-# A better understanding of wealth
-
-
-
-Wealth is more than the accumulation of money and resources. It can be generated in ways other than through conventional financial means. The financial justice warrior, Bernard Liataer, highlighted that to capture the wealth of our societies, our culture and our environments, we have to pay heed to the notion of wealth as well-being.
-
-
-
-But how do we obtain that well-being? We all know the answer to this question – we have a sense of well-being when all of our needs are met. It is not just the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter but also the need to be a creative participant in our community, have a voice in our own destiny, and pursue our own spiritual development unhindered by social sanction. Developing real wealth implies making choices that enable all members of the community to attain well-being. Achieving sustainable wealth implies meeting the present's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
-
-
-
-Digital Twin has been created while taking into consideration the different types of community capital that need to be achieved to create real wealth:
-
-
-
-1. Natural Capital - It includes the community environment that produces more assets. Our today's economies failed to measure, understand and account for the true value of nature's riches - clean air and water, soil and pollination for food, the social, intrinsic and spiritual values of natural beauty. Digital Twin will be the tool for us to place a proper value on Natural capital finally.
-
-
-
-2. Technological Capital – It includes how we harness our intellectual resources to create tools, systems, machines, arts, skills, and materials designed to improve our lives. This is what Digital Twin is all about - providing the required technology to enhance our lives and those of our communities' members through collective efforts and intelligence. Digital Twin is only the foundation for this future global well-being. People will support education and creativity throughout the world and give access to material information required to create additional innovative technologies.
-
-
-
-3. Social Capital – It recognizes the economic importance of all the ways we are connected: the relationships, our networks and values we share and the cooperative systems, and all its different components we use for interacting. Nowadays, our social capital is threatened through the repetitive act of violence, betrayal of trust, exclusion or less sharing and caring towards our fellow humans. Digital Twin has been created to encourage the easy sharing and exchange of resources and cooperate with each other on a platform.
-
-
-
-4. Historical and Cultural Capital – Through history, we have learned, and now we are transmitting our cultural understanding and recommendation about the economic and financial system to others through an open-source, public and transparent peer-to-peer exchange protocol.
-
-
-
-5. Human Capital – It includes all capabilities that people have to learn, invent, create, work, care for each other, and contribute to the community. This is the reason why Digital Twin has been created - A project to benefit us all.
-
-
-6. Financial Capital – It is the creation of real wealth through the availability of liquidity resources through a multi-currency system and Savings & Investments made by individuals and institutions. By strengthening and increasing this type of capital, our peer-to-peer platform believes that it is the obvious path to a successful economic development.
-
-
-
-All of these forms of capital produce the critical flows of assets through the economic system. Capital is the foundation, the reproductive system, the greenhouse that grows a healthy economy. This has been one of the fundamental beliefs of Digital Twin - For the well-being of worldwide communities.

-
-Sometimes we're compared to blockchain projects. We love blockchains and have many partners there – CasperLabs, DigiByte, Polygon, and Dash, to name a few – but that's just not what we are. Here's a few ways we are different than the "typical" blockchain project.
-
-## ThreeFold is actually much more than a blockchain
-
-ThreeFold is not actually even a blockchain project, rather it uses blockchain technology by combining it with other cutting-edge solutions. It's way more that just a blockchain alternative to a public cloud. ThreeFold started everything from scratch – built a super-lightweight and shell-less operating system, and a fully autonomous (self-driving and self-healing) architecture to enable a true peer-to-peer infrastructure. With zero intermediaries on the ThreeFold Grid, that leads to high efficiency and minimum complexity.
-
-
-The blockchain database (BCDB) acts as a registry for the workloads on the Threefold Grid. Workloads can only be accessed and managed with the private key of the data owner. The BCDB can prove to any party that their workloads are executed exactly as intended and that their data is untouched.
-
-
-In most distributed systems, data is stored multiple times to guarantee redundancy. This leads to a lot of unnecessary overhead and is also not the most secure mechanism. ThreeFold uses a dispersed storage algorithm to store the workloads on the ThreeFold Grid. The dispersed storage algorithm breaks data into shards and stores them on different nodes. This enables two things – first, performance efficiency (no need for consensus to run compute and storage) and second, energy efficiency (as there’s no more need for data duplication).
-
-
-
-*As mentioned up top, we have many partners in the space and we are working with them to bring true decentralization to their blockchains.*
-
-## ThreeFold had no ICO nor IEO. It pre-farmed its tokens
-
-ThreeFold didn’t have an ICO or IEO. ICOs and IEOs are fundraising schemes for blockchains to sell tokens to investors either directly (ICO) or through regulated exchanges (IEO). Instead, ThreeFold pre-farmed (ThreeFold’s sustainable alternative to mining) its tokens prior to going to the market and listed them on several exchanges, public and decentralized.
-
-
-This allowed ThreeFold to incentivize its early contributors, while also securing the ongoing development of the project until the launch of the Threefold Grid 2.0 in April 2020. Pre-mining is also an organic approach to the market, in line with ThreeFold’s values and vision of delivering products over using hype.
-
-## Product over Hype
-
-In some cases, ICOs and IEOs were surrounded with hype. It is always very hard to judge the ability of a project to deliver its promises through a white paper.
-
-
-Instead of fundraising with a white paper, the technological development remained the primary focus. For 4 years, ThreeFold developed the whole technology stack, starting with an operating-system built from scratch to the autonomous smart contract and virtual system administrator technology that enables a fully-autonomous peer-to-peer Cloud.
-
-
-In 2020, ThreeFold held the public launch of the ThreeFold Token on Liquid Exchange. At that time, the ThreeFold Grid was already live in its 2nd version.
-
-
-Today, you can go through the whole Threefold Universe and find ready-to-use products. You can participate in growing the world’s most advanced peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure, or use the peer-to-peer compute and storage capacity available on the P2P Cloud.

-*"This article was originally published by Hannah Cordes, a former member of ThreeFold Foundation."*
-
-
-
-As we previously shared, we believe in the organic and sustainable growth of ThreeFold Token and the Internet of Internets vision. And one of our key goals is to strengthen the foundation of the ecosystem by enhancing the stability and liquidity of the ThreeFold Token (TFT). So today, we’re embarking on a little journey to find out how to access TFT and how to provide liquidity on Stellar via [Albedo](https://albedo.link/).
-
-#### What are liquidity pools?
-
-Liquidity pools are an integral part of DeFi systems and can be understood as a “[collection of tokens or digital assets stored in a smart contract](https://www.blockchain-council.org/defi/crypto-liquidity-pools/)” on a decentralized exchange (DEX). Liquidity pools allow users to buy or sell such assets in a decentralized way and are used to enhance decentralized trading, lending/borrowing and other DeFi services. Users get rewarded with a cut of the fees generated in the process to incentivize them to become liquidity providers.
-
-#### What does it mean to drive liquidity on Stellar?
-
-Stellar offers multiple great solutions and basically everything we need, so it’s crucial for us to start building our own liquidity there. Since every asset and currency starts with zero liquidity when issued on Stellar, it is up to the community to put capital onto the Stellar Network and to put that capital to use for trading, e.g. by adding liquidity to pools with TFT. The more liquidity we provide on Stellar, the more we contribute to creating and sustaining a healthy market for TFT there – while simultaneously attracting others to get involved in TFT.
-
-#### About Stellar
-
-[Stellar](https://threefold.io/blog/thriving_with_stellar/) is an open network for storing, moving and trading any kind of money transparently and efficiently, with a thriving ecosystem on top and a huge community. Find out all about Stellar, its role for the TFT ecosystem, how to buy TFT on Stellar, and more [here](https://threefold.io/blog/thriving_with_stellar/).
-
-#### About Albedo
-
-[Albedo](https://albedo.link/) acts as a single access point to the Stellar ecosystem. It’s a free, open-source, secure and simple browser wallet for the Stellar Network. Albedo allows other Stellar apps to request transaction signing or identity verification – without ever requiring the exposure of users’ secret keys. It’s a nice and simple browser-based keystore with wallet-, swap- and liquidity pool functionalities.
-
-
-
-Together, we will now go through the process of accessing TFT and providing liquidity on Stellar by using Albedo and its key features. All it takes are four simple steps:
-
-1. Set up Albedo
-2. Get TFT
-3. Choose another asset
-4. Add liquidity to a pool
-
-## Step 1 – Set up Albedo
-
-Albedo is not just a wallet. It’s a **keystore** that interconnects applications across the Stellar universe and signs a transaction or verifies your identity for you, without running the risk of exposing your secret key or having to create new accounts for every Stellar application.
-
-### Step 1.1: Open Albedo
-
-Albedo works as a **web app and browser extension**, meaning you can either access it in your browser or install the extension on [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kbojmmmibkfijmjgnfgfpngmmgkkpncl) or [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/albedo-signer-for-stellar/). Once you’ve either opened Albedo in your browser or installed the extension, just follow the instructions.
-
-
-
-For this step-by-step guide, I’ve chosen to open Albedo in my browser instead of using the extension.
-
-### Step 1.2: Set up your Albedo account
-
-First, click on the “Create Albedo account”-button. Next, click “Proceed” on the bottom of the Welcome page.
-
-
-
-Now, you can choose between between three main options:
-
-* Log in
-* Import account
-* Create account
-
-If you already have an Albedo account, either directly **log in** or – if it’s the first time you’re using Albedo on a new device – click on the “Import Account”-button to **import the 24 word passphrase or secret key** and access your account.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-If you’re new to Albedo, you’ll need to create an Albedo account first in order to use the keystore. Choose a **safe password** for this account and hit “Create account”.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-You just set up your Albedo account! Make sure to carefully read the instructions on keeping your **recovery phrase** safe, before continuing.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Now you can check out your new account and play around with the settings, e.g. to change your account’s name. You also get an overview of all the possible ways to use Albedo.
-
-
-
-
-
-### Step 1.3: Activate account on ledger
-
-In order to make your Albedo account fully functional, you’ll need to initially activate the account on the ledger by sending at least **1.6 XLM** to your account’s address.
-
-## Step 2 – Get TFT
-
-The time has come to fund your Albedo account with TFT. Simply swap other assets for TFT if you’re already holding some in your Albedo account or transfer TFT from other wallets.
-
-
-
-*Good to know: Albedo doesn’t provide a direct fiat gateway. Visit our TFT knowledge base to discover all the ways you can [buy TFT](https://www.manual.grid.tf/documentation/threefold_token/buy_sell_tft/buy_sell_tft.html), including fiat options.*
-
-### Step 2.2.A: Deposit TFT to your Albedo account
-
-If you’re holding TFT in a different wallet, simply transfer the tokens and send them to your Albedo account. Simply open your wallet and send TFT to your Albedo address. It’s best to copy your Albedo address which is displayed in the top-left corner by clicking on the copy-symbol – it’s not only faster but also safer as copying prevents you from making typos.
-
-
-
-
-
-### Step 2.2.B: Swap XLM/USDC for TFT within Albedo
-
-You could also stay within Albedo by buying XLM or USDC first and then swapping them for TFT.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-***Important note**: I recommend buying XLM regardless of whether you’re choosing option A or B, as you’re going to **need XLM to pay for the transaction fees** within the Stellar Network anyways.*
-
-### Step 2.3: Activate assets
-
-Please note that you have to add a trustline for any asset you want to store in your Albedo account in order to activate it. Just go to “Balance” in your account overview. On the bottom of the page, you’ll find the “Add trustline”-button.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Click on “Add trustline”, then press the “Choose an asset” on the next page and type TFT into the “Select an asset”-field.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-**Caution: make sure to select the right TFT** – the one with our logo that’s linked with our website threefold.io – as shown in the image below.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Now you can activate the selected asset by pressing “Add trustline”.
-
-
-
-
-
-## Step 3 – Choose another asset
-
-At this point, you already have TFT in your Albedo account, so it’s time to choose a second asset to combine with TFT as a trading pair like XLM or USDC. You can get XLM or USDC on many exchanges and then deposit it to your Albedo wallet.
-
-
-
-Repeat the same procedure of buying/depositing/swapping and activating for this second asset – the other part of the trading pair you’ve chosen to provide liquidity to in a pool. We chose USDC.
-
-## Step 4 – Add liquidity to a pool
-
-For this guide, we’ll be depositing TFT and USDC in order to provide liquidity to the pool.
-
-
-
-So after creating and activating your account and assets on Albedo, you’re now holding TFT and USDC. You’re ready to add liquidity to the TFT <> USDC pool on Albedo.
-
-### Step 4.1: Select assets & amount
-
-Head to the “Liquidity” section in order to select the two assets you’d like to provide liquidity to and to set the amount of TFT and USDC you would like to provide to this pool.
-
-
-
-
-
-### Step 4.2: Deposit liquidity
-
-Now you’re ready to provide liquidity! Click on the “Deposit liquidity to the pool”-button located at the bottom of your screen to add the selected assets to the pool.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-**Congrats, you’ve just added liquidity to the TFT <> USDC pool!**
-
-
-
-Now you’re a liquidity provider on Stellar! Other ways to contribute to Stellar’s liquidity pools are [xBull Wallet](https://xbull.app/) and [StellarX](https://www.stellarx.com/). No matter which of the interfaces you use, they all enable you to add liquidity to the same underlying pool on the **StellarDEX** for the trading pair you chose.
-
-
-
-As exciting as this is, please don’t forget: With great decentralization comes great responsibility! So, do your own research on how liquidity pools work and make sure you understand the risks related to impermanent loss. Also, read [this advice](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__threefold_wallets?id=important-notes) on keeping your TFT safe.
-
-
-
-Feel free to ask any questions either in the [chats](https://t.me/threefold) or the forum’s [token section](https://forum.threefold.io/c/threefold-token/22)!
-
-
-
-*Please note that the ThreeFold Token ([TFT](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__threefold_token)) is not an investment instrument. Also, this is not investment advice, everyone is free to make their own choices. So, do your own research and read our [disclaimer](https://library.threefold.me/info/legal/#/legal__disclaimer).*

-Now more than ever with this global pandemic happening since late 2019, our lives are being shaped by our interaction with the digital world - work meetings on Zoom followed by Skype or Messenger Video Call with your family before a quick run with your favourite running app and a google search for your next meal. Technologies and services offer us a lot and greatly improve our daily lives. But what's the real cost of these tools we rely on so much?
-
-
-
-A lot of companies, especially those offering free services, collect data about you. It might be data you knowingly and willingly share to enjoy the benefits of the service (name, age, email address,..) or data that you might not realize you are sharing, like your approximate location through your IP address or your social network identifier or apps accessing your contacts.
-
-
-
-While some of this data, and its collection, may appear harmless to some, what happens behind the scenes is a real source of concern as the data collection is only the first step in a long and opaque process. Adtech companies combine this information and create an assumed picture of you that we may call a digital doppelganger - Your "digital secret identity". Actually, you may have hundreds or thousands of different doppelgangers held by companies you've never heard of.
-
-
-
-Our data are so valuable that big tech giants spend so much time and effort building the platform that is useful for us and giving those platforms to us for free. Well, this data is collected for a single purpose: to better predict your behaviour and target you with ads.
-
-
-
-Real example:
-
-
-
-Imagine a person who has never talked about their political views online, never shared anything related to politics, never donated any money and never mentioned anything even in their private emails. Now the algorithms models that had been developed can analyse his/her Facebook likes or the music he/she listen to and with high accuracy can predict their political affiliation, and then being the target of unnecessary ads.
-
-
-
-P.S: This is not only for political affiliation. It stands out for every products and service using these marketing tools.
-
-
-
-Technology isn't just hardware and software; it's a fundamental component of every aspect of our lives and society. Inventions need to be created with social impact in mind. The invention should not be driven solely by profit, and the long-term effects should not be ignored and unknowable.
-
-
-
-If you are not paying for it, you are not the customer. You are the product being sold. It's a powerful phrase, a modern dialogue to get people rethinking their relationship to social media.
-
-
-
-With Digital Twin, regain your freedom where you will live your digital life securely and privately. Now, you will have one and unique digital identity to interact in human-to-human way with your peers, edit, manage and store your documents, publish your web and make automatic payments.
-
-
-
-With Digital Twin, only you own your data and no one else.

-
-Last year at a ThreeFold gathering, a few of us on the team had the pleasure to meet a man named Vasily, a creative mind with a big heart and proud founder of Artheon. Artheon, in its essence, was a virtual reality museum experience focused on bringing fine art and culture from around the world directly to people. The concept was immediately captivating, and the demo brought it to life for us. The graphics were already solid, and being able to walk around a museum and interact with the artwork was a unique experience to say the least. We talked about the implications and his greater vision around access and education, and it was very clear we needed to partner up. Not long after, Artheon and ThreeFold joined forces.
-
-## So what is the partnership all about?
-
-Together with ThreeFold, Artheon aims to create the world's largest open art database – made for everyone, and owned by everyone. We will provide access to art and cultural heritage to people around the world, without borders. Not just access, but a high-quality and high-resolution virtual reality experience where people can really immerse themselves in their surrounding environment. With Artheon, people can now even touch and hold paintings or artifacts, something that would clearly not be possible in real life. And while today, only a select few (relative to the total global population) have the opportunity to travel and to experience museums and cultural & sacred sites, Artheon will change that!
-
-
-It's not only about experience, though, it's also about community and education and providing a more equal access to art and cultural objects. We'll bring together a global community of museums, artists, and art seekers who can not only enjoy, but also teach and learn about the art and cultural objects housed within the Artheon universe. For Artheon, it's imperative
-that people are able to access information about the artists and the art itself, and then make and share their own perceptions as well. No need or pressure to follow the direction of the current system's ideology. This is a different angle from how we traditionally learn at school, where narrow or accepted views and concepts are imposed upon us. A key aim of Artheon is to bring different perspectives through collective, participatory, and experiental teaching and learning.
-
-
-Looking ahead, the vision is that people will be able to create their own virtual spaces and expose them on Artheon. They can create something from scratch or even re-imagine a historical site as it was long ago and share it with the community.
-
-## How does ThreeFold benefit Artheon?
-
-From the start, there was a clear connection between Artheon and ThreeFold from a vision, values, and ethos perspective. But there are also some more specific reasons why Artheon chose and benefits from ThreeFold, which mainly revolve around the decentralized nature of the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) provide significant benefits to our new digital reality. These technologies open new ways of sharing information in areas such as the arts in the case of Artheon, allowing for upgraded and immersive experiences for users.
-
-
-Decentralized clouds have been associated with the promise of new digital applications and services that come with a hyper-connected life. Because the graphics of VR/AR experiences require heavy rendering, on-device processes are augmented by splitting workloads between the VR/AR device and a decentralized cloud. So, graphics rendering on a decentralized cloud like what the ThreeFold Grid provides would be significantly improved by achieving a much lower latency. Another advantage of the ThreeFold Grid is that it provides an extremely high level of security and privacy, empowering Artheon and its users with real data sovereignty.
-
-
-And finally, Artheon experienced an unfortunate event earlier this summer where their servers suffered from an intense heat wave and essentially burned up. There was no backup, and this would have been catastrophic in the scenario of them having millions of users. Good thing they aren't live yet, but this is a great example of how centralized models fail. With a decentralized infrastructure like ThreeFold, this type of situation would not have occured, as data would be hosted on many locations.
-
-
-So, by distributing the computing power closer to their users, a VR experience such as Artheon would not only improve their latency speed, security, and privacy, but also the resilience of their business model.
-
-## What is the status of Artheon (and its partnership with ThreeFold)?
-
-Over the past year, Artheon has been making incredible improvements to the graphics and experience, and adding as many new pieces of art as possible into the universe. As you can imagine, the possibilities really are endless, but here are some of the milestones planned for the rest of this year:
-
-
-
-- Planning to add partial DLC (downloadable content) support and photogrammetry-scanned locations for users to experience
-- New UI for desktop (Windows, MacOS, Linux)
-- Implementation of desired social features such as follower and friend system
-- People will be able to see who of their friends or people they follow are online – from that, they can connect to a server and join them to share experiences together
-- People will also be able to see how many people are online at the moment and where they are located on the globe (if permissions are allowed)
-- Allow the possibility for museums to host free or closed paid exhibitions
-- Artheon will be hosted on the ThreeFold Grid!
-
-
-## What can you do now to get involved?
-
-If you're reading this section, we're thrilled you are interested in what is happening with Artheon! We are, too! As Artheon is not yet live, the best option for you is to join [the Artheon Early Access chat on Telegram](https://t.me/artheon) where you can stay tuned there for updates and ask questions directly to Artheon's creators and contributors.

