-- #### annotation.html
-
-Simple annotation shorcode that can be used to create annotation objects in markdown.
-
-(note: inline and inline end qualifiers do not work.)
-
-[Annotations]("https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/annotations/#usage")
-
-### Image sizing with source paths
-
-You can size your markdown images by adding #small, #medium or #large at the end of the images source url.
-See /content/\_index.md for implementation.
-
-### Header & Footer
-
-The header and footer are also created from markdown files in the content directory. In /content/header/\_index.md, each header item is bulleted. If a header item has a row beneath it, the row will be displayed as a sub-menu on click. Otherwise, if header item is a link, it will simply navigate to the linked page.
-
-The footer, likewise, is structured using the row shortcode. However the left section with page summary is built in. To edit the site destcription, one should edit the description (in the yaml header) of the footer md file. To edit the social links, simply add the social outlets name and your link into the socialLinks dictionary attribute on the yaml header of the footer/\_index.md. If a social icon exists for the social outlet, the link wiill be automatically rendered within the icon, displayed in the footer.

+## How would Decentralisation of the Internet help India?
+
+*Ashish Bansal has been a member of the ThreeFold support team since October 2021. He was born in India. Ashish believes that we all deserve a better internet which is free, decentralized and equal for all.*
+
+<br>
+
+The Internet has become one of the most important aspects of human life. Our everyday lives are impacted by social media and other online platforms on a very minute level. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and others have become the most convenient way to stay in touch with friends and family. WhiteHart, Udemy and others have made quality education accessible to all. Swiggy, Zomato and others have made our favourite cuisine accessible at home. Amazon, Flipkart and others have grown the shopping experience for Indians with a variety of choices. Netflix, Hotstar, Youtube and others have made entertainment on demand easy for us.
+
+<br>
+
+Over the past decade, we have all gotten addicted to the comforts that the internet has brought to us, and it wouldn't be wrong for us to say that we cannot imagine our lives without the internet.
+
+<br>
+
+While Indian internet usage ranks second in the world today behind China, with 43% of its total population online, this also means that there is still a lot of untapped potential in India.
+
+## Issues with current Internet
+
+Although the internet has helped us in making our lives comfortable, there are several issues with the current Internet services we use. Some of them are mentioned below:
+
+### Cyber security
+
+The cyber security infrastructure in India today is not well equipped to tackle increasing cyber-crimes. You may not have the resolution to your complaints filed with Cyber Cell Portals on time. Hence there is an increasing number of fraudsters and hackers in India.
+
+### Data ownership
+
+Personal details shared by you on the internet are used by big companies to influence your decision-making process strategically.
+
+### Higher cost to customers
+
+Since internet infrastructure is owned and controlled by a few big companies, there is an irregular price increase which makes the internet unaffordable to many parts of rural India.
+
+## Decentralised Internet is the solution
+
+Decentralisation of the internet refers to the arrangement of the internet or its components such that no single entity or organization has control or authority over the network. It  holds the potential to revolutionize the way every nation accesses and utilizes the world wide web. India, one of the biggest players in the digital world, can greatly benefit from Internet decentralization. It would open up many new opportunities for both the country and its citizens.
+
+<br>
+
+To start, decentralization of the internet would give India more control over its digital landscape. Instead of relying on a single, centralized entity to power its network, India could decentralize its internet and make the administration of the network much more efficient. With this additional control and efficiency, India could develop a more secure and reliable infrastructure, while also controlling the delivery of services. This could lead to faster, more reliable connection speeds, along with increased safety and security.
+
+<br>
+
+Additionally, decentralization of the internet would allow India to establish itself as a technological leader. By decentralizing the internet, India could shift its focus from the existing internet infrastructure to developing innovative technology and applications. This could include the development of decentralized artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and much more. Potential applications of these technologies could drastically improve the education, healthcare, and transportation sectors of India.
+
+<br>
+
+Finally, decentralization of the internet could help with digital media access and distribution. This could open up new opportunities for providing access to digital media in rural areas, allowing for more effective access to education and entertainment. Furthermore, it could also provide access to more reliable payment services, as well as better consumer protection policies.
+
+<br>
+
+In conclusion, decentralization of the internet holds the potential to greatly benefit India and its citizens. It would give India control over its internet infrastructure, opening the door for development of innovative technologies and applications. Additionally, it could provide more effective access to digital media, along with more reliable payment services and consumer protection policies. In order for India to take full advantage of the potential of decentralization of the internet, it must take decisive steps towards implementing the necessary reforms and investments to ensure its success.

+## How ThreeFold can contribute
+
+ThreeFold technology runs on the concept of a grid formed by farmers who are independent people, unlike big corporations, that connect their nodes anywhere network and electricity is present to create a global distributed internet infrastructure. This resolves the problem of monopoly and price of big internet companies.
+
+<br>
+
+The technology also ensures that you get data security which was how the internet was originally intended to be.

+
+2022 was a year marked by significant steps on technology, big strides towards decentralization, a commitment to our values (planet, people, and authenticity), time well-spent on the ground, and strong contributions from the community. Let’s take a look back at all that ThreeFold held space for this year.
+
+## The ThreeFold Grid
+
+The grid has grown significantly this year, with a whopping total of [2900+ online nodes as of this week](https://forum.threefold.io/t/grid-stats-new-nodes-utilization-overview/3291/33). The farming community is contributing capacity across 62 countries, made up of nearly 72,000 Cores and providing nearly 40PB of storage capacity.
+
+<br>
+
+- This year, we officially said goodbye to Grid v2, which was [discontinued](https://forum.threefold.io/t/discontinuation-grid-v2/3385), along with all platforms no longer needed on v3. Farewell old friend!
+- Thanks to our motivated team and [testing community](https://t.me/threefoldtesting), the grid evolved from version 3.0 to 3.7.1, and soon [3.8](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tf-product-updates-december-2022-tfgrid-v3-8-0-updates/3654). Each update included improvements to various ThreeFold Grid components including the [Playground](https://play.grid.tf/), Zero-OS, TF Wallet, TF Chain and more.
+
+## Farming
+
+Thanks to all of our farmers for upholding & expanding the Grid! It was beautiful to see the community growth and engagement on both [chat](https://t.me/threefoldfarmers) and [the forum](https://forum.threefold.io/c/farming/42).
+
+<br>
+
+- A [power saving feature](https://forum.threefold.io/t/power-saving-feature-in-development-for-farmers/3399) is in development for farmers, allowing idle nodes to power off and still farm tokens. Our developers worked very hard to make it manageable from the chain. While they got it to work recently, the solution was not the most ideal one, therefore, the team is rethinking this feature as a service that a farmer can choose to run for their farm rather than something that happens entirely on TF Chain. Stay updated & contribute to this [on GitHub](https://github.com/threefoldtech/home/issues/1371).
+- For those who are interested in farming, find your node(s) on the [global 3Node marketplace](https://marketplace.3node.global/), launched this year. (Or, [build your own](https://forum.threefold.io/c/farming/diy-farming/43)!)
+
+## Technology
+
+When it comes to ThreeFold technology, we saw major progress. Thanks to the team and testing community for your efforts here.
+
+<br>
+
+- The [ThreeFold Playground](https://play.grid.tf/) became a robust grid solution and gained new additions this year! Find more [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/an-introduction-and-explanation-of-the-threefold-playground/3454).
+- Full Virtual Machines, introduced in Q4, allow limitless possibilities and are [easier than ever to deploy on the Grid](https://forum.threefold.io/t/full-vms-now-live-on-mainnet-playground/3449) as from Grid 3.7.
+- The grid experience became much more simple. For instance, the [Dashboard](https://forum.threefold.io/t/the-threefold-dashboard-dive-in-the-new-internet/3635) has been improved & features such as the explorer have been integrated within.
+- We are very proud to have launched the [FreeFlow Twi](https://forum.threefold.io/t/lets-test-out-freeflow-twin-beta-formerly-uhuru/3299) (formerly Uhuru), a decentralized alternative to digital platforms, tools and browsers, offering a tangible UX. Anyone can try it out [here](https://demo.freeflow.life/).
+- The [ThreeFold Connect App](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tf-product-focus-tfconnect-app-tfgrid-v3-8-0/3409) gained new features and improvements as well to offer a better UX.