-The world’s most famous cryptocurrency Bitcoin, established in 2008 by a person or group of people under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto, is changing the world. With 106 million people owning Bitcoin after only twelve years, the growth momentum is undeniable. The popularity of Bitcoin is transforming monetary systems at large, and establishing trust through irrefutable records.
-
-
-
-Unlike traditional financial technologies, Bitcoin provides total control over one’s funds without the intervention of a central authority, such as a bank or government. Bitcoin is decentralized and spread across many computers worldwide. It’s not a company, it’s a protocol. No single person or entity can control, manipulate or influence the network’s operations. There has never been a hack at the network level since Bitcoin launched in 2009.
-
-
-
-Bitcoin sparked a revolution towards decentralized and peer-to-peer systems. The advantage of such systems is that they operate without central authority, can be audited by anyone, and push for collaboration as their designs are public, inviting everyone to take part.
-
-
-
-New systems built from scratch, like DeFi (decentralized finance), don't have the problem of legacy firms, but they face challenges in scaling towards mass adoption. Most of the so-called ‘Web3’ solutions provide the illusion of decentralization but are actually still quite centralized. Others still have to prove their scalability, security and accessibility to become real alternatives to the current tech giants. While that may change, it's not a given considering the clear limitations they have to overcome.
-
-
-
-The Internet represents the second largest and fastest growing economy in the world. With plenty of technologies emerging such as Blockchain, Web3, IoT and the Metaverse to name just a few, the infrastructure that holds our digital world together is becoming more important than ever before. However, the Internet is struggling with many issues related to its incredibly centralized model, including a lack of resiliency and scalability, as well as the loss of its neutrality. And these issues keep intensifying.
-
-
-
-Amazon Web Services alone hosts more than a third of the Internet today. Adding in a few other tech giants, we essentially end up with only four or five companies controlling the majority of the Internet. While the US government has been debating potential regulations and even breakups of big tech corporations, other governments like China or Russia are already regulating certain aspects of the web. However, most regulations have failed to achieve the desired outcomes and are unable to keep up with the pace of innovations.
-
-
-
-There’s a saying that goes, “If it is free, you are the product.” Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram are known for being completely free of charge. Their business models and profits are based on collecting, analyzing and selling their users’ data. [Studies](https://www.mcleanhospital.org/essential/it-or-not-social-medias-affecting-your-mental-health) now show that high social media use correlates with self-reported declines in mental and physical health. The same platforms are being manipulated by private companies that spread political disinformation and polarity. According to internal Facebook [reports](https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/26/21270659/facebook-division-news-feed-algorithms), 64% of the people that joined extremist groups did so because algorithms steered them there. In an increasingly interconnected world where people are surrounded by smart devices that collect their data 24/7, data ownership and control has never been more important than anything else.
-
-
-
-Since the launch of Bitcoin, many cryptocurrencies have rallied the movement of decentralization, but only a handful hold technology that can bring true impact. What if there was one project out there that could apply the peer-to-peer and open-source fundamentals to the Internet? ThreeFold spent the last six years developing a new Internet infrastructure from the ground up consisting of a new decentralized operating system, a quantum safe storage system, a planetary mesh network and a distributed edge cloud solution.
-
-
-
-ThreeFold builds on 20+ years of technological innovations in the cloud automation, Internet storage and cybersecurity markets brought by its co-founders such as Kristof de Spiegeleer – a serial entrepreneur whose technologies have been acquired by Oracle, Verizon, Data Symantec and others. Together, the ThreeFold co-founders decided to start from scratch as they realized it was the only way to achieve a peer-to-peer and open-source digital backbone that secure, private and self-sovereign.
-
-
-
-According to de Spiegeleer, “ThreeFold holds more technology than all the Web3 space combined.” ThreeFold’s decentralized operating system can run on any computer, including servers, desktops and laptops, allowing anyone to connect hardware from their home or office to the peer-to-peer Internet."
-
-
-
-But what differentiates ThreeFold the most from the crowd is that it’s a project anchored in it’s values and vision. The project always remained far from fake hype, market making or FOMO games like the large majority of crypto projects. With a low market cap today, and its ability to transform the Internet at large, the time to buy [ThreeFold Tokens (TFT)](https://threefold.io/tft) is now. “We’re on the verge of signing our first countries and also have use cases across Real Estate, Education, Supply Chain, Metaverse and Blockchain coming up this year,” said de Spiegeleer, “So, we believe we are looking at tens of millions of users on ThreeFold in the upcoming years."
-

-## A little history on blockchain technology
-
-Everyone thinks that Satoshi Nakamoto invented blockchain technology when he published his whitepaper in January 2009 to make a digital currency the first use case. But it was not!.
-
-
-In 1991, Dr. W. Scott Stornetta published a white paper in which he introduced a 'blockchain' as a decentralized database where digital transactions are secured. The research focused on creating a digital hierarchy system that time-stamped and chronologically secured deals in a chain of blocks. The first considered use case for blockchain technology was to sign and store land deeds digitally. The technology's main characteristics were decentralization and immutability across the process of storing transaction data.
-
-
-Satoshi was the person (or part of a group of people) that used these blockchain principles to create the first digital currency - Bitcoin. The rest is history, from one to many digital currencies based on different creation principles (also referred to as cryptocurrencies, digital coins, etc.) that have been launched and existed for over a decade and have begun to come more into the mainstream purview.
-
-## Decentralization and immutability
-
-The two characteristics that have spawned interest in Blockchain technology are decentralization and immutability. In the current world, centralization is everywhere, in most industries, governments, education systems, the world wide web (Internet), and more. All roads these days seem to lead to centralized setups.
-
-
-Examples of centralized setups today:
-
-
-- **Monetary**: Fiat currencies are governed and controlled by central banks. According to Wikipedia: "A central bank, reserve bank, or monetary authority is an institution that manages a state's currency, money supply, and interest rates. Central banks also oversee the commercial banking system of their respective countries. In contrast to a commercial bank, a central bank has a monopoly on increasing the monetary base in the state and prints the national currency, which serves as the state's legal tender. Central banks also act as a "lender of last resort" to the banking sector during a financial crisis. Most central banks also have supervisory and regulatory powers to ensure the solvency of member institutions, prevent bank runs, and prevent reckless or fraudulent behavior by member banks." So central banks control fiat currencies, and other institutions control central banks.
-- **World Wide Web (WWW)**: The World Wide Web is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext links, and accessible via the Internet. English scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. Although distributed by design, this technology shares and exposes globally developed information and centralized functions crucial to make this World Wide Web work: large (commercial) monopolies have developed centralized search facilities, e.g., yellow pages of the world wide web. These search facilities now control what you find when you are looking for a specific search term.
-
-
-There seems to be a natural "desire" to organize and create different things with central control. Probably the result of our (humankind) social models based on hierarchies and competition. These social models have influenced a lot of what we have built in the industrial and information revolution - creating centralization as the defacto standard of building anything.
-
-
-Now that we have invented a technology that potentially can build different things without a lot of centralization, we need to be careful to use it for the right things.
-
-## Blockchain myths
-
-To investigate what potential right use cases exist for blockchain technologies, let spend some time on some of the blockchain myths created in recent years. Similar to other new technologies, blockchains market themselves as a miracle technology that overcomes many (if not any) of the challenges and difficulties that exist in modern-day digital technology. Let's name and investigate a few.
-
-### Blockchains are "Super Scalable"
-
-Are they? Pure blockchain deployments are not super scalable compared to conventional (server-based) transaction methods. Current financial blockchain transaction times are very slow compared to any other (currency) transaction technologies out there, being it card transactions like Mastercard, VISA, or money transfers from one bank account to another.
-
-### Blockchain technology brings "Impeccable security."
-
-Very questionable! While blockchains use cryptographic standards, the methods to ensure privacy is entirely outside of any blockchain standards and implementations. It's every implementer's responsibility to ensure security, therefore mostly handled as it is in the old (conventional?) world.
-
-### When using Blockchains, "Trustworthiness is guaranteed."
-
-By what? Blockchain ensures the integrity of transactions and information storage, but otherwise, nothing is inherently trustworthy about any fact stored on the Blockchain. You need to corroborate trustworthiness by ensuring that the parties who store information in the Blockchain are incorruptible and that these facts are correct —just as you would in the rest of the world without using blockchain technology.
-
-### Blockchains can manage "Anything."
-
-Blockchain is a protocol expressed in code, and this does not define in terms of any standard. There are no standards bodies to provide sanctioned implementation rules or guidance.
-
-
-Many contracts or types of data are better dealt with not on a blockchain: as it is a database that has only write and read functionality, but no update nor deletion is possible, it's even dangerous to post sensitive and personal data on a blockchain, and if not used well, there might raise conflicts with regulations such as GDPR. However, a blockchain can provide consensus where required.
-
-### Smart contracts on the Blockchain can do "Everything."
-
-Potentially but maybe not in the way how people see it today. While this is technically true, Blockchain is limited to well-understood and straightforward use cases, without ambiguities. Smart contracts are essentially rocket science. By design, once published (launched), you cannot revise or bug fix them.
-
-### Blockchain deployments "If not public - go private!"
-
-Not the same thing! Private blockchains are not the answer to privacy or restricted access to information. Purely private/enterprise blockchains might fail to realize any of the benefits of Blockchain.
-
-### A new feature, "justifies deploying a new Blockchain."
-
-Community-driven blockchain products are being forked left and right by private players who enhance them in various ways. But only the open-source blockchains with the largest communities and install-plus-adoption bases will persist. The rest are mainly lab experiments, and 99.9 percent of these probably fail.
-
-## Blockchain myths undone
-
-So Blockchain is a hyped new technology, but they are not the answer to everything. Just like with any other technology or tool, you need to consider if the use case considered carefully is appropriate. In the end, it is only neutral characteristics that might be a reason for applying a blockchain or not:
-- is there a need for decentralization?
-- is there a need for immutability?

-
-When considering Blockchain technology for a specific purpose, proper due diligence should happen. This to determine the fit and implementing it if it enhances value for the organization. Humans play a vital role in the decision process and are required to find solutions for the flaws that blockchains bring along.
-
-
-Scalability, security, trustworthiness, functionality are to be added by humans to blockchain deployments.
-
-
-This delicate mix of characteristics to be implemented explains why many Blockchain projects don't succeed, despite the rightful claims around the disruptive nature of the technology.
-
-
-Two frequent mistakes within the Industry:
-- The technology is used as the ultimate technology to solve all the problems described above, and this often leads to failure in the end as Blockchain can't fulfill these promises.
-- The technology is used under the false pretext that decentralization is wanted, whereas the real intention is to be in control. Blockchain thinking also requires an entirely different way of thinking than the classical models embedded in the heart of our economies: concentration of power & control and competition need to make room for decentralization and collaboration.
-
-### Blockchains are here to stay!
-
-With all the hype around blockchain technology and also all the failed initiatives, blockchain technology does allow for digital worlds to exist without centralization. The information revolution has brought forward a lot of progress and innovation to the people; however, the outcome has also been only a few large organizations controlling all of it.
-
-
-Examples are:
-- Online search: Google
-- Online social: Facebook, Twitter
-- Online banking: any large international bank
-- Online insurance: few insurance alliances
-- Customer Relationship Management: SalesForce
-- Enterprise Resource Management: Oracle, SAP
-
-
-All these organizations are leading in their specific digital innovation sector, and some of them even provide services for free. Nothing is for free in this world and reality -in return for these services, you accept the terms and conditions which allow the companies to use your personal information and user statistics for their benefits and make money from this behavior derived data.
-
-
-Most industry leaders have become so powerful that there is almost no way around them anymore. You are practically obliged to comply with their terms and conditions to do something useful with the Internet today.
-
-
-The world is awakening and seeking alternatives in which such monopolistic structures do not control data and information. Blockchain technologies allow new solutions to be built without central governing bodies, creating person-to-person sharing and trading opportunities.
-
-### The combination of people and blockchains is really powerful
-
-People remain the best to create decentralized business models that combine Blockchain's strengths with complementary measures to compensate for the weaknesses of the technology. Blockchains are not replacing people. Blockchain technology is just a tool that enhances people's ability to organize themselves around decentralized initiatives that require no central body to govern and control. Therefore, Blockchain is a powerful tool indeed but remains just a tool.
-
-### A platform for people to start blockchains
-
-What if there would be a platform where the strong points of blockchains (decentralization) could enable people to organize themselves around a random initiative and launch it based on blockchain technology? Blockchain As a Service (BAAS).
-
-
-A platform like that could be powerful to enable people around the world to use and benefit from blockchain technology to organize themselves around digital initiatives, currencies, finance, trade, company, anything. Let's consider a small example:
-
-
-e.g., Sixty people want to start an organization in which they all have an equal stake. They can organize this by going to the notary and establishing a company with equity and dividing the equity amongst them. They can run quarterly /annual meetings to govern and control the company. They would also need an administration to record decisions and communicate across the organization.
-
-
-What if a platform could launch several blockchain nodes (60, one for each of them) and record all decisions, having all information trackable and traceable for anyone? Blockchain As A Service (BAAS) will enable people to organize themselves independently and create new movements, companies, groups, tribes. This would be a powerful platform allowing many people (and hopefully all people) to organize themselves in new ways, free of the need to have notaries, lawyers, and contracts.
-
-
-However, to build such a platform, compliance is needed with some pretty specific requirements. Requirements that enable such a platform not to be governed and controlled by a single organization.
-
-
-The requirements for such a platform would sum up as follows:
-- A single organization cannot own the platform, it needs to be owned by many
-- Such a platform cannot have administrator access. Administrators access takes away the neutrality and privacy that such a platform requires.
-- The platform needs to be very efficient. To be available to all people globally, it needs to be affordable for anyone.
-- The platform needs to be everywhere. Part of the efficiency is that it should require expensive international access lines - it needs to be able to live everywhere - in well connected (and affordable) areas as well as in less well-connected places.
-
-
-Such a platform is a very different platform than most of what we know today. It needs to be a platform build by many people, for anyone. It needs not be governed by a single organization; it needs to be governed by many.
-
-
-People with the right intentions need to collectively build a platform based on hardware owned by many and software that is open and can be inspected and improved by anyone. It is a platform created by people for people using blockchain technology to achieve a genuinely decentralized nature of the platform running Blockchain as a service.
-
-
-People should always remain as the element that brings trust in IT. Blockchains help to register that trust forever.

-ThreeFold started as an idea about ten years ago and is now manifesting itself into the most comprehensive peer-to-peer Internet and cloud infrastructure in the world. The potential of our technology to revolutionize digitization globally is endless and limited only to our collective imagination. In this blog, we share our ‘glocal’ strategy on how we will build our ecosystem, and the exciting opportunities opening up around the world for those interested to join us!
-
-
-
-Let’s start with some background. Today’s Internet is global*. However, it is incredibly centralized and vulnerable. ThreeFold aims to decentralize its infrastructure, empower people to be sovereign, and accelerate the world’s transition towards open-source systems to build a more inclusive and fair future for all.
-
-
-
-A peer-to-peer Internet has an undeniable potential in driving a distributed global economy. This is for a number of reasons – including, but not limited to the fact that instead of relying on centralized cloud providers and tech giants to expand the infrastructure that holds humanity’s data and applications, the peer-to-peer Internet allows any global citizen to participate in the Internet economy by connecting a computer from their house or office to build the decentralized future they want to live in. Also, while half of the world takes Internet access for granted, it remains unavailable to the other half.
-
-
-
-*So then is the Internet really “global?”
-
-## Empowering sovereignty and economic freedom
-
-Billions of people around the world still remain without access to the Internet or financial services today. Yet many of them have access to electricity and network, and some even already own a mobile phone that could help them access the Internet and financial services. But without fair and reliable connectivity, they remain in the dark. ThreeFold holds an answer here.
-
-
-
-The Internet is a human right but it is unequally distributed around the world. ThreeFold enables the realization of an open-source, peer-to-peer Internet that can scale to anywhere electricity and network exists. Everyone deserves access to the Internet, education and financial services to equally learn, partake and succeed, regardless of where they were born, their gender or their socioeconomic status.
-
-## So how can ThreeFold go truly global?
-
-Going global is complicated and even more these days with the evolving regulatory and socio-economical landscapes. Thus, it’s important for us to be on the ground. So we will work with our community and ecosystem on one hand, and with governments and regulators on the other hand, for all of us to meet in the middle. We will always aim to be the most transparent, trusted, inclusive and decentralized Internet solution wherever we go.
-
-
-
-A first step in our strategy is to support the growth of local communities across regions to build local presence on the ground. The only way for a truly decentralized Internet to emerge is to involve people in the building process of it, both on a hardware and software level. We are in the midst of kicking off an extensive global expansion strategy, with grants and hiring plans to grow the ThreeFold Grid across markets and ultimately build strong local communities that can serve potential customers locally.
-
-
-
-Together with these communities, we will develop and grow the ThreeFold Grid, establish our presence with local developers, grow our ecosystem, and collaborate closely with our network.
-
-
-
-Throughout the last year we have made incredible connections across industries including Blockchain, Web 3.0, IoT, Real Estate and Supply Chains.
-
-
-
-Every region is unique and we cannot take the same approach wherever we go. This is where the idea of ‘glo-cality’ comes in – a global concept applied locally with regional context.
-
-## Global Concept: Launch of educational campaigns around the importance of a peer-to-peer Internet
-
-ThreeFold’s mission is to realize the promise of an open-source, peer-to-peer Internet owned by humanity, and we take this commitment heartedly. The first objective of our global strategy is to allow anyone who wants to expand the peer-to-peer Internet to their neighborhood to be able to find compatible computers and how to get started.
-
-
-
-For a multi-region approach to scaling the ThreeFold Grid to arise, a decentralized 3Node marketplace will be launched in April 2022. This will allow communities to access a simple, decentralized and certified platform to buy and sell compatible computer hardware locally. As the ThreeFold Grid expands, we will look to go local, as shared below:
-
-## Applied locally: Grow localized ecosystems of developers and enterprises to productize the infrastructure
-
-Most countries are looking for new Internet infrastructure alternatives to protect their sovereignty. ThreeFold’s peer-to-peer Internet supports any current and emerging technological trend in a way that is fully compliant with any local digital laws and regulations. For developers and enterprises, this includes a peer-to-peer Infrastructure as a service which offers a distributed, quantum-safe storage and a decentralized edge computing platform to host any current or future technology. For institutions, we will offer a suite of advanced infrastructure set-ups for a sovereign and unbreakable Internet infrastructure.
-
-
-
-Decentralized financial and legal systems are being created along with industry experts from around the world to deliver on cross-border financial freedom, education and Internet access. Along with a strong ecosystem, we are planning to offer a full suite of advanced technological, financial and educational solutions to countries, especially in the global south to bring access to education, Internet and financial inclusion to more than a billion people by 2030.
-
-
-
-At ThreeFold, we’re committed to building and expanding the open Internet that is owned by humanity. We are always looking at expanding our ecosystem with the world’s best thinkers and talent ready to be at service of a mission that unites us all. If you think this could be you, we’re waiting for you!

-On February 24 2022, Russia launched a large-scale military invasion and attack on Ukraine. In the days since the invasion began, the war has been fought not only on the ground and in the air, but also in the digital realm.
-
-
-
-Cyber warfare is nothing new, especially in Russia and Eastern Europe. “In the relatively short and rapidly evolving history of cyber conflict, perhaps nothing has been established with greater certainty and more widely accepted than the idea that Russia has significant cyber capabilities and isn’t afraid to use them,” [writes Josephine Wolff](https://time.com/6153902/russia-major-cyber-attacks-invasion-ukraine/), associate professor of cybersecurity policy at Tufts University. “Especially on Ukraine.”
-
-
-
-Leading up to the invasion, Ukraine experienced a series of cyberattacks on its critical infrastructures, including banks and government agencies. On February 23 2022, just a day before the launch of Russia’s military attack, websites of the Ukrainian parliament and multiple government agencies were put out of work. Similar cyber attacks had also been seen in early February and [were attributed to GRU](https://www.economist.com/europe/2022/02/23/will-war-in-ukraine-lead-to-a-wider-cyber-conflict?utm_campaign=a.io&utm_medium=audio.podcast.np&utm_source=babbage&utm_content=discovery.content.anonymous.tr_shownotes_na-na_article&utm_term=sa.listeners), Russia’s military-intelligence agency. And Ukrainian cities continue to suffer from [internet blackouts](https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2022/02/26/ukrainian-cities-are-suffering-internet-blackouts?utm_campaign=a.io&utm_medium=audio.podcast.np&utm_source=babbage&utm_content=discovery.content.anonymous.tr_shownotes_na-na_article&utm_term=sa.listeners). On Sunday, Ukraine’s vice president even called for tech specialists and hackers to join the “cyber front.” While the predictions of a Russian “cyber onslaught” have not necessarily come true yet, both sides have engaged in cyber attacks on visible and invisible levels.
-
-## A Rise in State-Sponsored Cyber Attacks Globally
-
-Digital or cyber warfare does not just apply to Russia and Ukraine. Broadly, cybersecurity experts have been raising concerns in recent years amid a sharp rise in ransomware and other types of digital attacks globally.
-
-
-
-Adam Meyers, Senior Vice President of Intelligence at the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike [said](https://www.marketplace.org/2022/02/24/cybersecurity-to-take-center-stage-as-conflict-continues-in-ukraine/): “Just in the last year, I think we’ve seen over 2,700 big-game hunting attacks [cyberattacks that target high-value data]. So they’re far and away that most prevalent actor. Nation-state actors are continuously operating as well, but they tend to operate a little bit more under the radar. They don’t conduct as many widespread and widely known attacks. They try to, obviously, steal information without it being identified that they’ve stolen it.”
-
-
-
-Nevertheless, these are just the most current examples – Russia is hardly the only country engaging in cyber warfare at a larger scale. In fact, it is becoming increasingly difficult for governments, corporations and organizations to protect themselves against cyber attacks, especially against [state-sponsored attacks](https://www.economist.com/business/2022/02/19/companies-have-a-lot-to-fear-from-russias-digital-warmongering?utm_campaign=a.io&utm_medium=audio.podcast.np&utm_source=babbage&utm_content=discovery.content.anonymous.tr_shownotes_na-na_article&utm_term=sa.listeners). And in the digital space, the best and most dangerous hacks are those that go unnoticed until it’s too late.
-
-## Some Governments are Sectioning Off the Internet Through Digital Borders
-
-A set of countries like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and Iran have certain [aspirations for the internet](https://www.codastory.com/authoritarian-tech/global-rise-internet-sovereignty/). Domestically, these countries want control and think governments should get to decide what information flows across their borders. Globally, they want governments, not companies and NGOs, to be in charge of the internet. While some may say that government-owned internet infrastructures would be the only way to protect a country’s sovereignty, it goes without saying that what once was a neutral space for humanity to connect and exchange information is turning into a political schema.
-
-
-
-Taken together, these goals are an attempt to align cyberspace with national borders, so they are sometimes dubbed the [“cyber sovereignty” doctrine](https://www.codastory.com/authoritarian-tech/global-rise-internet-sovereignty/). The term comes from China, whose internet censorship system, called the Great Firewall, is the vanguard of the global cyber-sovereignty push. China’s cyberspace agency released a much-ridiculed musical ode to cybersecurity under Lu Wei’s leadership, which included the line: “A cyberpower: Where the Internet is, so is the glorious dream.”
-
-
-
-The vision of effective cyber-sovereignty is expanding to new horizons. A November [report](https://www.codastory.com/authoritarian-tech/global-rise-internet-sovereignty/) from Freedom House examined 65 countries and found since the previous year that internet freedom declined in 26 of them. Chinese-style “digital authoritarianism,” meanwhile, is growing in influence as China exports both its surveillance known-how and technology.
-
-
-
-The problem here is that digital sovereignty is a major concept that not only addresses the issues of communication and connection but also the impact on societies and culture at large. With cyber sovereignty turning into a non-territorial challenge to sovereignty itself irrespective of the virtual realm of the internet, is there a way out for humanity?
-
-## A Free and Sovereign Cyber Space is Needed
-
-It is evident that the current internet is facing some big challenges that have major implications for humanity. Data privacy and self-sovereignty is almost impossible today, raising serious questions towards those that control the Internet. But it also seems that these companies fell into the trap of their own business models and algorithms.
-
-
-
-When taking a step back, the world seems just a few years away from the Matrix, as depicted by the Wachowskis.
-
-
-
-The Internet is playing an incredibly important role for the most powerful intelligence companies. As depicted by Meyers, we wouldn’t even notice that our information is being stolen all the time to benefit the greed of powerful geo-political actors. The internet is not a public good anymore, and unless humanity reacts fast, it may be that the world will lose all forms of freedom or sovereignty.
-
-
-
-[“A declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace”](https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence) by John Perry Barlow once attempted to shed light on the applicability of government and institutions on the rapidly growing internet, already in 1996 trying to protect its neutrality. According to research, the world is experiencing innovation at an increasingly rapid pace. With the rise of blockchains and web3 technology, could the dream of John Perry Barlow turn into reality?
-
-## So, What is the Solution?
-
-In a world aching for more decentralization and less dependence on governments and corporations, new decentralized and peer-to-peer models are already proving to be more resilient and secure. New Internet infrastructure companies such as ThreeFold have successfully built peer-to-peer internet infrastructures that are more resilient than the current centralized model. On such systems, people and enterprises can store their data and run their applications on a distributed network of computers in such a way that their data cannot be corrupted. ThreeFold even created a so-called “quantum safe” storage that guarantees that even the most powerful computers in the world wouldn’t be able to reconstruct user data.
-
-
-
-The escalation of this cyber conflict can lead to unforeseen consequences and casualties. That is why it is especially important that our industry works together to protect customers, partners, employees and citizens.

-
-*"This article was originally published by Hannah Cordes, a former member of ThreeFold Foundation."*
-
-
-
-What started out as an idea for a better Internet about a decade ago has evolved into a global movement that’s building a decentralized, open and inclusive future through [the Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/). The journey towards our ultimate vision of a better future for all is a big one, but can be divided into four digestible phases: creation, expansion, Web 4 and velocity.
-
-## 1 The Phase of Creation
-
-For the past six years, we’ve been building up an incredible full-stack, open-source, decentralized Internet infrastructure, all from the ground-up. From creating our own decentralized operating system, to building a Quantum Safe Storage System, a complete far edge cloud computing platform and planetary peer-to-peer network all accessible via a unique Smart Contract for IT on the ThreeFold Blockchain, we’re proud to have the most complete edge infrastructure to power the next-generation Internet era. A new world is coming, and our technology has the potential to revolutionize digitization on a global scale, across sectors.
-
-
-
-The creation phase was about developing the key tech components and an initial deployment of our infrastructure worldwide. The ThreeFold Grid is now live in its third generation and the stack is fully functional. As of today, people from all across the world have connected more than [3,000 nodes](https://twitter.com/threefold_io/status/1529903015938998272) across +78 countries to create the world’s largest decentralized Internet infrastructure, and new capacity is being connected every day.
-
-
-
-In addition to fully comprehensive decentralized edge cloud solutions, the ThreeFold ecosystem is also developing a range of applications and experiences across IoT, metaverse, blockchain, DeFi, banking, education and beyond.
-
-
-
-The phase of creation is almost complete. The ThreeFold team is currently working on the Digital Twin solution that will allow the ecosystem to tap into Web 4 principles – a paradigm that overcomes the limitations of Web 2 and the inefficiencies of Web 3. By advancing our technology further, ThreeFold will be in a unique position to open new frontiers and support emerging global trends.
-
-## 2 The Phase of Expansion
-
-The second phase is all about the growth of the ThreeFold Grid and [connecting the dots](https://threefold.io/blog/connecting_the_dots/). From individual farmers and farming cooperatives connecting Internet capacity independently to our global network, to building Community Clouds and Regional Internets for countries, various pathways to Grid growth have been established by the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/) concept.
-
-
-
-The Internet of Internets will interconnect us all, while providing us with digital sovereignty, privacy and meaningful experiences. It focuses on incentivizing local communities to build their own resilient Community Clouds to support their city, town or village with the foundation to build their decentralized future.
-
-
-
-Depending on their geographic proximity, Community Clouds will be able to form Regional Internets. Each Regional Internet will be equipped with their own blockchain, validators and liquidity providers as well as local digital experiences in order to remain independent from the rest of the world. In that sense, whatever would happen to the Internet infrastructure outside of the borders of that region would not affect local connectivity and digital economies.
-
-
-
-Ultimately, Regional Internets will be interconnected by the ThreeFold Hub on a global level to create the Internet of Internets. This model is infinitely scalable. Instead of relying on one global network and blockchain, ThreeFold will allow for many independent and interoperable Internet infrastructures that support local communities with a platform to build their own blockchain, DeFi, metaverse, IoT, eCommerce solutions, and much more. Each layer has its own distinct purpose and enables seamless ecosystem-wide interactions.
-
-
-
-With [the Paradise Hills partnership](https://threefold.io/blog/paradise_hills/) as the first proof of concept for Community Clouds and our team working with governments in multiple countries, we’re following the glocal approach of applying the global Internet of Internets concept locally with regional context. With our growing community and ecosystem supporting us, and building new relationships, we’re well set to turn the Internet of Internets into reality in the upcoming years.
-
-
-
-The phase of expansion will probably never end. ThreeFold is infinitely scalable, and there are many reasons to continue growing the ThreeFold Grid as it is best positioned to service the emerging demand for edge computing and sovereign Internet infrastructure for decades to come.
-
-## 3 The Phase of Web 4
-
-In parallel with the expansion phase, the rollout of the Web 4 phase is expected to kick off later this year to re-imagine business, governance, finance, education and more in order to provide better alternatives for people, enterprises and governments. Essentially, the Internet of Internets is laying the foundational infrastructure, and Web 4 technology will open a world of new possibilities around peer-to-peer and self-sovereign systems.
-
-
-
-The Web 4 phase will empower people to become 100% self-sovereign with a range of decentralized alternatives to Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Chrome, Zoom and much more.
-
-
-
-A multitude of valuable and meaningful experiences are being built by the ThreeFold ecosystem and partners to empower people with equal chances to learn, create, and thrive in a decentralized digital economy – what we like to call an abundance-based future for humanity.
-
-
-
-The key to all of this is ThreeFold's open-source Digital Twin technology. It provides a unique digital identity that can serve as the key to an open, self-sovereign and complete digital future. The Digital Twin technology allows ThreeFold to flip the current centralized client-server model upside down, empowering people to become the masters of their own destiny. No more data being collected by servers and sold to third-parties – you become the center of your digital life. There will be more on Digital Twin and its potential to change everything coming very soon.
-
-
-
-Along with strategic partnerships being formed across the four corners of the globe, the Web 4 phase will support the ThreeFold Foundation’s vision of providing access to a better Internet paradigm to a billion people by 2030.
-
-## 4 The Phase of Velocity
-
-The rise of the Internet of Internets and the build-up of powerful experiences on Web 4 technology will bring the ecosystem to its fourth phase – Velocity. At that moment in time, it will be all about utilization, economic growth and the acceleration of our collective vision.
-
-
-
-The [ThreeFold tokenomics](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__tokenomics) have been designed to support a decentralized Internet economy that incentivizes participants to host nodes, validate the blockchain and build applications on the ThreeFold Grid. The moment utilization kicks in at a large scale on Web 4, the ThreeFold Ecosystem will be ready to reach millions – and eventually, billions – of users through powerful digital experiences that provide a better alternative than today’s paradigm. As of today, 35% of ThreeFold Token transactions under Proof of Utilization are burned to create a deflationary economy. This will create additional [value](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__grid_valuation) for the token ecosystem as it will reduce the circulating supply in relation to the increasing demand for ThreeFold’s infrastructure.
-
-
-
-Simply put, the fourth phase will drive significant utilization of the ThreeFold Token and support in positioning it as the Bitcoin for Internet capacity. It will open up a decentralized Internet economy full of opportunities, empowerment and meaningful experiences for people all around the world.
-
-## Bringing Abundance & Opportunity to the World
-
-*"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." – John Lennon*
-
-
-
-We’ve reached a pivotal moment in the evolution of ThreeFold to support our world in solving some of its greatest challenges. A complete and resilient Internet infrastructure owned by local communities is an essential way to build a circular and participatory economy. Considering that the Internet is the second largest and fastest growing economy in the world, the Internet of Internets represents a foundation for a decentralized and abundant world.
-
-
-
-The [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/) model supports ThreeFold in achieving its vision of providing Internet access to more than a billion people worldwide. And we believe that if we work together, we can connect all of humanity responsibly. Driven by our planet-first, people-first philosophy, the ThreeFold movement is shaping the world we want to live in and laying the foundation for an open, inclusive and abundance-based future.
-
-
-
-The current phase of expansion is vital to turn our vision into reality and to fulfill our mission. Let’s build this world of opportunity and abundance together.

-description: We truly believe in decentralization. So, the team is doing some incredible work on developing our own DeFi solutions. They’re aimed at providing a native financial system for the Internet of Internets and strengthening the foundation of the ecosystem by enhancing the stability and liquidity of the ThreeFold Token (TFT).

-*"This article was originally published by Hannah Cordes, a former member of ThreeFold Foundation."*
-
-
-
-The emergence of blockchain technology presented the world with new exciting opportunities – from independent digital currencies and decentralized financial (DeFi) applications to smart contracts, consensus-driven voting systems, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Above all, blockchain technology held, and still holds, the promise of decentralization and transparency.
-
-
-
-But somewhere along the way, much of the blockchain and crypto space started to return to principles and methods of the old financial system. Many projects out there seem to choose hype and fast profits over long-term growth and providing real value. Now, unsurprisingly, we’re experiencing a serious bear market, [the worst](https://cointelegraph.com/news/2022-bear-market-has-been-the-worst-on-record-glassnode) crypto has seen to date.
-
-
-
-That doesn’t have to be a bad thing, though. And it won’t be, for projects like us who provide real value, bring impactful solutions, and take a different approach. The monetary system is clearly failing, we shouldn’t need to rely on central banks – or even centralized exchanges for that matter. And we don’t have to!
-
-
-
-We believe in decentralization. And we believe that the future is decentralized. DeFi is great and fortunately, many decentralized alternatives already exist, with thriving ecosystems and communities. There are many options to [buy and sell TFT](https://www.manual.grid.tf/documentation/threefold_token/buy_sell_tft/buy_sell_tft.html) in a decentralized way, including multiple options within the [Stellar ecosystem](https://threefold.io/blog/thriving_with_stellar/) – and we’re also exploring meaningful partnership opportunities with Algorand. Both Stellar and Algorand already provide everything we need for a healthy financial ecosystem and offer various functions crucial for the [TFT](https://forum.threefold.io/t/the-potential-of-the-threefold-token-tft/1796) ecosystem – from order books to wallets to AMM liquidity pools and on/off ramp options. And both have huge, thriving communities.
-
-
-
-Beyond these great decentralized options, we’ve decided to develop our own DeFi solutions to support the [growth and expansion](https://threefold.io/blog/four_phases_of_threefold/) of the Internet of Internets and an abundance-based future where we are truly sovereign: community-based liquidity pools and the P2P DeFi Wallet. These DeFi solutions will be the foundation of the financial system for the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/).
-
-
-
-Let’s take a look at both of the innovative features and when to expect them.
-
-## What are ThreeFold Liquidity Pools?
-
-ThreeFold’s community-based liquidity pools are a means of enabling the people and organizations within the ThreeFold ecosystem to exchange [TFT](https://threefold.io/tft) and to provide liquidity in a safe and decentralized way. They will become the main point of entry and exit for TFT. And everyone can be a part of this.
-
-## What is the P2P DeFi Wallet?
-
-As the name P2P DeFi Wallet already gives away, this new wallet is a DeFi platform based on peer-to-peer principles. It will enable anyone to buy and sell TFT, and to trade it for other digital currencies in a highly secure and safe way within the wallet – no need to integrate with other DeFi applications or exchanges. This prevents TFT from market manipulation and protects our community from abuse by financial bots. This wallet provides a solid, stable financial base for our token.
-
-## Why Are These New DeFi Solutions Important for the ThreeFold Ecosystem?
-
-Blockchain ecosystems like [Stellar](https://threefold.io/blog/thriving_with_stellar/) and Algorand are amazing and offer everything we need to organically grow the [ThreeFold Token](https://forum.threefold.io/t/the-potential-of-the-threefold-token-tft/1796?u=hannahcordes). And yet, we need additional mechanisms for liquidity providing which are designed to support the Internet of Internets. Many AMM DeFi pools are great and a step forward but not sufficient for certain use cases, e.g. DeFi pools usually don’t support bigger exchange trades, as the price would be too affected. Classic order book trading on-chain comes with its own set of limitations as well.
-
-
-
-Along with building community-owned Internets, our ecosystem is reimagining education, business, governance and more for a [fair, inclusive and regenerative future](https://threefold.io/blog/planet_first_people_first/) – opening up a new world of possibilities. And in order to connect such an ecosystem of Internets, a healthy and fair financial system is key.
-
-
-
-The liquidity pools and our P2P DeFi Wallet will work together. They are designed to improve the stability and liquidity of TFT, and will allow us to acquire as many tokens as possible from external sources. Buying back as many TFT as possible will not only lead to the rise and stabilization of the value of TFT – it will also allow us to build a protected treasury that supports our [co-owned future](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/), as the TFT in the pools will be used to provide the community with liquidity as we grow.
-
-
-
-The liquidity pools and the new wallet are key to building our own liquid, peer-to-peer financial system based on Web 4 principles – powering a new economic model and offering a fair, equally accessible and decentralized financial system for the Internet of Internets. Additionally, the liquidity coming from the pools and the wallet will enable us to accelerate the [expansion and Web 4 phases](https://threefold.io/blog/four_phases_of_threefold/) of our journey towards building the future we want to live in.
-
-
-
-The combination of TFT’s [scarcity mechanisms](https://forum.threefold.io/t/the-potential-of-the-threefold-token-tft/1796) with our staking and validator programmes, will lead to an increased scarcity of TFT on the market – which, in turn, will allow the liquidity pools and wallet to sell TFT at a higher value.
-
-## The Future of the TFT Ecosystem
-
-We believe in the organic growth of our token and the Internet of Internets vision. So, building our own sustainable, peer-to-peer DeFi system will mark a new chapter for the ThreeFold movement. And the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/) concept will become a huge stimulator for the TFT economy, as every Regional Internet will have its own self-sustaining liquidity pool, validators, and regional TFTs – with TFT acting as the reserve currency of the entire decentralized system.
-
-
-
-Developing our own DeFi solutions for the Internet of Internets will complement the opportunities of ecosystems like Stellar and Algorand, and enrich the TFT ecosystem. The community-based liquidity pools and P2P wallet are another major step in bringing a fair financial model that will create more opportunities and empower people from all over the world to co-create a [better system for all](https://threefold.io/blog/planet_first_people_first/).
-
-
-
-We are excited for these new solutions which are expected by early next year. [Join the movement](https://t.me/threefold) to stay updated on the TFT ecosystem!