+- [Mastodon Powered by ThreeFold](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-product-focus-mastodon-servers-powered-by-threefold/3562) are servers that are deployed on the ThreeFold Grid via [ThreeFold’s Mastodon Deployer](https://getmastodon.threefold.io/). It’s a web application that will enable anyone to deploy and manage their Mastodon within a few clicks (See more below).
+
+## Decentralization
+
+Decentralization is at the core of ThreeFold and creates resilience while involving the community in the decision-making process, leading to wider ownership and greater engagement. In 2022, we took great steps towards true decentralization, and will continue to take this path next year!
+
+<br>
+
+- Several Grid Enhancement Proposals were made and voted on by the community around the grid and farming.
+- This year, we officially introduced the validator program, which will come to fruition in 2023.
+- As of [ThreeFold Grid v3.6.1](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-product-updates-july-2022-tfgrid-v3-6-1-highlights-more/3206), the DAO functionality has been live on TF Chain.
+- The first [TF Chain (L1) DAO proposal](https://forum.threefold.io/t/the-first-vote-of-the-threefold-tf-chain-l1-dao-gold-certified-farming/3323) – for the creation of the Gold Certified Farming Policy – was voted on and approved
+
+## TFT
+
+While the token price has been low this year, it presents a great opportunity for believers to [buy TFT](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__tft_ecosystem).
+
+<br>
+
+- This year, it became possible to buy TFT directly [with BTC](https://forum.threefold.io/t/get-tft-directly-with-btc/1825) (Bitcoin) as well as [with fiat currencies through the Mercuryo gateway](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tft-fiat-gateway-beta-testing-program/2746).
+- In 2023, we’ll be introducing TFT-fiat gateways into the Mastodon weblet (see below) and across the whole grid ecosystem to make it even easier to use grid services.
+
+<br>
+
+As believers in truly decentralized models, we have repeatedly questioned how to exist without centralized exchanges. In August, TFT was [delisted from the Liquid Exchange](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tft-will-be-delisted-on-liquid-what-now-and-what-next/3197), the result of their acquisition by FTX earlier this year. A blessing in disguise, after seeing the monumental [FTX crash](https://forum.threefold.io/t/on-the-ftx-crash-and-the-tft-model/3524) which affected Liquid (which could have resulted in a loss of funds, although the exchange Liquid “hopes to return customer funds in 2023”) and sent ripple effects across the entire industry.
+
+<br>
+
+Part of our aim next year will be to introduce concepts like the liquidity pool and P2P DeFi wallet to provide a resilient, sustainable, and native [financial system](https://forum.threefold.io/t/a-new-financial-system-is-needed-for-a-better-future/3547) for the Internet of Internets, which strengthens the foundation of the ecosystem by enhancing the stability and liquidity of the ThreeFold Token.
+
+## Partnerships
+
+We doubled down on commitment to follow our values, particularly when it comes to collaborations and partnerships.
+
+<br>
+
+- ThreeFold signed a Head of Terms in December 2022 to officialize a public-private-partnership with a country in East Africa in Q1 2023. This partnership will support the roll out of a decentralized Internet infrastructure to support fintech services, e-residency and more.
+- ThreeFold is on track to support international communities to launch their digital nations (AKA network states).
+- ThreeFold & OpenNebula [opened a collaboration](https://threefold.io/partners/opennebula/) to explore cooperation in open source & edge computing
+- Alongside 27 organizations such as Atos and Deutsche Telekom, ThreeFold is part of [Structura-X](https://www.gaia-x.eu/news/structura-x-lighthouse-project-european-cloud-infrastructure-launched-concrete-implementation) – a lighthouse project ensuring common European infrastructure services that meet [Gaia-X](https://www.gaia-x.eu/) requirements.