-
-The other day, I came across [a poignant article](https://africa.businessinsider.com/strategy/the-internet-is-destroying-our-brains-but-we-cant-quit-its-a-factory-were-forced-to/z4drxf5) written by [P.E. Moskowitz](https://twitter.com/_pem_pem) entitled "The internet is destroying our brains, but we can't quit. It's a factory we're forced to work in without any pay." As someone who started out in social media advertising (read: trying to capture peoples' attention to get them to buy or do something often by using their data against them), worked in influencer marketing in its early days, and has now gone 180º to help to build a decentralized Internet by people and for people (where people are digitally sovereign), it really resonated with me.
-
-
-It's commonly-discussed (see: The Social Dilemma) and quite obvious if you use or have used the Internet and specifically social media, that we are addicted to being online. In fact, we're actually even chemically triggered by social media and other online experiences. Said Jeff Orlowski, director of The Social Dilemma, "Social media powerhouses like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are “designed” to exploit users’ brain chemistry in order to keep them glued to their phones... They were designed to get us to come back. It’s to figure out how to reverse-engineer what we’re most vulnerable to, most susceptible to, to come back. And what we are seeing is a dopamine response in the brain."
-
-
-In their article, Moskowitz points out how the Internet is not just like a toxic relationship or junk food, where you can leave or stop yourself from eating, rather it's "an all-encompassing technology, our main economic engine, the tool we are forced to use to meet others and mediate our entire lives."
-
-
-The truth is that the Internet *has* become more than an addiction, it's become a necessity to keep up in today's increasingly-digital world. Yet the Internet is not even accessible to about 40% of the global population – and for those who *do* have access, it does not serve us. It's actually the other way around. We are the product.
-
-
-"We produce the memes, tweets, posts, and pictures that keep us tethered to the internet, and then that content is monetized in the form of advertisements - revenue users help produce, but do not usually see a penny of," says Moskowitz. We have become cogs in a machine that uses us for its own benefit. Or as they call it, "a factory we're forced to work in without any pay."
-
-
-"Our entire society has been reformulated around the internet, much like it was centered around the factory during the Industrial Revolution. If there's an Amazon Web Services outage, much of our society stops functioning. Without the internet, we couldn't find jobs, or, at this point, even friends."
-
-## So, what do we do?
-
-Moskowitz is correct in their thinking when they say the following, "A solution to our current internet-use crisis cannot come at an individual level anymore than one person quitting their job would solve capitalism's poor working conditions. If we want any hope of making the internet less stressful, less back-breaking, and more fulfilling, content creators, gig economy workers, and even casual internet users need to push for a systemic solution."
-
-
-Simply pending less time on the Internet or using certain apps instead of others is not going to make much of a difference in the end. There are billions of people on the Internet today to make up for the loss. And the underlying system is still massively flawed and can be manipulated. Bold, widespread, systemic change is indeed what we need. A revolution, perhaps.
-
-
-
-As pointed out recently [in TGDaily](https://tgdaily.com/web/6-dfinity-threefold-are-leading-an-internet-decentralization-revolution/), ThreeFold is that revolution.
-
-
-ThreeFold is the engine for a *new* Internet, driven by a movement of people who care about a better future. With more than two decades of direct knowledge of the Internet and Cloud industries, we flipped today's Internet on its head. We rebuilt the architecture from the ground up, with people and our planet at the center of our focus. Instead of relying on centralized hyper-scale data centers owned by a few private corporations, we provide the opportunity for people across the world with access to a network connection and electricity to plug in hardware and provide local capacity, and earn income while they are at it.
-
-
-In our model, we prioritize simplicity, security, efficiency, and privacy. The technology runs autonomously, removing human error and malicious intent from the equation. Connections are peer-to-peer, meaning no middlemen get in the way of our content, our transactions, or other data. And importantly, people own their data. What we produce is ours. We decide where it gets stored and we decide who can access it (and for what value). In fact, it's basically impossible from a technical standpoint for anybody to access someone's data without their consent – including us.
-
-
-On top of the technology, we provide experiences. People will have one single log-in and verifiable identity, and gain access to the tools (experiences) they need for communication and for work. As we are a decentralized movement, soon, anybody will be able to build anything they like on top of ThreeFold – but it is our vision and belief that the Internet should not be addictive. Rather a tool for all of humanity to connect, learn, and prosper – with people at the center, not treated as products.
-
-
-To the author's concern, content creators and gig economy workers would clearly benefit from such a digital world as well. Of course services like Airbnb or Uber or Etsy or even YouTube provide value as they are crowded marketplaces both for providers and customers. That said, they profit from people, typically on both sides of the transaction. In a peer-to-peer world, we can create fair and equal marketplaces where the content or product is owned completely by the person listing it there and the value goes 100% directly from person to person. This means no hidden fees, no uncertainty over ownership, no censorship or control from a third party. Of course it's not all predetermined at this moment, but what I can say is that our biggest concerns in what we create are and will always be fairness and equality (and sustainability / regeneration). So, together, we will bring all of this tolife in the best interest of people.
-
-## Join the Movement
-
-In their article, Moskowitz concluded that "perhaps it is only a matter of time before enough of us say 'enough,' and protest the internet's totalizing grasp on our labor and our lives." But where does protest lead without a viable solution? Maybe this is the type of systemic change Moskowitz could imagine and could stand behind. It's not a band-aid approach, rather a total re-imagination and re-execution of today's flawed and manipulative Internet. It's an Internet by people, for people. Instead of working in the factory, we become the factory co-owners – and the Internet works for us.

-*A circular economy, to benefit the collective and, as a result, each of us individually.*
-*As believers in a better world who choose to act.*
-
-
-
-The Internet is the backbone for the Web, a global infrastructure that makes our digital experiences possible. It represents a network of billions of interconnected computers and other electronic devices, communicating with each other and carrying all of the online information and services that we use on a daily basis.
-
-
-
-Hyperscale data centers owned and operated by big tech corporations make up the “housing” of the Internet today, where all of our digital information, services, and data reside. While these data centers are mainly located in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, no matter where you live in the world, you rely on them to go about your daily digital life.
-
-
-
-At first glance, you might not see any glaring issues here. After all, the Internet is one of humanity’s greatest achievements, and these data centers have until today made the Internet accessible to billions of people around the world.
-
-
-
-Yet, this also means that for those of us who are connected, we depend on a few large tech corporations to act as the gatekeepers of the Internet. They own 80% of the infrastructure and most of the major online platforms, thus owning and capitalizing on our data and turning us all into products. And today, 3-4 billion people still remain unconnected, as these data centers are extremely expensive to build and difficult to maintain.
-
-
-
-The current Internet paradigm is also highly unsustainable, requiring enormous amounts of energy to connect the digital world. We have no choice but to find more regenerative solutions to provide humanity with the tools and infrastructures needed to solve the world’s greatest challenges.
-
-
-
-So, here we face a paradox. Today’s Internet would not exist in its current form if it were not for the centralized model. Yet, how can we continue down a path that has serious implications for humanity and our planet, while being incapable of scaling with emerging demand? Is there another viable solution?
-
-
-
-It now exists. Welcome to the Internet of Internets.
-
-## It starts locally, and ends globally
-
-*The Internet of Internets is owned by the people.*
-*It interconnects us all, directly, without any intermediaries.*
-*We store our data in full sovereignty and privacy.*
-
-
-
-Until today, people have been relegated to Internet “users,” or “clients” in a client-server model – either way, cogs in a big machine (the Internet) that ultimately benefits the few (big tech). But what if we reversed that model? We believe there should not be just one Internet, owned and operated by the few, rather a network of thousands of interconnected Internets, owned by and benefiting local communities.
-
-
-
-The basis of this new model, community or neighborhood clouds. Essentially acting as a community-owned, decentralized alternative to building data centers, neighborhood clouds provide high-bandwidth capabilities for regional Internets. With high-quality hardware installations and optimized networking infrastructure, neighborhood clouds provide more efficiency and interoperability than any traditional data center setup.
-
-
-
-Local enterprises and developers can now customize and scale their solutions in ways never before possible. And people living in and around these community clouds can utilize the capacity as they wish, all while taking full control of their own data and interconnecting without intermediaries. This allows for a completely decentralized and localized Internet by the people, for the people. The foundation of the Internet of Internets.
-
-
-
-Community clouds in proximity connect directly with each other to form a network, what we call a regional Internet. These regional Internets have their own blockchains and can operate 100% independent from other regional Internets. A regional Internet starts with 99 founding fathers and mothers who deploy blockchain nodes, with integrated support for DeFi. Each regional Internet has its own ThreeFold Token, and differences in farming and cultivation models are possible depending on the decisions of the regional Internet’s DAO. Further, each regional Internet has its own DeFi pool to allow frictionless exchange between TFT and the regional TFT.
-
-
-
-The ThreeFold Hub interconnects the Regional Internets to form the Internet of Internets. Secured by 100 L2 Validators, this is the home of the TFT and the base governance layer for ThreeFold. Here you can see a model which starts locally and scales forever. Each layer has a distinct purpose and allows the ecosystem to interact. And while being hierarchical, it’s still 100% peer-to-peer and decentralized. An Internet of Internets, by the people, for the people – safe, sovereign, and sustainable.
-
-## A world of endless possibilities lives on top
-
-*On top of it, we build valuable experiences, useful experiences.*
-*Not to control. Not to polarize. Not to addict. Not to manipulate.*
-*Rather to connect. To exchange. To share. To provide value for each other.*
-
-
-
-The Internet of Internets empowers people to build their own Internet infrastructure. Along with building community-owned Internets, our ecosystem is reimagining education, business, governance and finance for a fairer, more inclusive and regenerative future. The Internet of Internets is opening up a new world of possibilities, and we’re just getting started.
-
-
-
-The Internet of Internets provides a regenerative, safe and sovereign Internet infrastructure layer. It offers a secure, private, reliable and high-performing Internet experience. Moreover, it will include a set of experiences, solutions and knowledge that enable all people to equally learn, create, exchange, and thrive online.
-
-
-
-With the Internet of Internets, we’re laying the foundation for a world built on abundance, rather than scarcity.
-
-## The foundation for a better (digital) world
-
-*A circular economy, to benefit the collective and, as a result, each of us individually.*
-*As believers in a better world who choose to act.*
-
-
-
-We strongly believe in the ThreeFold Law which states that any good you do will return to you threefold in this lifetime. By making our technology actionable, we energize a collective approach towards a single mission – empowering humanity while regenerating our planet.
-
-
-
-The Internet of Internets provides a much-needed alternative to big tech that can bring the Internet to even the most remote places in the world in an ethical, sustainable and secure way. It starts locally and ends globally.
-
-
-
-The Internet of Internets is based on an equality- and abundance-based paradigm to benefit and provide fair value exchange for the collective and each of us individually. We are driven by a planet-first, people-first philosophy that shapes the future we want to live in. Without our planet, we have nothing. And we believe people need a better system. One they can depend on. One that allows everyone to provide economic flow. One that gives them the opportunity to thrive. One that is able to empower local communities all over the world.
-
-
-
-Together, we’re building our own future through the Internet of Internets – decentralized, open, inclusive, regenerative, and resilient.

----
-
-Earlier this month, I met with Jonas Delrue from Jimber, the team developing P2P solutions like video chat, office workspace, isolated web browser, and messaging, using the Digital Twin platform. Digital Twin is a use case on top of the ThreeFold Grid. We talked about the technical hurdles and motivations for developing private, decentralized, and open source alternatives to popular products from major corporations.
-
-
-*The following has been edited lightly for clarity and flow.*
-
-
-I'm wondering about this video chat solution that we're using for the interview right now. Building reliable video conferencing took a long time for the industry to get right, as far as I understand, and this seems very comparable in performance to Zoom. What did it take to produce this, what challenges came up, and what open source components are you using?
-
-
-*Yes, the solution is fully open source, using Janus as a back end which is a signaling and MTU server that handles all the traffic. But the main reason why we created our own solution is because we want to deploy the solution on the ThreeFold Grid and make a really decentralized video application. So everyone can start their own video room and the data will only be shared between the members of the room, instead of going through Zoom.*
-
-
-*The reasons for this have become very clear in the latest developments at Zoom where they had the lawsuits for end-to-end encryption. So something that our solution will offer is not only end-to-end encryption but also the traffic won't go through central points – so there's no way for us to eavesdrop on any of the conversations as a company since we're not included in the process. So that's the main reason that we created this one.*
-
-
-Very cool. I know for Zoom free accounts, all traffic is routed through servers in the United States which also has performance implications for anyone in other parts of the world. You have this big transatlantic hop back and forth for people talking to each other in different parts of Europe, for example, which could create lag or dropouts. And of course, the privacy feature is super important, because if we're using Zoom or any other centralized service it's a black box. They say your connections are end-to-end encrypted, but there's no way to verify that without open source code and self hosting.
-
-
-*Yep, so what we offer is fully open source, and using the Digital Twin platform you'll be able to start your own solutions, so it's fully in your own hands.*
-
-
-Do you know what kind of resources are required to run the video chat server?
-
-
-*The CPU and memory usage on the server is very low, but bit rate depends on how good your connection is and how high quality you want to use. Right now we have some default quality but we will be able to make that configurable, so you'll be able to choose how much data that you want to consume during your conversation, which will of course imply a better or a worse resolution and experience.*
-
-
-Totally. I've heard that we should be able to host many Digital Twins on a single node. I'm curious of your thoughts on that. How many Digital Twins do you think we could run on a single Titan node or server in a rack?
-
-
-*That's a hard one. I'd have to check for real numbers on the current implementation, but the thing is that there's not really a hard limit, as long as you keep improving your software and making it more efficient, making it more suitable to the scaling case. Right now in centralized systems this mostly is not a concern, but if you make it more suitable to self hosting and the digital twin scenario, then we should be able to get really far on that.*
-
-
-*It's going to take some effort and time to improve it and to make it better so the usage goes down, while the hardware also gets better so it's two ways. I think in the long run we should be able to host really lots and lots of Digital Twins on one single node. It also depends on what you're doing on the Digital Twins, if everyone is doing video conversations it will of course have more consumption than if everyone is just chatting in text.*
-
-
-There's a good number of features here in video chat already like the background replace and some others I was impressed to see already during my testing. Of course Zoom has many more features like hosting these large conferences, breakout groups, allowing people to raise their hand digitally. I'm wondering what features are on the road map for this solution and what should we expect to see coming next?
-
-
-*Raising hands is one of the things that we're developing now, but we're mostly doing improvements at the back end so we can get a more efficient solution and a solution that is better suited to the decentralized way of working. Now, we don't have the size of team that Zoom has of course at this point, so we're a bit slower in releasing new features. We do have a list of things that we want to implement in the near future. Things like waiting rooms and all the stuff that you came up with, they're on the road map but not for the very short term since right now we're really focusing on getting this thing working in a decentralized way on the Grid.*
-
-
-That makes sense. And what is the status of that? Are we using the Grid right now, or is this a staging server?
-
-
-*This is a production server of Jimber. We use this one to talk to our employees, so for internal calls, and we're also using it to talk to clients. We've been using it for over six months without any problems so it's really production ready, but this version is not running on the Grid right now. We do have deployments on the Grid that work perfectly.*
-
-
-Good to know. Is that something that someone with the proper amount of knowledge and motivation could test for themselves already, running the solution on the Grid?
-
-
-*Yeah, they should be able to. It might be that they still need a little bit of help from the technical team, but it should be doable, yes.*
-
-
-Cool, I'll put that on my list of things to try out. So that's video chat. Do you see any challenges arising from quirks of the Grid in implementing any features or scaling things up to a certain level. Is there anything that's tricky about moving something like this onto the Grid?
-
-
-*It's more about the Digital Twin than the meeting solution itself. Right now we're really working on getting the Digital Twin able to launch for a single person, so we're checking out how we'll do the deployments, the payment flow, things like that.*
-
-
-*So for us, that's the challenge right now, but in the long run it's probably going to be scaling, being sure that the Digital Twin runs close enough to the person actually using it, being sure that the interaction between Digital Twins is really fast and with low latency. Things like that will of course be a huge challenge, and also keeping everything private, making sure that everything is secure is also a bit challenging.*
-
-
-*Another big challenge is that users are not used to a decentralized environment. So if you lose your seed phrase or in some way destroy your own Digital Twin, it's decentralized so we can't access it. There isn't a company that can just look into the big system and fix it for you. You are a bit responsible for your own system so that's also a bit of a challenge. So to get users informed and make software that's really easy for them, where they can't mess things up, and where users can give us enough logs when something goes wrong to help them in a decentralized way.*
-
-
-For sure, I know that's a big concern around our VDC solution as well. You onboard someone into the system and they need to take responsibility for their own data and deployments. I think that's a huge issue across this space right, you want to give people the power but they also need to be able to take the responsibility. We'll see how that goes, as users start to come onboard and what kinds of challenges they run into.
-
-
-*Yeah, that's going to be the fun part, once users really start onboarding and start using everything. It's mostly a stressful situation at first if you launch a new product, but we're going to be starting off with a beta version so we don't get too much ahead of ourselves. Using the beta period to really get the software to be at the point where we need it for production will probably be the best step, to take the stress a bit off the team, and in the next version we can go full fledged production with a really nice product.*
-
-
-How soon do you think we'll be ready to invite some members of the community to start testing?
-
-
-*We want to have a version ready for September, so that's what we're looking at.*
-
-
-Great. Let's shift gears and talk about the file browser and office solution, which I've also tested. It's very cool. You're able to preview images and videos, edit documents, and more. I understand it's at least two open source components, you have the file browser and OnlyOffice working together.
-
-
-*So the file browser is totally made by us, it's fully new. We use OnlyOffice as a document service to edit the documents, and right now you can already share documents with other people and collaborate on documents. We're building a kind of online office alternative that is owned by you and where your files are safe from companies trying to get data from it to give you specific advertisements and that sort of thing.*
-
-
-Okay, I didn't realize that the file browser piece had been built in house.
-
-
-*It's still very basic. It doesn't have all the features of the big ones yet. It has the basic functionality—you can upload files, make folders, put the files in the folders, open files, collaborate, save them, share with people, all of those things are available, so it's pretty usable. This has been launched in a staging version right now, so it's not available to the full public yet but it should be available in September when we launch the first Digital Twin version.*
-
-
-I've tested it, and it works really well. I'm curious again—obviously building something like this isn't a small task. Building an alternative to products from massive corporations with huge budgets and teams. So for your team, what are the challenges and how did you make this work?
-
-
-*Of course using open source components like OnlyOffice is a big difference. It'd be hard to make all of the documents services ourselves—that would be really insane. So using open source components is a big key factor in this, but a second thing is that our team has been building and trying out stuff like this for a few years so we do have some experience in building these kinds of tools.*
-
-
-So in Digital Twin we also have the chat solution. Is there anything about chat that's cool or unique?
-
-
-*We're looking at the big modern chat applications for our ideas there, as well as adding some new stuff in it. For the most part you have all the features that you need. You can send text messages and audio streams. You can send GIFs, which is of course the most important feature in any chat application. Then there's, block users, delete users, add users to make group conversations, share files with the whole group, all the things like that.*
-
-
-Does that mean that we should be able to switch from Telegram sometime in the near future?
-
-
-*I hope so yeah, it would be really cool when we can do that. The biggest difference of course is the underlying decentralized architecture.*
-
-
-So finally, to wrap up, maybe you could talk a bit about how privacy and security is handled? We have end-to-end encryption, we have self hosting of data. What does that look like and how is it built?
-
-
-*In terms of the platform itself, that's something that the ThreeFold core team is more working on, so I know the principles and know how it works but I can't give you real technical details. As for what we build, the biggest tool that we use right now for end-to-end encryption is Yggdrasil or the Planetary Network, as we refer to it in ThreeFold. So that's a technology where multiple computers form one grid and they can exchange messages with each other which are fully end-to-end encrypted, using the standard TCP stack of those nodes. In that way we can communicate between Digital Twins in a very easy way, using standard technology, but just changing the underlying network architecture.*
-
-
-Totally, I know a bit about Yggdrasil. I haven't had a chance to test it myself, but it's super exciting technology, right? It allows anyone behind a firewall to still have a public address where they can still be reachable on IPv6 and everything is encrypted.
-
-
-*And as soon as you're connected to one node, you're connected to every one of them, because they all forward the packets, all end to end encrypted. So it's a really cool technology.*
-
-
-Absolutely, and it's great to be able to build on this kind of stuff. Like you're saying, the open source components give us a big head start in trying to build these alternatives.
-
-
-*Indeed.*
-
-
-Is there anything else you'd like to say about what you all have been building over there?
-
-
-*The whole ride has been really cool, we're kind of working on a few things at once, and ThreeFold is one of the components of it. For us it's a very exciting project, it's very technical and building something entirely new that doesn't exist yet using all these open source components. So for the team it's a very cool challenge, we really like to work on it, and it drives the team to create something really cool. It's a great opportunity.*
-
-
-I love that, and it's a big reason I'm excited to be involved with ThreeFold as well: building something that's totally new, going from 0 to 1, and then inviting the world to come check it out and enjoy all the benefits.
-
-
-Oh yeah, I forgot to ask about the web browser. I understand that Jimber has been building this for a while and I've seen some things about this on your website. So the web browser solution essentially renders the webpage on the back end and just shows the user an image of it?
-
-
-*Yeah, it caches the page on the back end and forwards the data to the client where it's rendered. So the code of the website itself doesn't reach you, and that's a solution that we use for multiple things. One is to protect APIs from getting attacked by users, what we call web application isolation. The second use case is where we have an office environment where people browse the internet and they use our solution to kind of make a gap between the computer in the company and the internet itself. But they can still browse the web and use all their favorite tools without having the risk of getting viruses and things like that.*
-
-
-I didn't realize that there's benefit on the server end as well. So by requiring users to interact with a web service through the browser solution, that provides isolation for the app as well?
-
-
-*If users are going to the service they are going through our browser, which will fetch the service for you and just give you a state of how it looks so that way we can really protect the back end of the applications from multiple attacks.*
-
-
-And does this effectively provide a VPN for users as well?
-
-
-*It's kind of the same thing, yes.*
-
-
-That's super exciting. Something that folks ask me about when they learn about ThreeFold is hosting VPNs on the Grid as a way to get the benefits of VPN in a decentralized way.
-
-
-*Yggdrasil is a bit closer to a VPN than our browser itself, but they pretty much help each other out. The browser in the ThreeFold network is used to protect the Digital Twin itself, to make it very secure and private for you, but the browser can also be used to browse websites from any country in the world without restrictions. So it can be used in that way too, which is kind of similar to how people at home use VPNs.*
-
-
-That's good to know. Well, I really like the bigger picture here of an internet experience that's end-to-end encrypted, where all of your data is under your control, and you have the anonymity and privacy that a VPN would provide. It's very exciting stuff, and I'm looking forward to sharing about it with our larger community.

-
-The ThreeFold Token is the currency of the new Internet. It is a decentralized digital currency that represents a unit of reservation of capacity (compute, storage) on the largest peer-to-peer network of capacity on earth.
-
-
-Capacity is a new high-demand market, and the TFT will be the medium of exchange for this commodity on the peer-to-peer internet brought by ThreeFold. TFT synergistically connects the world of cloud and blockchain markets to the most scalable universal substrate without compromising, performance, security and privacy.
-
-## How are ThreeFold Tokens created?
-
-No ThreeFold Tokens have ever been minted. ThreeFold Tokens are generated through a process called “Farming”. Farming happens when active internet capacity is added to the ThreeFold Grid. Independent farmers earn ThreeFold Tokens (TFT) by providing neutral and decentralized internet capacity, thus expending the usable Grid. Therefore no central entity controls the internet.
-
-## 5 good reasons to buy ThreeFold Tokens
-
-1. TFTs are exclusively generated when new capacity is added to the TF Grid. There are no centralized issuers. Tokens have not been created out of thin air.
-2. While the ThreeFold Grid can expand, a maximum of 4 Billion TFTs can ever be in circulation. This limit ensures stability of value and incentivization for all stakeholders.
-3. TFT lives on the Stellar Blockchain. TFT holders benefit from a big ecosystem of proven wallets and mediums of exchange.
-4. By employing Stellar technology, TFT transactions and smart contracts are powered by one of the most energy-efficient blockchains available. Furthermore, TFT is the medium of exchange on the greenest internet network in the world.
-5. The market for farming, cultivating and trading TFT is open to all. Anyone with internet connection, power supply and necessary hardware can become a Farmer or trade ThreeFold tokens (TFT).
-6. By buying, holding, and utilizing ThreeFold Tokens, you are actively supporting the expansion of the ThreeFold Grid and its use cases — creating a more sustainable, fair, and equally accessible Internet.
-
-
-
-*To learn more about the token, please dive into [our wiki](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/token).*
-
-
-
-*Important note: TFTs are not an investment instrument. It is the medium of exchange on the ThreeFold Grid, and is a mechanism to enable the Internet we believe is possible.*

-
-Yes, that's right. With ThreeFold, you *can* become the Internet! Let me quickly explain.
-
-
-Today's Internet is powered by hyper-scale data centers which are owned by large corporations. With +80% of the global infrastructure and +60% of the global Internet networks owned by a bunch of companies, the Internet became a real business with us humans being the products of that business model.
-
-
-ThreeFold creates an entirely new Internet economy that is owned by all of us and makes the traditional cloud model of building data centers obsolete. With ThreeFold, independent people called "Farmers" plug in 3Nodes (hardware) from their homes or offices anywhere around the world. And they earn income for it.
-
-
-Together, they power a new, data-sovereign, and planet-positive Internet owned and powered by the people. This is a game-changer.
-
-## So, how do I get a 3Node?
-
-You can buy one of the ready-made nodes from cooperatives around the world. This is a good and very easy way to support the ThreeFold project and to "BE THE INTERNET."
-
-
-Today you can buy a 3Node via our website. We are also working with our farming cooperatives to decentralize the provisioning and distribution of hardware to a glocal approach (a global network of local networks).
-
-
-But what if 3Nodes are not immediately available? For example, last week we had a huge influx of orders for our Titan V2 3Nodes and sold out the entire batch with 3,000 extra orders. We're now talking with many hardware distributors to make sure we can satsify all these orders, but this could take a while.
-
-
-So if you are a little bit more adventurous, and want to build your 3Node from the ground up, yourself, here's how to do it:
-
-
-To "become the Internet" is fairly simple (but does take some technical knowledge and effort). Here's what you'll need:
-
-
-
-- A computer with an INTEL or AMD brain, some memory, and some storage cabilities.
-- A smartphone on which you can download and run the "ThreeFold Connect" app. This will provide you with a wallet (to receive your farmed TFT and to pay a very small amount of TFT to get started).
-- A laptop / desktop (and USB stick) to launch your online 3Bot, configure your farm, download your bootloader and burn the bootloader to a USB stick.
-- Some technical knowledge, interest and 45 minutes of time.
-
-
-
-If you are still here and reading, we're good to go! I go through the whole process in a 3-minute video which will give you a quick overview of how to set up your farm. (Click through to the video on YouTube and find helpful links in the description.)

-## The world needs a new stable & green digital currency, which is usable globally
-
-Digital currencies are on the way to global adoption. Today, there are approximately 130+ billion dollars worth of digital currencies in circulation and approximately 1 billion dollars traded on a daily basis on open market exchanges. Benefits of digital currencies include direct peer-to-peer transactions (requiring no intermediaries such as banks), greater trust (secured by cryptography and mathematics), lower friction charges, faster transaction times, and no single point of failure.
-
-
-However, cryptocurrencies commonly face some major problems, such as:
-
-
-- **Lack of scalability**: The main blockchains today are based on “proof of work” - generating very large and complex prime numbers called “hashes” to record ledger transactions. These proof of work blockchains cannot scale to meet the increasing blockchain transaction volumes. In fact, Ethereum, one of the most popular and well known blockchains has announced it will change from “proof of work” to “proof of stake.”
-- **Crazy energy requirements**: Computing complex proof of work hashes requires enormous amounts of processing power. Actually, a large portion of today’s hashrate is produced by very large dedicated billion dollar data centers called miners. It is estimated that the energy consumed by digital currency mining is approximately equivalent to the power consumption of the entire country of Denmark.
-- **Certain perceived reputational issues**: Numerous commentators - particularly in the early years of bitcoin - speculated that unregulated digital currencies could be used to fund illicit activities.
-- **A general absence of intrinsic value**: The major digital currencies today are not backed by real assets - therefore their value is more surrounded by hype.
-- **Limited utility**: Today digital currencies are predominantly held by miners and investors. There is very limited use of digital currencies to buy goods and services.
-
-
-These are some of the problems we see with cryptocurrencies. The world needs a new stable and green digital currency, which is usable globally. Enter ThreeFold Token.

-
-It’s January 2022. ThreeFold co-founder Adnan Fatayerji sits in the office of Shaher Mousli, CEO of Paradise Hills Development, along with Suhaib Sheikh, COO of the project. Shaher and Adnan are long-time friends and in fact Shaher gave Adnan his first internship in Dubai about two decades ago, while Adnan was in his final year at university.
-
-
-
-Shaher is well-known in the Dubai real-estate market, for his open-heartedness and transparency, and has a history of always looking for ways to stand out and differentiate himself and his projects. Paradise Hills in itself came from the idea of creating a “paradise” themed model for residents that could even serve as a tropical resting place for birds in Dubai.
-
-## The “aha” moment
-
-For the past twenty years, Adnan and Shaher have maintained a strong relationship, and on this day, they are gathering to find a way to work together – to bring things full circle. They discuss how the real estate market is making a strong comeback, and various types of value propositions for future Paradise Hills residents, when the incredible “aha” moment drops. Instead of a standard one-time gift or fee write-off, why don't we add a 3Node to each residence? A gift that keeps on giving! The room is filled with excitement. They realize that a new dawn in the property and homeownership market is born, combining the unified empowerment of digital and physical assets.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Together, ThreeFold and Paradise Hills will collaborate on a [historic partnership](https://threefold.io/news/post/paradise_hills/) to create the world’s first neighborhood cloud network, living on top of the ThreeFold Grid. Dedicated servers called 3Nodes will be installed into 170 homes, providing the edge computing and Internet storage needed to run decentralized applications and Internet services. This will give residents, businesses, developers, and the government a secure and highly-available sovereign cloud infrastructure to store and process their data locally. And homeowners will be rewarded in the form of ThreeFold Tokens (TFT) simply by having these 3Nodes connected.
-
-## No time to waste
-
-Quickly the team puts the idea to paper, and by February the deal is done. In March, the collaboration is announced and makes the rounds in publications like [Yahoo! Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/paradise-hills-property-development-threefold-090000146.html) and on plenty of regional properties. Adnan even begins training the Paradise Hills sales team on how to present the opportunity to potential residents. The speed of the collaboration is proof of a collective commitment to take this leap of faith, and a high-level of trust in each other and the possibilities. Another big reason for confidence: once the modeling was done, it was clear that this could be a massive financial opportunity for residents, one which could even pay off the cost of the house in a relatively short number of years.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-The ThreeFold [3Node](https://threefold.io/farm) will be a standard “appliance” in each Paradise Hills residence, much like a refrigerator or an oven. But this appliance is anything but “standard” – it provides and connects decentralized Internet capacity owned by the Paradise Hills community, and comes with an onboarding guide to welcome each resident into the much larger ThreeFold community.
-
-
-
-Further, Paradise Hills is adamant about building tools on top of the ThreeFold Grid – digital storefronts for local businesses, peer-to-peer marketplaces and forums or chats for the residents, and whatever else is deemed to be needed. The collaboration with ThreeFold essentially turns Paradise Hills into a sovereign “smart” community, where even the footage from the security cameras on premise can be stored locally and privately.
-
-## The community comes together
-
-Flash forward to a few weeks ago, the early Paradise Hills community gathers together for a gala. ThreeFold co-founder and tech guru Weynand Kuijpers has the chance to speak in front of the group. He speaks about the early days of the Internet, how it was hijacked by Big Tech turning people into products, and how now there is a new model for the Internet by people, for people. “You are some of the first to do this,” he says to the crowd.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Afterwards, residents come up and express their excitement, even if they don’t quite understand all the details. One woman in particular asks, “Can you please explain to me how having this device in my home won’t impact my privacy or security?” Adnan goes on to describe how the 3Node is actually there to preserve privacy and security. “A 3Node is just like a solar panel, only instead of electricity, it provides Internet capacity for local usage. In fact, any data that’s in your home is just a fragment of a piece of a puzzle, so it’s inaccessible to you or anyone else for that matter.” Overall, there is a clear feeling that contributing to this new Internet Grid will bring a unifying force to the community, and a deeper sense of meaning for what it means to be a resident of Paradise Hills.
-
-## Bringing Paradise to the world
-
-Paradise Hills is a first of its kind partnership, but it is only the first. We at ThreeFold see incredible opportunities to scale this model across the world, and not only in real estate developments. Imagine if we apply this to lower-income and affordable housing communities, or colleges and universities. Hardware gifted to residents that connect together to form a localized part of a truly sovereign Internet Grid, on top of which useful community tools can be built – all while generating passive token rewards for the residents. A ground-up model. A global concept, applied locally.
-
-
-
-If the Paradise Hills story inspires you, and you have an idea for how to bring this model elsewhere, we invite you to take action. Head to the ThreeFold Forum, create a topic under the [Paradise Hills Model](https://forum.threefold.io/t/about-the-paradise-hills-model-category/2632) category, and let’s spread this to the world.

-
-*"This article was originally published by Hannah Cordes, a former member of ThreeFold Foundation."*
-
-
-
-*‘Being sustainable’ has become a buzzword – a claim to boost our image rather than an honest endeavour. It is hard to trust people and brands today when we fear to fall into the trap of greenwashing. However, we have no choice but to change our collective behaviour, consumption patterns and business practices if we want to combat climate change and the collapse of biodiversity.*
-
-
-
-Last November, [COP26](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-03431-4) shed light on how indecisive our global institutions and governments are in the face of an unprecedented climate crisis. We now have to come to terms with the fact that carbon neutrality is no longer enough. Rising carbon emissions have been linked to an increasing amount of heat waves, droughts, floods and hurricanes globally. It is our collective responsibility to reverse the unintended consequences of our actions.
-
-
-
-Did you know that warnings about the risks and harms of excessive carbon emissions date back as far as the 1960s to [a report](https://www.climatefiles.com/climate-change-evidence/presidents-report-atmospher-carbon-dioxide/) by former US President Johnson’s Science Advisory Committee? We’ve clearly been inactive and ignorant for far too long. There’s always another crisis, another challenge to tackle. But we cannot afford to ignore climate change and biodiversity loss any longer.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-We need to tackle the climate crisis with the same urgency, force and determination we do with other crises. And we finally need to face the reality and severity of the climate crisis! After all, Greta Thunberg is right: “Nature does not bargain and you cannot compromise with the laws of physics.”
-
-
-
-The time has come for us to put our planet first. It is our duty to regenerate our planet and to support the right practices and organizations aligned with our vision of tomorrow. Now’s the time for regenerative action.
-
-## How to save our planet
-
-*“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” – Robert Swan*
-
-
-
-By taking action and making the right choices for our planet and humanity, we can prevent the truly [severe levels of global warming](https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/12/23/1042973/climate-change-action-progress-clean-energy/) and restore the health of our planet. Once emitted, carbon dioxide can persist in the atmosphere for several hundreds, possibly thousands, of years. So, it all starts with reducing global emissions to the lowest level possible. In addition to that, we’ll need to compensate for those emissions that cannot be avoided as well as for all of the carbon and other greenhouse gases we’ve emitted in the past.
-
-
-
-As most technological solutions for carbon removal remain expensive and early stage, nature-based solutions are the way forward. And trees, as the world’s largest plants, are an effective way to store carbon.
-
-
-
-So, what are we doing at ThreeFold? How are we contributing to restoring the health of our planet? How are we taking climate action?
-
-## Our commitment
-
-We believe our planet needs regenerative solutions at a large scale. Our motto is: planet first, people second, profit as a result. Without a healthy planet, humanity can’t survive and no economy can exist.
-
-
-
-While the [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__tfgrid_home) is already much more [energy efficient](https://threefold.io/blog/for_our_planet/) than the traditional Internet, there will always be energy consumption and emissions that cannot be avoided – and thus have to be compensated for. We’re not just going for the carbon neutrality of the ThreeFold Grid but for carbon negativity (or as we prefer to call it, planet positivity), i.e. offsetting its emissions three times through planting and protecting trees.
-
-
-
-And we decided to empower our community to take part in our regeneration efforts in a low-threshold way. ThreeFold Farmers will automatically compensate for their 3Nodes’ carbon footprint three times, and everybody will be able to use the ThreeFold Grid’s regenerative Internet capacity while simultaneously supporting impact initiatives.
-
-
-
-As we shared in our Planet-Positive Farming Series, we’re setting the plan for a planet-positive Internet by implementing a [Voluntary Carbon Credits](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-on-track-to-be-planet-positive/2097?u=hannahcordes) (VCC) system and supporting [planet-positive initiatives](https://forum.threefold.io/t/supporting-initiatives-to-regenerate-the-planet/2110?u=hannahcordes) with our trusted partners from [Take Action Global](https://forum.threefold.io/t/driving-regeneration-with-tag/2120?u=hannahcordes) (TAG).
-
-## Driving regeneration with Take Action Global
-
-We’re aiming to realize the initial promise of the Internet while also regenerating the planet. Our decentralized Internet infrastructure is already highly [energy efficient](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_energy_consumption/) – we’re using about 10 times less energy than any comparable alternative. In December 2021, we [announced](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/threefold-and-take-action-global-partner-to-bring-internet-access-to-1-billion-people-across-the-globe-301446693.html) our commitment to achieve a [carbon double win](https://forum.threefold.io/c/ecosystem-developments/sustainability/90) for the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-
-Together with [TAG](https://threefold.io/partners/take_action_global/) – experts on climate action and education who were [acknowledged](https://twitter.com/threefold_io/status/1493980240275812352?s=20&t=uW8aclYr82-xqQkEsCeGWw) for their incredible work by the Anthem Awards – we kicked off a pilot program for tree planting. After measuring the carbon footprint of the Grid and individual [3Nodes](https://threefold.io/farm), we knew what it would take to go beyond climate neutrality and fulfill our planet-positive commitment.
-
-
-
-With our tree planting initiatives in Sierra Leone, Malawi and Cambodia, we’re planting enough trees in 2022 to lay the foundation for achieving and sustaining a carbon double win for our Internet infrastructure. Already, students and teachers in the three countries have planted more than 5,300 trees. Find out more about the pilot program [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/driving-regeneration-with-tag/2120?u=hannahcordes) and head to the [EarthProject](https://earthproject.org/treeplanting) page for the tree-planting details and how you yourself can get involved.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Once we’ve laid the foundation for the ThreeFold Grid’s carbon double win, we will continue to produce Voluntary Carbon Credits to finance further impact initiatives, such as fostering climate education and renewable energy grid developments to enhance the life of communities.
-
-## A regenerative Internet for the planet and the people
-
-We all need to take responsibility and to pull our own weight. But we’re in this together. And together, this will happen. After kicking off our [pilot program](https://forum.threefold.io/t/driving-regeneration-with-tag/2120?u=hannahcordes) a month ahead of schedule, we’re well set to achieve the carbon double win for the ThreeFold Grid – driving the regeneration of our planet.
-
-
-
-We are pioneering the creation of an [energy-efficient](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_energy_consumption/) and regenerative Internet built and owned by the people. The ThreeFold ecosystem consists of like-minded individuals and partners that share our values and support us in our mission. United in our shared beliefs in open source, peer-to-peer, equality and inclusion, we come together to build a better Internet. And we’re being acknowledged for our work – we’re [nominated](https://evenements.optionfinance.fr/les-debats-finance-impact-rse/content/candidats-sia) for the Sustainable Investment in Action [Awards](https://sustainableinvestmentinaction.com/awards-conferences-2022/) in the category “Basic Needs”.
-
-
-
-We’re making it easy for everyone to join us – all you have to do is connect a [3Node](https://threefold.io/farm) to the ThreeFold Grid and you’ll effortlessly regenerate the earth through providing Internet capacity – a process we call ‘farming’ because it’s a greener, purposeful [alternative](https://threefold.io/blog/farming_a_greener_alternative_to_crypto_mining/) to crypto mining.
-
-
-
-Are you ready to [join us](https://t.me/threefold) in our mission?