+
+## Wrapping up
+
+In a fast-moving and ever-changing world, it is our belief that ThreeFold is one of the few projects out there that can genuinely enable a better future. We are driven by our mission and vision, guided by our values, and upheld by our global community.
+
+<br>
+
+2023 will be about continuing to improve the technology and simplify the grid experience, bringing to life the Regional Internets and Digital Twin concepts, introducing partnerships we’ve been alluding to this year, and furthering the decentralization of ThreeFold by empowering the community to take action independently.
+
+<br>
+
+ThreeFold is all of ours, and as a decentralized movement, we all share the responsibility to drive this project forward in meaningful ways to the best of our own abilities.
+
+<br>
+
+ThreeFold is the future. Based on decentralization and open source paradigms, we are a strong movement that continues to grow resilience. We are hungry for a better tomorrow, and ready to continue the journey towards the actualization of our common vision.
+
+<br>
+
+Here’s to 2022!
+
+<br>
+
+Here we come, 2023!
+
+<br>
+
+Together We Build!

+It's the beginning of another year, so I thought it would be a good time to put things into perspective with where we are and where we're going.
+
+## ThreeFold Today
+
+Let’s be honest. There is no other project or technology out there like ThreeFold, no one nearly as far along as we are. Our co-founders have decades of experience (and success) in the Internet and Cloud space. They and the team developed a new Internet infrastructure from the ground up, including a [stateless operating system](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__zos) based on the Linux kernel, which is quite a significant accomplishment.
+
+<br>
+
+Today, we have the biggest network of decentralized storage, compute, and network on the planet. The technology is in its third generation, functional and ready for utilization, even commercially. The [ThreeFold Playground](https://play.grid.tf) provides a sandbox of limitless opportunities for open-source builders – developers can (and are) now build(ing) and monetize(ing) projects built on the grid.
+
+<br>
+
+Hopefully you’ve been following along lately with community calls and all of our updates to see the [major progress that was made in 2022](https://forum.threefold.io/t/end-of-year-2022-community-call-recording/3636). The technology took major strides, the grid nearly doubled, the community got way more active, and there are some partnerships in the works with huge reach where we can make big impact.
+
+<br>
+
+Of course the token price is low and this is less than ideal to say the least, especially for farmers who are running hardware and weary of costs – although a power savings feature is coming! But the token is built on strong fundamentals and our efforts are focused on creating a [balanced and sustainable token economy](https://forum.threefold.io/t/a-new-financial-system-is-needed-for-a-better-future/3547) for the long-term.
+
+## ThreeFold Tomorrow
+
+In the coming days we’ll be announcing a super exciting project (ThreeFold Grid Services) from the ThreeFold team with the following purpose:
+
+<br>
+
+_To prove that the current state of the ThreeFold Grid is enough on top of which to start an end-user facing commercial business. We will release a suite of grid services with fiat gateways and we will also create content that explains in steps how to use the technical building blocks to put it all together to create your own solution / service._
+
+<br>
+
+Within Q1 we also aim to expose one or several partnerships with the potential to impact millions of people in emerging / developing countries.
+
+<br>
+
+We have ThreeFold Ventures coming as well, different businesses or arms of ThreeFold including OurPhone that create a holistic ecosystem for a more fair and equal world.
+
+<br>
+
+Then there’s the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet-of-internets/) (Regional Internet) model which will come to life this year, and [Digital Twin](https://www.threefold.io/blog/digital-twin/). And more – this is not comprehensive – but you get the picture.
+
+## ThreeFold Beyond
+
+ThreeFold is the foundation for people around the world to live in true digital sovereignty, for people who today do not have affordable access to education, communication, and financial tools to gain access. ThreeFold can impact industries from Internet to banking to education to supply chain and more. The possibilities are really limitless, let your imagine run wild. ThreeFold can change the world.
+
+## Our Future Is up to All of Us
+
+I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again (and again) … A decentralized movement is all about decentralized action and participation. And participation comes in all shapes and sizes. Together, we all need to act and push this into the world. Everyone in this community is empowered to help the project succeed though their own initiatives. The team is of course happy to offer support through technical help and even token grants. ThreeFold will be a success if people continue to choose to believe it is important and dedicate their energy towards it.
+
+<br>
+
+ThreeFold can and needs to be a complete, end-to-end decentralized ecosystem empowering all its members to build and create. We have everything we need, and if we don’t, let’s solve it. Most importantly, we have each other. Let’s do this.
+
+<br>
+
+If you want to get involved, the [forum](https://forum.threefold.io), [two-way chat](https://t.me/threefold), [farmers chat](https://t.me/threefoldfarmers), and [library](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold) / [manual](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/) are great places to get started.

+
+<br/>
+
+📄 Thanks to Mik for summarizing and organizing a [Q&A from the Weekly Threefold Tech and January Community Calls](https://forum.threefold.io/t/q-a-from-the-weekly-threefold-tech-and-community-calls/3711), making it easier to find answers to any question addressed.
+
+<br/>
+
+🩺 Are you wondering about the self-healing & self-driving capabilities of the Grid? Scott clears out any common misconception in [this post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/self-healing-high-availability-and-the-grid-today/3705)!
+
+<br/>
+
+🦣 For those who were wondering about the mastodon server being down, [Drew gave us an update](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-happened-to-the-threefoldcloud-com-sites/3712&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1674123620068533&usg=AOvVaw1cWMfcGQJBu_tqJMGlN8ps)! While the server is down, it was not due to a failure of the grid, but rather because it was deployed as a test environment - and the good news is that it was a successful proof-of-concept!
+
+<br/>
+
+_Thanks to all of you creating and engaging with content from the forum! Reminder: This is our town hall - you can ask questions, find answers, make proposals, share your opinion and discuss any ThreeFold-related topic. We love seeing it active!_

+
+<br/>
+
+"2022 was a year marked by significant steps on technology, big strides towards decentralization, a commitment to our values (planet, people, and authenticity), time well-spent on the ground, and strong contributions from the community."

+“We host your nodes on reliable, decentralised architecture. We don't believe Web3 nodes should be hosted on Web2 architecture owned and controlled by a handful of trillion-dollar companies … Existing NaaS ("node-as-a-service") companies use the old AWS/Azure services for their nodes which undercuts a central plank of Web3, namely, decentralisation.”

+We’re thrilled to announce that the first TF Chain DAO proposal is now live and ready for voting, focused on the creation of the Gold Certified Farming Policy on TF Chain!
+
+<br/>
+
+While we’ve been using DAO votes on the forum (GEPs) to make decisions for some time, this will be the first time that an on-chain vote can directly initiate new functionality in TF Chain.
+
+<br/>
+
+This is a very exciting step towards true decentralization whereby Grid stakeholders are in direct control of the future of the network!
+
+<br/>
+
+Take a look at [the full update](https://forum.threefold.io/t/the-first-vote-of-the-threefold-tf-chain-l1-dao-gold-certified-farming/3323n) for all the details.