-Whether you’re new to ThreeFold or have been around for a while, the decentralization and blockchain space can often be quite elusive and opaque with regards to what certain projects have to offer. Very clear, however, is the current market cap for aggregated decentralized compute and storage projects which exceeds 50 billion USD. Therefore, we decided to shed some light on the space and to show you how our solutions compare to those of other projects.
-
-
-
-This post is the first one in a series to explore fellow projects and their solutions with regards to what they share with ThreeFold but also where we differ. Follow me on my journey through the decentralization and blockchain space to get a better understanding of where we are within the space. First up: [Dfinity](https://forum.threefold.io/t/a-journey-through-the-decentralization-and-blockchain-space-part-one-dfinity/1316)!
-
-## The DFINITY Foundation & how it compares to ThreeFold
-
-The [DFINITY Foundation](https://dfinity.org/foundation) is a not-for-profit organization, founded in October 2016 by Dominic Williams and headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland. With a team of more than 200 people, Dfinity is developing the technology for the Internet Computer blockchain. It seeks to free the Internet from big tech and monopolization and return to the Internet’s open roots by offering a public blockchain on which systems and dApps can be rebuilt in a secure and scalable way.
-
-
-
-As the term “rebuild” already indicates, Dfinity’s own SDK has to be used to build on their platform, whereas ThreeFold is highly compatible with industry standards tools and protocols (e.g. Linux-based workloads, S3, Docker containers, Kubernetes). This allows for existing applications to be easily migrated onto the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/grid), while also offering unparalleled levels of [security](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__usp_secure?id=network-security), privacy and decentralization. Moreover, Dfinity’s architecture is blockchain-based and offers a platform for dApps, while ThreeFold is based on its own operating system, [Zero-OS](https://threefold.io/tech/zero-os), and is a platform for P2P network, storage and compute. The ThreeFold Grid uses a blockchain internally only where it is truly needed while also offering the missing capacity layer which enables every blockchain to become [truly decentralized](https://threefold.io/blog/decentralize_blockchain/).
-
-
-
-Another difference is that Dfinity is more about creating an ecosystem of independent data centers, whereas ThreeFold turns the [data center model](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_cloud_vs_centralized_providers_like_aws_azure/) upside down by enabling anyone to become a [node](https://shop.threefold.tech/index.php?route=common/home) of the system. Even non-technical people can [join the network](https://threefold.io/farm) with plug-and-play offerings through ThreeFold’s certified hardware partners. The ThreeFold Grid is therefore [more inclusive](https://www.threefold.io/blog/post/tf_grid_peoples_internet/) and allows individuals to participate as well, which enables ThreeFold to scale an unlimited number of nodes, whereas Dfinity currently uses a limited set of existing data centers. The question remains of whether they will incentivise an easier way into their system. ThreeFold’s model is not only infinitely scalable but also can act as the ideal substrate for edge computing which is difficult for Dfinity to achieve with its more centralized structure. Also, Threefold’s self-driving and self-healing [technology](https://threefold.io/tech) is unique in the space and removes the pain of having to monitor and maintain the nodes.
-
-
-
-Furthermore, ThreeFold’s Zero-OS was created from scratch and its low-level design allows it to achieve unparalleled levels of [security](https://forum.threefold.io/t/security-privacy-on-the-threefold-grid-and-second-best-alternatives-out-there-today/1290) and decentralization. With VMs, Kubernetes, a next-generation container environment, and the [Quantum Safe File System](https://threefold.io/tech/zdbfs), ThreeFold’s offering is much more comprehensive than Dfinity’s canister offering. A potential collaboration, however, could be beneficial for Dfinity. By hosting their offerings on the ThreeFold Grid, Dfinity could benefit from ThreeFold’s fully decentralized and autonomous infrastructure.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Both, Dfinity and ThreeFold, share the same ambition to [revolutionize the Internet](https://tgdaily.com/web/6-dfinity-threefold-are-leading-an-internet-decentralization-revolution/). While both provide a platform for dApps to be built upon, ThreeFold has a much more comprehensive and compatible stack. Therefore, Dfinity could benefit from moving to the ThreeFold Grid as an underlying [infrastructure](https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2020/06/20/largest-distributed-peer-to-peer-grid-on-the-planet-laying-foundation-for-a-decentralized-internet/), rather than depending on their more centralized data center structure. In addition to that, their data center operators could also choose to [become farmers](https://threefold.io/farm) on the ThreeFold Grid, while continuing to host Dfinity – without having to worry about system administration and maintenance as ThreeFold’s technology is fully self-healing. In that way they could finally run on a fully decentralized, [energy-efficient](https://new.threefold.io/blog/post/for_our_planet/), and self-healing infrastructure – and as Dfinity [stated](https://dfinity.org/foundation), they’re “committed to connecting those who believe the same”, so we hope to find the spirit of decentralization and collaboration in our future engagements.

-As announced in [the first episode of this series](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_1_dfinity/), I’d like to shed some light on the complex decentralization and blockchain space and look into what fellow projects have to offer. There are various projects decentralizing parts of the internet. So in this second blog post, we’ll be exploring Akash and their solutions to find out what we have in common and where we differ. Follow me on the second step of my journey to better understand the space we operate in and how ThreeFold stands out.
-
-## Akash & how the project compares to ThreeFold
-
-Founded in 2015, [Akash](https://akash.network) is an open-source and blockchain-based cloud computing platform. They [strive](https://akash.network/about#vision) for an open, permissionless, and sovereign cloud that allows anyone to reserve computing resources without any intermediaries. Their cloud platform provides a simple way for deploying and scaling cloud applications.
-
-
-
-The Akash Network is a decentralized, on-chain marketplace for leasing cloud computing resources, while the Akash Container Platform is an off-chain platform for cloud management services (deployment, hosting, and management of workloads) on Kubernetes, the industry standard for container orchestration. We also integrated Kubernetes into our [P2P Cloud](https://threefold.io/info/cloud#/cloud__cloud_intro) solution, but we didn’t stop there. On ThreeFold’s cloud solution, developers additionally have the option to deploy virtual machines or to discover the future of cloud computing with [ZFlist](https://threefold.io/tech/zflist) – a game-changing Docker-compatible solution that is distributed across many mini VMs, positioning itself as the ideal infrastructure for edge workloads. And all data produced by these workloads can be stored in our [Quantum Safe File System](https://threefold.io/tech/zdbfs) solution that is highly compatible with most storage tools (e.g. S3) and protocols (e.g. IPFS).
-
-
-
-With Akash, developers would get access to what is probably the best decentralized computing cloud on the market, whereas ThreeFold offers a full stack cloud infrastructure that unites compute, storage, and network. Having integrated all leading industry-standard tools, ThreeFold’s [cloud solution](https://cloud.threefold.io/) allows for a seamless migration of any digital workload – even from centralized cloud providers like [AWS or Microsoft Azure](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_cloud_vs_centralized_providers_like_aws_azure/). This empowers developers from all over the world to deploy their applications and workloads on a fully decentralized infrastructure, without having to learn new tools. Developers using Akash, however, may still need to rely on other decentralized projects to decentralize the storage and network components of their solutions.
-
-
-
-Akash sees their [USP](https://docs.akash.network) in hosting containers that allow any type of cloud-native application to be hosted without vendor lock-in or having to learn new protocols, a vision shared and extended by ThreeFold as the project is already compatible with most of the industry standards. With the integration of [Terraform](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-grid-3-0-supports-terraform/1184) into the upcoming third release of the [ThreeFold Grid](https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2020/06/20/largest-distributed-peer-to-peer-grid-on-the-planet-laying-foundation-for-a-decentralized-internet/), developers will be capable of hosting any existing or future Linux workload seamlessly.
-
-## Network and development possibilities
-
-Akash is one of the most robust decentralized compute solutions out there and is one of the key players in driving the DeCloud movement. On its platform, computing resources can be leased on the Akash Marketplace, driven by its blockchain based on the [Cosmos SDK](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk). It’s already being used by a range of blockchains and applications. On their marketplace, users can determine the terms and price for their deployments and have cloud providers bid for the opportunity in a reversed auction. Nevertheless, the project still relies on centralized data centers as they seek to prevent unutilized capacity [from centralized cloud computing services](https://blog.orchid.com/akash-networks-greg-osuri-on-decentralizing-cloud-computing/) to go to waste, leveraging about 85% of this underutilized cloud capacity from data centers. So, while Akash is preventing capacity from being wasted, they also highly depend on centralized capacity – and so do the workloads using their platform.
-
-
-
-With ThreeFold, developers are enabled to tailor the terms for storing their workloads to fit their needs, benefiting from full decentralization and edge possibilities. Moreover, developers get access to the most distributed peer-to-peer infrastructure in the world – the ThreeFold, currently present in [more than 50 countries](https://explorer.grid.tf). Another unique attribute of the ThreeFold Grid is that the capacity within the network is provided by many people and organizations, forming an infrastructure that can be described as the “[People’s Internet](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_grid_peoples_internet/).” It is the first full-stack blockchain-enabled cloud to be made open source, allowing anyone to connect cloud capacity to the network by downloading [Zero-OS](https://threefold.io/tech/zero-os), our stateless and lightweight operating system powering the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/grid). Once booted, the servers run and can’t be accessed physically. As they’re self-healing, they don’t require any maintenance. All in all, this model flips traditional IT upside down, allowing anyone to [join](https://threefold.io/blog/join_the_peoples_internet/) the ThreeFold ecosystem.
-
-
-
-Both projects also reward their communities for providing capacity. Akash planned to launch a limited edition for an own node device, called Supermini, with plug-and-play functionalities similar to our [3Node](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/technology?id=_3nodes). *However, Akash [just announced](https://akash.network/blog/supermini-update) that they’ll be postponing the launch of their Supermini indefinitely, meaning they won't be offering anything comparable to our 3Node anytime soon.* Our [3Node](https://threefold.io/farm) is a general purpose computer that acts as a low-level provider for IT capacity. It is booted with our unique operating system Zero-OS and enables even people without technical skills to participate. We’re collaborating with certified hardware partners and plan to extend our reach in the near future to allow even more people to [join](https://threefold.io/blog/join_the_peoples_internet/) the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-## Tokenomics and incentive models
-
-Both, Akash Token (AKT) and [ThreeFold Token](https://threefold.io/tft) (TFT), are utility tokens fuelling an open-source cloud. While the Akash Tokens (AKT) represent a unit of compute on the Akash Network, ThreeFold Tokens (TFT) represent a unit of compute, storage or network on the ThreeFold Grid. Akash’s payment model allows users to pay for what they need, when they need it, using a reverse auction. In order to create a deployment, users have to provide a deposit first. As payments are effected passively, it is crucial for users to keep their deposits funded to maintain the lease of their capacity reservations. With our [ThreeFold Blockchain](https://threefold.io/tech/tf-chain), which will be released on Testnet 3.0 soon, a [new billing model](https://forum.threefold.io/t/introducing-tf-chain-an-updated-billing-model/1277) is being introduced. This model allows users to authorize [smart contracts](https://threefold.io/tech/smart-contract) to automatically deduct their wallets (similarly to a direct debit transaction), depending on how much capacity they use. Additionally, we’re implementing a new discount model, which will provide users with discounted capacity pricings according to the amount of ThreeFold Tokens stored in a user’s wallet.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-All in all, Akash does a great job with regards to decentralizing cloud capacity. However, it doesn’t challenge the status-quo in terms of [data privacy](https://forum.threefold.io/t/security-privacy-on-the-threefold-grid-and-second-best-alternatives-out-there-today/1290). At ThreeFold, we’re determined to empower users, to give them back control and ownership of their data in an [entirely secure](https://forum.threefold.io/t/critical-security-updates-for-apple-and-google-underline-need-for-secure-it-ecosystem/1271), peer-to-peer IT ecosystem. While Akash and ThreeFold seem like competitors on a cloud level, we see ourselves more as a potential [decentralized substrate](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-is-the-substrate-for-decloud/1295) for Akash to scale to the edges of our world. Akash developers would surely benefit from the lightweight and stateless features of our Zero-OS which could provide them with a more efficient and private infrastructure to test, build, and collaborate on workloads.
-
-
-
-Akash and ThreeFold share the same goal – to bring secure, performant, and data-sovereign cloud solutions for humanity to thrive. As Sam [put in a nutshell](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-is-the-substrate-for-decloud/1295): ThreeFold is the ideal substrate for projects like Akash to run on, instead of depending on traditional cloud providers – as we provide the low-level primitives for a decentralized world. So, we believe [Akash and ThreeFold](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-is-threefold-different-from-akash-and-holochain/804/2) are complementary in many ways and could join forces to further push the boundaries of [cloud decentralization](https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/markets/ambitious-startup-to-disrupt-the-internet-and-cloud/b38rwj4) together.
-
-
-
-As we truly believe in collaboration, we invite all other projects in the space to join us in our quest to decentralize the entire Internet and Cloud stack to restore the neutrality we once took for granted. Thanks for taking this journey with me and don’t forget to stay tuned for the next stop: [Filecoin](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_3_filecoin/)!

-
-Welcome to the third stop on our journey that aims to better understand the space we operate in and how ThreeFold stands out. After exploring [Dfinity](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_1_dfinity/) and [Akash](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_2_akash/), I will now take a closer look at Filecoin to discover the similarities as well as differences of their project and ThreeFold. Let’s dive right in!
-
-## Filecoin & how the project compares to ThreeFold
-
-[Filecoin](https://filecoin.io) is a global decentralized storage network and marketplace, founded in 2014 and based on the peer-to-peer protocol [IPFS](https://ipfs.io/). The open-source project is one of the most popular providers of decentralized storage, with people storing files reliably on their mainnet. Like IPFS, Filecoin was founded by [Protocol Labs](https://protocol.ai).
-
-
-
-[IPFS and Filecoin](https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/faq/#ipfs-and-filecoin) are two separate but complementary open-source protocols. IPFS enables users to store, request, and transfer their data on Filecoin in a reliable way and directly from the IPFS network. As we deeply care about data security and privacy, I’d like to point out that IPFS [does not provide a privacy layer](https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/privacy-and-encryption/#what-s-public-on-ipfs) and that, subsequently, “all traffic on IPFS is public” – meaning there is no guarantee that your data would be stored privately and confidentially. At ThreeFold, we’re determined to provide a holistically [secure IT ecosystem](https://forum.threefold.io/t/critical-security-updates-for-apple-and-google-underline-need-for-secure-it-ecosystem/1271) with various secure and private [solutions](https://forum.threefold.io/t/security-privacy-on-the-threefold-grid-and-second-best-alternatives-out-there-today/1290), such as our Quantum Safe File System ([QSFS](https://threefold.io/tech/zdbfs)) and [Planetary Network](https://threefold.io/tech/planetary-network), to empower users by giving them control and ownership of their data.
-
-
-
-Filecoin provides a persistent data storage system and has built an incentive structure on top of the IPFS protocol to reward the provisioning of storage for other people’s data. The project offers a peer-to-peer [cloud storage](https://filecoin.io/store/#intro) network and marketplace, offering an open market and reducing entry barriers to becoming a storage provider.
-
-
-
-We also offer a peer-to-peer network and cloud solution. Our ThreeFold Grid is the [most advanced](https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2020/06/20/largest-distributed-peer-to-peer-grid-on-the-planet-laying-foundation-for-a-decentralized-internet/) distributed peer-to-peer network there is, currently present in [more than 50 countries](https://explorer.grid.tf). While Filecoin also has its own underlying blockchain, we’re the first full-stack blockchain-enabled cloud to be made open source. Moreover, we offer an energy-efficient [full stack cloud infrastructure](https://cloud.threefold.io) that unites compute, storage, and network, and integrates all leading industry-standard tools – allowing for a seamless migration of any digital workload, even from [traditional cloud providers](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_cloud_vs_centralized_providers_like_aws_azure/) like Microsoft Azure or AWS.
-
-
-
-With our cloud solution, developers are also enabled to deploy virtual machines or to discover the future of cloud computing with ZFlist, a game-changing Docker-compatible solution. As [ZFlist](https://threefold.io/tech/zflist) is distributed across many mini virtual machines (VMs), it provides the ideal infrastructure for edge workloads on a highly secure level. On top of that, the data produced by these workloads can be stored in our [Quantum Safe File System](https://threefold.io/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_pt2/) (QSFS) solution. Our QSFS is highly compatible with most storage tools (e.g. S3) and protocols (e.g. IPFS). In addition to that, developers using our tech are enabled to set the terms for storing their workloads based on their needs – they even have the opportunity to scale their applications to the edge with powerful compute and storage capabilities.
-
-
-
-By contributing and lending storage capacity on Filecoin’s marketplace, providers receive rewards, executed by Filecoin’s blockchain. However, providers can only participate in Filecoin’s market if their nodes are “[built specifically for Filecoin](https://docs.filecoin.io/about-filecoin/what-is-filecoin/#for-storage-providers).” Actually, Filecoin nodes are IPFS nodes and their most advanced implementation is based on Lotus, the Filecoin Node Client. Our [3Nodes](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/technology?id=_3nodes) have easy plug-and-play functionalities, allowing even people without technical skills to participate by getting a 3Node from one of our certified hardware partners and downloading our stateless and lightweight operating system [Zero-OS](https://threefold.io/tech/zero-os), the driving force behind our Grid. 3Nodes can even be plugged in at your home. Filecoin, however, doesn’t seem to offer any kind of certified hardware.
-
-
-
-While we’ve built our own operating system [from scratch](https://threefold.io/blog/zero_os_blog/), starting just with a Linux kernel, Filecoin doesn't have its own OS. ThreeFold is not only more inclusive but also has a much higher scalability as anyone’s able to participate. In contrast, Filecoin even issues a warning in their [documentation](https://docs.filecoin.io/mine/) which states that in order to run a successful mining operation, one has to meet high hardware requirements and to be highly familiar with Filecoin. Thanks to our autonomous, self-healing technology, no maintenance is required. To ensure the security of our 3Nodes can’t be accessed physically once booted. Therefore, our ThreeFold Grid is much more inclusive, as the network capacity on it is provided by many people and organizations constituting what we like to call “[People’s Internet](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_grid_peoples_internet/).” Currently, we’re planning to extend our reach to enable even more people to join the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-
-Filecoin’s native token FIL and the [ThreeFold Token](https://threefold.io/tft) (TFT) are both utility tokens that fuel an open-source cloud. The earning model for FIL follows a simple logic for earning: the more storage a miner adds, the more FIL the respective miner will be rewarded with while also receiving FIL from users leasing their storage capacity. However, Filecoin miners must stake their FIL and can even lose their stake if their node does not perform, whereas our farming model doesn’t require staking, so farmers don’t risk losing their funds. In addition to that, our ThreeFold Tokens (TFT) can represent either a unit of compute, storage or network on the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/grid) and our farmers are rewarded for connecting one of these types of capacity to our Grid. Moreover, we’ll soon implement a [new discount model](https://forum.threefold.io/t/introducing-tf-chain-an-updated-billing-model/1277), providing users with discounted capacity pricings based on the amount of ThreeFold Tokens stored in a user’s wallet.
-
-
-
-In Filecoin’s model, [mining](https://docs.filecoin.io/mine/how-mining-works/) means contributing storage capacity to be leased by users on the marketplace that are looking to store their data. Currently, Filecoin has two types of miners – storage miners, who are responsible for storing data, and retrieval miners, who are responsible for the fast retrieval of files. A retrieval miner’s “ability to close retrieval deals” are determined by the miner’s respective bandwidth and response time. ThreeFold’s [farming](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__farming_intro) is the concept of expanding the Internet with more network, compute, and storage capacity. Farmers are [rewarded](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__farming_reward) income in the form of TFTs for providing internet capacity. Moreover, anyone can become a farmer, as farmers are independent from ThreeFold. There’s no technical knowledge is required to connect to our global peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure and all it takes is network bandwidth and electricity, in addition to our 3Node – without the interference of any type of intermediary. Therefore, a ThreeFold Farmer is ThreeFold’s more sustainable equivalent of the miners of other cryptocurrencies, disrupting the centralized data center model.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-To conclude, the two projects share the same vision of bringing users’ data closer to their respective owners, establishing an open cloud market that is independent from the few big centralized cloud providers currently dominating the market. Like ThreeFold, Filecoin seeks to provide a [network](https://filecoin.io/store/#flexible) built as well as owned by the people, regardless of their location. Nevertheless, Filecoin is focused on storage and mainly based on the IPFS protocol, only providing an incentive layer on top. In contrast, ThreeFold provides [all three](https://threefold.io/blog/an_intro_to_the_threefold_grid/) major low-level components of the internet’s backbone: compute, storage and network. Additionally, ThreeFold’s P2P Cloud offers a holistic set of solutions – from our Planetary Network and our Quantum Safe File System to our eVDC and marketplace. All in all, the technology and infrastructure we’re providing is turning traditional IT upside down.
-
-
-
-This is why ThreeFold is the [ideal substrate](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-is-the-substrate-for-decloud/1295) for projects like Filecoin to run on, as we’re already IPFS-compatible and provide the low-level primitives for a fully decentralized cloud. So, we believe Filecoin and ThreeFold could team up to jointly drive the decentralization of cloud.
-
-
-
-On their website, Filecoin [states](https://filecoin.io/build/#community) that they’re all about “coming together to collaborate and build something greater,” so they seem open to collaboration – which is very appealing to us, as we truly believe in collaboration to effect change at a large scale to fully decentralize the [Internet and Cloud](https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/markets/ambitious-startup-to-disrupt-the-internet-and-cloud/b38rwj4). Thanks for continuing this journey with me and don’t forget to stay tuned for the next stop: Storj!

-*"This article was originally published by Hannah Cordes, a former member of ThreeFold Foundation."*
-
-
-
-Welcome to the fourth part of our journey through the decentralization space. After exploring [Dfinity](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_1_dfinity/), [Akash](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_2_akash/), and most recently [Filecoin](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_3_filecoin/), we’ll now explore Storj to find out what we have in common and where ThreeFold stands out. Here we go!
-
-## Storj & how the project compares to ThreeFold
-
-[Storj](https://www.storj.io) is a decentralized cloud storage (DCS) solution founded in 2014 by Shawn Wilkinson, offering cloud object storage on its network of nodes and ISPs spread across different countries.
-
-
-
-ThreeFold and Storj are both open source projects that view transparency as an integral part of their business philosophy. Actually, ThreeFold is the first full-stack blockchain-enabled [cloud](https://cloud.threefold.io/) to be made open source – all of our code is open source and available for everyone to review or use.
-
-
-
-Another similarity is that security and privacy are crucial aspects of our projects. Both are private by design and believe it’s vital that every person has total [control and ownership](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_data_sovereignty/) over their data – not even Storj or ThreeFold can access the data of users within their respective ecosystems, creating trustless environments. Storj provides security and privacy by encrypting the data by an [Uplink client](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/concepts/overview) before it is uploaded to its DCS. The data is then split into pieces which are distributed across different nodes and ISPs connected to Storj’s cloud network. At ThreeFold, we’re creating an [entirely secure](https://forum.threefold.io/t/critical-security-updates-for-apple-and-google-underline-need-for-secure-it-ecosystem/1271), peer-to-peer IT ecosystem that empowers users and gives them back control and ownership of their own data. We’re [secure](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__usp_secure?id=network-security) across all dimensions of our solutions – from our operating system Zero-OS to Quantum Safe File System ([QSFS](https://threefold.io/tech/zdbfs)) and [Planetary Network](https://threefold.io/tech/planetary-network).
-
-
-
-While Storj does not have its own operating system, we’ve built our [Zero-OS](https://www.threefold.io/tech/zero-os) from scratch. It allows servers to run autonomously and workloads to be hosted securely, preventing them from administrative exploits and errors. The self-driving and self-healing [features](https://threefold.io/blog/zero_os_blog/) of Zero-OS eliminate backdoors, reduce the hacking surface and remove the need for human involvement.
-
-
-
-Both projects are compatible with certain IT tools and protocols. While Storj is S3-compatible and [integrates](https://www.storj.io/integrations) a couple of developer tools like FileZilla or Fastly, ThreeFold is highly compatible with leading industry standards and tools from S3 to Docker containers, [Kubernetes](https://forum.threefold.io/t/grid-utilization-plan-part-one/1157) and more. Moreover, ThreeFold can run anything that runs on Linux, allowing for a seamless migration of any digital workload, even from [traditional cloud providers](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_cloud_vs_centralized_providers_like_aws_azure/) like Microsoft Azure or AWS.
-
-
-
-A difference between the projects is that Storj focuses on providing the storage layer for developers to build storage applications like Dropbox upon, rather than offering such services themselves, whereas our energy-efficient full stack [cloud infrastructure](https://cloud.threefold.io/) includes solutions like the [ThreeFold Marketplace](https://threefold.io/marketplace) of ready-made peer-to-peer applications that runs on our Edge Virtual Data Center ([eVDC](https://threefold.io/info/cloud#/cloud__evdc)). Moreover, we’re working with innovative teams and developers to develop self-sovereign [alternatives](https://threefold.io/blog/interview_with_jimber/) to commonly used applications (e.g. video conferencing, office tools).
-
-### Network & Storage
-
-On Storj’s decentralized network, uploaded data is automatically spread across nodes in different countries. The storage capacity on Storj’s network is increased whenever a new node is connected to it. There are roughly 9,6 Petabyte of data stored on Storj with nodes in more than 80 countries, whereas roughly 85 Petabyte of storage, compute, and network capacity are deployed on the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/grid). Currently, the nodes connected to our Grid are spread over more than [50 countries](https://explorer.grid.tf).
-
-
-
-While Storj only offers storage capacity, ThreeFold provides storage, compute, and network capacity. Moreover, our system is endlessly scaleable, whereas Storj’s scalability is limited as it does not empower people without technical skills to contribute and has more complex structures, such as its Satellite component which will be explained further down. We’re continuously extending our reach and our system is capable of seamlessly growing on demand, as it enables anyone to [become a 3Node](https://threefold.io/farm) on our ThreeFold Grid. Moreover, our self-driving and self-healing [technology](https://threefold.io/tech) is unique in the space and removes the need for monitoring and maintaining the nodes.
-
-
-
-Storage nodes on Storj are responsible for storing and returning data reliably. While Storj generally allows anyone with the excess capacity and bandwidth to run a node on its network, the project does not offer certified hardware. With Storj, anyone who wants to become a node operator has to build their own nodes which have to meet the specific hardware [requirements](https://docs.storj.io/node/before-you-begin/prerequisites) of Storj. At ThreeFold, our technology was designed to scale to anywhere electricity and bandwidth can be found to meet local digital infrastructure needs, to empower the unconnected and to drive our vision of an interconnected world. This is also why we’re working with certified hardware partners to provide [plug-and-play](https://shop.threefold.tech/index.php?route=common/home) 3Nodes. These 3Nodes enable even people without technical skills to join and contribute to what we like to call the [People’s Internet](https://threefold.io/blog/join_the_peoples_internet/), as [we believe](https://threefold.io/mission) that everyone should be given equal chances and that Internet access is a human right.
-
-
-
-Next to the storage nodes, there are two other [main components](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/concepts/overview) of the Storj network: Uplink and Satellite. [Uplink](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/concepts/definitions) is Storj’s umbrella term for any application that stores or retrieves data and encrypts, encodes, and coordinates data with other services. Storj’s [Satellite](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/concepts/satellite) consists of a set of storage node services like storage node reputation, data repair, billing and more. Storj users have to sign up for accounts on Satellites and pick a specific Satellite to trust. While any user could run their own Satellite in theory, Storj recommends users to create an account on a Satellite that is hosted by a third party like Storj Labs to reduce complexity. This approach, however, fosters centralization, whereas our peer-to-peer [infrastructure](https://smartereum.com/189750/threefold-is-audaciously-building-a-new-decentralized-internet/) is an open system where anyone can provide and utilize cloud resources without any intermediaries. On top of that, we’ve implemented cryptographically-secured deployment specifications, called [Smart Contracts for IT](https://threefold.io/tech/smart-contract), to ensure that workloads run as intended in a tamper-proof way, and allow systems to scale and heal autonomously without intermediaries.
-
-### Tokenomics & Payment Methods
-
-Both projects have native utility tokens. While the Storj token is an Ethereum-based token that represents a unit of storage capacity on the Storj network, [ThreeFold Tokens](https://threefold.io/tft) (TFT) can represent either a unit of compute, storage or network on the ThreeFold Grid. Some Storj community members [criticize](https://forum.storj.io/t/the-elephant-in-the-room-where-is-the-storj-token-utility/12452) a lack of utility of the Storj token, as storage capacity on Storj can be purchased and paid for not only in Storj token but also using fiat payment options like credit card or invoice. However, Storj themselves don’t see this as an issue and [state](https://www.storj.io/blog/storj-token-balances-and-flows-report-q1-2021) that the intention behind their tokens is to facilitate the provision and receipt of data storage and not to create a digital currency or any other kind of financial instrument. In contrast, our ThreeFold Tokens are the fuel for IT capacity, as they allow people to hold current and future cloud capacity on the ThreeFold Grid. Moreover, a limited supply of four billion ThreeFold Token has been set to keep the currency scarce, while the burning mechanism simultaneously ensures continuous rewards for current and future nodes. Find out more about our two algorithms, Proof-of-Capacity (PoC) and Proof-of-Utilization (PoU), in our [tokenomics](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__tokenomics).
-
-
-
-By connecting storage nodes to Storj’s network and providing storage capacity to others, node operators get rewarded with Storj tokens which they receive [from Storj Labs](https://www.storj.io/blog/storj-token-balances-and-flows-report-q2-2021) as a centralized payment operator, whereas ThreeFold Token are already rewarded upon the connection of capacity to our Grid. Moreover, storage capacity on Storj’s network can only be purchased with a subscription-based [model](https://www.storj.io/pricing). With ThreeFold, anyone can become a farmer and be [rewarded income](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__farming_reward) in the form of ThreeFold Tokens for [expanding](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__farming_intro) the Internet by contributing cloud capacity. ThreeFold Tokens incentivize an open and autonomous [peer-to-peer](https://threefold.io/tech/peer-to-peer) system free from any type of intermediary. We’re enabling anyone to become an independent farmer, as we believe in empowering people and that no single entity should have the power to control systems. Based on our [ThreeFold Blockchain](https://threefold.io/tech/tf-chain), which will be released on Testnet 3.0 soon, a new discount as well as [billing model](https://forum.threefold.io/t/introducing-tf-chain-an-updated-billing-model/1277) will be introduced. The latter will allow users to authorize [smart contracts](https://threefold.io/tech/smart-contract) to automatically deduct their wallets according to the capacity they use.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-In summary, we both share the same vision of a decentralized Internet. The biggest difference between Storj and ThreeFold is that Storj is focused on providing storage, whereas [ThreeFold](https://threefold.io/blog/an_intro_to_the_threefold_grid/) does not only provide storage but also compute and network capacity. While Storj seeks to be the storage layer for the [decentralized Internet](https://threefold.io/blog/quest_decentralize_internet/), ThreeFold provides the [low-level primitives](https://threefold.io/blog/an_intro_to_the_threefold_grid/) for a *truly* decentralized Internet: compute, storage and network.
-
-
-
-While we’re the [largest](https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2020/06/20/largest-distributed-peer-to-peer-grid-on-the-planet-laying-foundation-for-a-decentralized-internet/), most advanced peer-to-peer cloud infrastructure in the world and are expanding fast, some aspects of Storj's storage network still function in a rather centralized manner, such as their payment model and Satellites. In addition to that, we’re providing the ideal infrastructure for edge workloads. The project could therefore [benefit](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-is-the-substrate-for-decloud/1295) from moving on top of our fully decentralized, highly energy-efficient and autonomous [infrastructure](https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/markets/ambitious-startup-to-disrupt-the-internet-and-cloud/b38rwj4). Together, we could drive the [decentralization](https://www.econotimes.com/ThreeFold-DFINITY-and-the-race-to-Decentralize-the-Internet-1618367) of storage capacity all over the world. We believe in a world without boundaries, where people are able to share information, value and knowledge without limits nor intermediaries. To achieve this vision and to effect change at a large scale it takes collaboration.

-*"This article was originally published by Hannah Cordes, a former member of ThreeFold Foundation."*
-
-
-
-ThreeFold is an innovative Internet infrastructure. By applying peer-to-peer technology to the Internet, ThreeFold operates without centralized cloud providers or authorities the management of transactions and the offering of Internet capacity is carried out collectively by a people-powered network.
-
-
-
-ThreeFold is open-source – its code is public, nobody owns or controls ThreeFold and everyone can take part. Through many of its unique properties, ThreeFold represents the next-evolution of the Internet and is the low-level foundation to support any current or future digital workload including Edge Computing, Web2, Web3, Blockchain, IoT and the Metaverse.
-
-
-
-ThreeFold aims to ensure that no application, big or small, is subject to the limitations of Web3 or the pitfalls of Web2. Its peer-to-peer Internet Grid is infinitely more resilient, secure and scalable than centralized cloud providers like AWS or Microsoft Azure.
-
-## Participate in the ThreeFold L2 Validator Program
-
-The [ThreeFold Blockchain](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_chain/) records transactions that happen on the ThreeFold Grid, including Internet capacity (farming), Internet capacity provisioning (smart contract for IT), identity, account metadata and more.
-
-
-
-[Validator nodes](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/decentralization/validators/threefold__validators) support the network by remaining in sync with the ThreeFold Blockchain and recording the chain’s data while validating and/or injecting transactions. Essentially, a validator stores and validates transactions aka, mining blocks.
-
-
-
-With about a hundred L2 validator nodes to join the network, clients will be able to rely on a distributed, peer-to-peer network instead of relying on centralized services.
-
-
-
-Many people and organizations rallied to run validator nodes using computing and bandwidth resources – but more are needed to allow ThreeFold to continue to grow. The rest of this post describes how you can help and what’s in it for you.
-
-## Why run a ThreeFold L2 Validator?
-
-L2 Validators store the records of the ThreeFold Blockchain, the ThreeFold DAO and the development of side chains on the ThreeFold Grid. There are only 50 in the first batch and 37 have already been verified – meaning there are only 13 spots left! Running an L2 validator requires 2,000,000 TFT staked in order to begin validating. This 2,000,000 TFT is the minimum bond needed to begin validating blocks. A validator also earns voting rights in the ThreeFold DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization), which is responsible for the operations of the ThreeFold Blockchain and ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-
-Running a validator node on a computer isn’t a complicated task. For many of us who love ThreeFold, we want to support the decentralization of the peer-to-peer Internet, and running a validator node is a great way to do that. Also, it is a unique and revolutionary project to have in your room or office. Running a validator node requires little electricity, close to zero technical knowledge, and no real time commitments.
-
-## Validator Node Rewards
-
-For their commitment, and as an incentive for their continued participation, validators are rewarded with a share of the ThreeFold Grid’s revenue. By helping the network reach consensus, validators also earn rewards for processing transactions into new blocks or checking the work of other validators because that's what keeps the ThreeFold Blockchain secure. A minimum of 5% yield is foreseen in the next 2 years.
-
-## Join the Peer-to-Peer Revolution
-
-ThreeFold is realizing the initial promise of an open-source, peer-to-peer Internet owned by the people. Anyone can become a validator and participate in the decentralization of the Internet economy. If you are interested in running one, just follow these simple steps:
-
-
-
-* **Step 1**: Create an account (wallet) with the [ThreeFold Connect](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__threefold_connect) app.
-* **Step 2**: Buy the required amount of TFT to reserve your validator. Find all TFT buying options [here](https://www.manual.grid.tf/documentation/threefold_token/buy_sell_tft/buy_sell_tft.html).
-* **Step 3**: Log into the [ThreeFold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/) using ThreeFold Connect and go to the [L2 Validator Signup](https://forum.threefold.io/c/dao/validators-signup-l2/83) category.
-* **Step 4**: Follow the [registration instructions](https://forum.threefold.io/t/procedure-to-register-your-l2-validator-node/1864) to become a L2 Validator, and review the checklist of your application before submission.
-
-
-
-Someone from the ThreeFold community will get in touch with you within the next few days to welcome you to the ThreeFold universe. We’ll have a brief call to verify your identity and wallet treasury to confirm your application. The successful verification process secures your spot as a ThreeFold L2 Validator.

-Last week, we shared an update on [what's new in TF Grid 3.0.1 – and the path to mainnet!](https://forum.threefold.io/t/whats-new-in-tf-grid-3-0-1-and-the-path-to-mainnet/1488) There's been a lot of exciting progress by the team, and we wanted to share with you some more specifics where we can – starting with the admin portal!
-
-## What is the admin portal?
-
-One of the requests from farmers and grid users was a to have a simpler user experience. The admin portal (aka TF Chain UI) is a response to that feedback, a graphical user interface for farmers and grid users on top of [the TF Chain](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/threefold__tfchain).
-
-
-
-**The admin portal is the starting point for anyone to start working with the TF Grid.** For Farmers in particular they now have a much simpler way to create a farming identity and then connect their infrastructure to the ThreeFold Grid 3.0. It is a one stop shop to start a farm. Beyond that, it's a way for any TF Grid user to create their account on the TF Chain, get a Twin, and get started (testing for now) on the TF Grid 3.0 devnet or testnet.
-
-
-
-*Find links to get started at the bottom!*
-
-## What does the admin portal do?
-
-The admin portal is a place for TF Grid users to:
-
-
-
-Create an account on the TF Chain and a digital twin to start smart contracting on TF Chain (allowing you to also link to your IP address for added security).
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Operate a bridge between Stellar and TF Chain on Parity Substrate (deposit TFT from Stellar, or return unused TFT to the Stellar chain, the bridge is active in both directions)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-For farmers: create and manage your farm(s), provide IPv4 addresses available for your farm(s), attach a Stellar wallet for TFT payouts, and a link to download the bootloader for testnet and devnet (mainnet is on its way).
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-The portal also links to the new capacity explorer, which we'll share more about early next week.
-
-
-
-
-
-## How is this an improvement over the old process?
-
-Previously, all of these tools existed, but not always in the same place or with a clear and easy-to-use UX/UI. We've tested this portal with people of all technical levels, and the response has been great! We believe the portal is a huge step forward for anyone using or managing the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-
-More improvements will come in the next versions. As an example, we're planning for you to be able to see the connected nodes linked to your farm with their status, earned tokens, etc.
-
-## Get started
-
-The portal is currently available on [devnet](https://portal.dev.grid.tf) and [testnet](https://portal.test.grid.tf/). You can also find information on the portal in our library [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__tfgrid3_getstarted). *Please note, you'll need to install the Polkadot{.js} extension and create or import an account in order to get started.*

-*"This article was originally published by Hannah Cordes, a former member of ThreeFold Foundation."*
-
-
-
-We are very excited to present to you the new Explorer UI for ThreeFold Grid 3.x! 🎉
-
-
-
-The Explorer was designed to provide **a simple way for anyone to find decentralized Internet capacity on the ThreeFold Grid**, and we’re thrilled to announce a new user interface for Grid 3.x on both [testnet](https://explorer.test.grid.tf/) and [devnet](https://explorer.dev.grid.tf/).
-
-
-
-The new explorer builds upon the recent migration to the Parity Substrate, **bringing true decentralization** to the way compute, storage and network capacity information is sourced from 3Nodes. The previous [explorer](https://explorer.grid.tf/) (used for 2.x) has been sourcing its information from a centralized database as TF Chain was still under construction. Now, the new explorer receives its information via [GraphQL](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__explorer_graphql_intro) **straight from the [ThreeFold Blockhain](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__grid3_tfchain_init)**.
-
-## What is GraphQL?
-
-[GraphQL](https://graphql.org/) is an open source data query language for APIs. The GraphQL interface queries our blockchain and displays the information registered on it in a command-line interface. We, in turn, created a graphical representation of that information in our explorer.
-
-## What to expect from the new Explorer UI
-
-The **new [Explorer UI](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__explorer_home)** allows you to **explore the available Internet capacity** connected to ThreeFold Grid **easier than ever before**. As of now, the new Explorer displays data about the compute, storage, network and gateways connected to the Grid 3.x testnet and devnet by ThreeFold Farmers.
-
-
-
-The statistics section gives you **an overview of [key information](https://explorer.test.grid.tf/)** about our testnet (as of November 30th, 2021) as displayed below. Our farmer community has already connected **more than 100 nodes (across 16 countries)**, and we have seen **more than 1,400 contracts deployed** on the ThreeFold Grid 3.0 testnet since its launch.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-*All screenshots in this post are from the ThreeFold Grid 3.x testnet Explorer, and the numbers are growing continuously.*
-
-
-
-Once a farm ID gets registered to **the new [TF Chain Portal](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__tfchain_portal_home)**, all the relevant information (e.g. uptime, nodes specifications, location) of farms are automatically displayed on the Explorer for users to find their ideal decentralized Internet capacity.
-
-
-
-Users can now explore all farms and [3Nodes](https://threefold.io/farm/) using **multiple filtering options** (e.g. farm name or farm ID), making it simpler than ever before to find the decentralized Internet capacity they are looking for.
-
-
-
-Not sure what the new Admin Portal is about? We’ve covered all the details in **our [previous update](https://forum.threefold.io/t/introducing-the-tf-chain-admin-portal-for-farmers-and-grid-users/1526)**, check it out!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-We also made the world map bigger to improve the display of the available decentralized Internet capacity.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Dark mode is finally available for the ThreeFod Grid 3.x, bringing **a more comfortable navigation** for some of us. Just click on the crescent/sun icon in the upper-right corner of the screen, and you’re good to go.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-We invite you to **take a look at the ThreeFold Grid 3.x Explorer UI overview** with more details **[here](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__explorer_ui)**.
-
-
-
-*Keep in mind, the overview of all 3Nodes worldwide across all nets can be found [here](https://explorer.grid.tf/) and this will phase out as we approach 3.x mainnet launch as shared on our previous [update](https://forum.threefold.io/t/whats-new-in-tf-grid-3-0-1-and-the-path-to-mainnet/1488).*

-We’re currently experiencing the [worst crypto bear market](https://cointelegraph.com/news/2022-bear-market-has-been-the-worst-on-record-glassnode) ever recorded, with a loss in value of [$2 trillion](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/14/why-the-2022-crypto-winter-is-unlike-previous-bear-markets.html) since 2021 and projects collapsing. Bitcoin recorded a [70% loss](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/14/why-the-2022-crypto-winter-is-unlike-previous-bear-markets.html) since last November. While rising inflation rates, a downward market and crypto winter have many projects struggling, these market conditions favour those who are building and providing technology with real-world value over those who are just creating hype. The dust always settles.
-
-
-
-While exhibiting at conferences, hosting gatherings and entertaining countless conversations, we were assured that the world is looking for decentralized infrastructure projects that provide truly innovative technology. Still today, blockchain and Web 3 projects hold very low utility. Jack Dorsey’s plans to build a platform called [‘Web 5’](https://cryptopotato.com/jack-dorsey-snubs-web-3-for-all-new-web-5-platform/) is just another example of market dynamics.
-
-
-
-In the meantime, ThreeFold – hand-picked as a [top Web 3 startup](https://www.startus-insights.com/innovators-guide/web3-startups/) – keeps building the technology for a better world, and we recently got noticed by some major players in the market. More info coming soon.

-## The Internet of Internets & Tech Highlights
-
-In May, we introduced you to the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/) which will interconnect us all, while providing us with digital sovereignty, privacy and meaningful experiences. The Internet of Internets is infinitely scalable and in line with our [glocal strategy](https://threefold.io/blog/connecting_the_dots/). It empowers people to build their own regional Internet infrastructures that will be interconnected on a global level.
-
-
-
-And with each new Grid release, we’re getting one step closer to solidifying the foundation of the Internet of Internets. The team is working hard to further develop and advance the Grid. A massive thank you to our incredible tech team and the community of Grid testers!
-
-
-
-The ThreeFold Grid is currently on testnet [version 3.6.0](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tfgrid-v3-6-0-is-now-live/3084?u=hannahcordes). This release includes some significant updates like [Uhuru v1.2 (beta)](https://beta.uhuru.me/), improvements to the app and the wallet, new [planetary network](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__tfgrid_release_3_6_0?id=tf-planetary-network-v030) functionalities, on-chain farmer voting, and a lot more. Huge progress was also made on [TF Chain](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__tfgrid_release_3_6_0?id=tfchain-v112): DAO support, the support of [dedicated nodes](https://forum.threefold.io/t/dedicated-node-support/2521), farm certification, and other features vital to our mission were implemented. [Vote](https://forum.threefold.io/t/release-of-tfgrid-3-6/3144?u=hannahcordes) for **releasing ThreeFold Grid 3.6.0 on mainnet** now!

-To provide a better user experience and to simplify processes, the [TF Connect App](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__tfgrid_release_3_6_0?id=tfconnect-app-v360) received several upgrades and new features like farm management, the Planetary Network, [ThreeFold Wallet V3](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tf-connect-wallet-v3/2565), and many backend improvements.
-
-
-
-Additionally, we made huge progress in **making TFT more accessible** to the world by launching and evolving the [“Get TFT” platform](https://gettft.com/gettft/) which allows anyone to buy TFT [directly with Bitcoin](https://forum.threefold.io/t/get-tft-directly-with-btc/1825) or with [fiat currency](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tft-fiat-gateway-beta-testing-program/2746).
-
-## Community Development & The ThreeFold Ecosystem
-
-While we started the year 2022 with about 1,450 3Nodes in 57 countries, we’re now up to more than 3,200 3Nodes connected from [81 countries](https://explorer.threefold.io/) – thanks to all farmers who built or bought and connected 3Nodes. In early 2022, we officially opened up registrations for validator nodes and are proud to have many amazing validators already verified!
-
-
-
-Throughout the last few months, some of the team has been travelling to places around the world to meet new people, to share our vision and to expand our community on the ground – from Dubai to Miami and [Austin](https://threefold.io/blog/consensus_2022_recap/), to the Nile and Zanzibar. We met with investor groups and other blockchain projects with which we’re in discussions around opportunities for collaboration. And we’ll continue to build meaningful relationships with local communities and to explore opportunities around the world to [connect the dots](https://threefold.io/blog/connecting_the_dots/).
-
-
-
-We shared about the historic partnership with [Paradise Hills](https://threefold.io/blog/paradise_hills/) – a key milestone for our Internet of Internets model as the very first partnership for Community Clouds. Together, we’re bringing the world’s largest decentralized Internet Cloud powered by TF Chain into homes in Dubai.
-
-
-
-In addition to continuing our work and projects with key partners like [ownCloud](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tfgrid-v3-6-0-is-now-live/3084) and [Take Action Global](https://forum.threefold.io/c/ecosystem-developments/sustainability/90) (TAG), we announced a few exciting partnerships including [IETSA](https://threefold.io/news/post/threefold_ietsa/) and, most recently, [OpenNebula](https://threefold.io/news/post/opennebula_threefold/), as well as joined initiatives like [Structura-X](https://www.gaia-x.eu/news/structura-x-lighthouse-project-european-cloud-infrastructure-launched-concrete-implementation). These partnerships are crucial to improve digital sovereignty, to foster blockchain and Web 3 education, and to further drive edge and cloud innovation.
-
-## What’s coming in the second half of 2022
-
-We’re currently in a [phase of expansion](https://threefold.io/blog/four_phases_of_threefold/) with many new ecosystem developments, tech advancements and building blocks for the Internet of Internets happening all around. We’re very proud of our progress and the strong ecosystem around us. Together, we continue to build.
-
-
-
-As ThreeFold co-founder Kristof de Spiegeleer shared in [this post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-is-the-real-value-of-tft/3143?u=hannahcordes), we’re planning to launch FreeFlow/Uhuru, an alternative to centralized exchanges, and our DAO. Additionally, dedicated nodes with support for [Pocket Network](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__tfgrid_release_3_6_0?id=tfnode-pilot-v010), FreeFlow/Uhuru and [Presearch](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__weblets_presearch?id=presearch) will be made available. Read the updated [ThreeFold Grid Roadmap](https://forum.threefold.io/t/internal-roadmap-3-5-3-6/2928?u=hannahcordes) to see what’s planned for the next releases.
-
-
-
-On top of that, we’re working on multiple banking projects and country implementations, key steps in the journey to create a truly decentralized world. At this point, we’re not able to share more. Nevertheless, these projects emphasize the value of and need for our technology, and we’ll be sharing as much as we can as we go!

-The United Nations publicly ruled Internet access to be a human right in 2016. Proper access to the Internet helps to protect people’s freedom of speech and thought, as well as other fundamentals such as access to knowledge and information.
-
-
-Nonetheless, as of 2019, about 43% of humanity remains unconnected to the Internet, creating huge inequalities in access to information and knowledge. It is essential to take the necessary steps to strengthen the relationship between governments and people while still upholding all human rights.
-
-
-ThreeFold created an infrastructure that is easily affordable and jointly operated by network peers to make the modern Internet open and fair to everyone. Anybody with a network connection and electricity can add capacity to the ThreeFold Grid. We're looking for farmers around the globe and we're also partnering with farming cooperatives to develop localized strategies and meet the specific needs of their region. Plus, the Foundation will incentivize and sponsor the extension and scope to areas that require Internet capacity the most, to ensure a fair and equitable delivery of the Internet to all.

-
-
-
-As we’ve recently been exploring decentralized [projects](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_1_dfinity/) to see where ThreeFold is in the space and where we stand out, we thought it’s a good time to also look into how we compare to traditional, centralized cloud providers.
-
-
-
-The cloud market is a highly complex and competitive one, currently [dominated](https://www.srgresearch.com/articles/amazon-and-microsoft-maintain-their-grip-market-others-are-also-growing-rapidly) by the market leaders Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure who account for more than half of the worldwide cloud revenues. This centralized nature of today’s cloud as well as its hyper-scale data center model are the cause for various issues, ranging from the monopolistic power of the few big market players and vendor lock-in effects to the incredibly high energy consumption of data centers and the limited scalability of the current model. Moreover, traditional data centers are more prone to outages and cyber attacks. We believe the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/grid) built by independent farmers around the globe and our [ThreeFold P2P Cloud](https://cloud.threefold.io) provide a solution to all of these issues.
-
-
-
-While centralized cloud providers do offer some benefits, such as robust feature sets and huge customer service teams, there are a few key and important differences we think any customer would care about:
-
-## Decentralization
-
-This is the biggest and most obvious difference. Today, big tech holds a [monopoly](https://www.srgresearch.com/articles/amazon-and-microsoft-maintain-their-grip-market-others-are-also-growing-rapidly) on the Internet and Cloud markets, meaning they somehow became the gatekeepers of what was originally intended to be a distributed, neutral Internet. When using AWS or Google Cloud, the data is stored in centralized data centers owned by private corporations. These data centers are susceptible to hacking and outages that can take down massive chunks of the Internet. In this system, people have become products, as they exchange their [data](https://threefold.io/blog/data_leaks/) for “free” online experiences. With [ThreeFold](https://threefold.io/mission), data is stored fully decentralized on the peer-to-peer ThreeFold Grid, where the physical hardware is owned by independent ThreeFold [Farmers](https://threefold.io/farm), and the data is owned by as well as only accessible to the person(s) who put it there. So, hackers can’t get in and due to the decentralized nature of the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/grid), large-scale outages would be much less likely as well. Further, no organization or entity needs to be trusted and people are not treated as products – with ThreeFold’s infrastructure, the Internet is owned [by the people](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_grid_peoples_internet/).
-
-## Limitless Scalability at the Edge
-
-Our lightweight operating system [Zero-OS](https://threefold.io/tech/zero-os) makes it possible and even easy to install a node close to where the data is being consumed. There is no need for large servers, nor for heavy power supply installations. Together with our hardware partners, we’re offering [3Nodes](https://threefold.io/farm) with plug-and-play functionalities, allowing [anyone to participate](https://threefold.io/blog/join_the_peoples_internet/). This makes our model infinitely scalable at the edge. Hyper-scale data centers are not able to provide these levels of scalability and edge benefits. In order to scale their operations, centralized cloud providers need to build more data centers and take care of the related maintenance which takes time and costs billions. The traditional data center model also isn’t well suited for the edge, as this requires flexibility and close proximity to the respective data.
-
-## Security
-
-Centralized clouds are secure, but vulnerable. At ThreeFold, we pride ourselves on the levels of security we’re providing. The [peer-to-peer](https://threefold.io/tech/peer-to-peer) nature of our technology means end-to-end transmission of data between parties (with no middlemen). This is a big one: Nothing is being stored or copied in central servers. Moreover, ThreeFold’s self-driving and self-healing IT removes the need for human intervention and eliminates the many back doors present in current architecture. So, [security issues](https://forum.threefold.io/t/critical-security-updates-for-apple-and-google-underline-need-for-secure-it-ecosystem/1271) caused by human error and hacking possibilities both diminish greatly. In addition to that, there is the distributed storage algorithm which makes it nearly impossible for data to be lost. And much more. You can find more info on our [wiki](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__usp_secure?id=network-security) or in this [forum post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/security-privacy-on-the-threefold-grid-and-second-best-alternatives-out-there-today/1290).
-
-## Privacy
-
-The fact that you [own your data](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_data_sovereignty/) and nobody – not even us – can get access to it is key to making ThreeFold much more private than centralized cloud providers. On top of that, connections within our global overlay network, the [Planetary Network](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-our-planetary-network-works/1210), are peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted.
-
-## Affordability
-
-In the end, the centralized cloud is quite expensive, whereas our ThreeFold P2P Cloud is much more cost-effective. Learn more about this in our cloud pricing comparison [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/pricing/threefold__cloud_pricing_compare).
-
-## Energy Efficiency
-
-While electricity for storing and transporting data, administration, human resources, and even gas (to transport physical data-holding devices) lead to a very high energy consumption, our dispersed storage model and peer-to-peer infrastructure allow for [significant energy savings](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/sustainability/threefold__energy_savings_storage). So, another big difference between ThreeFold and centralized cloud providers is that we’re up to 100x more [energy-efficient](https://new.threefold.io/blog/post/for_our_planet/).
-
-
-
-All in all, the combination of our [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/grid) and [ThreeFold P2P Cloud](https://cloud.threefold.io) provide significant advantages over centralized cloud providers with their hyper-scale data centers. From decentralization and infinite scalability at the edge to considerable energy savings and cost effectiveness as well as data privacy and security, [our solution](https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/markets/ambitious-startup-to-disrupt-the-internet-and-cloud/b38rwj4) has much more value to offer, while solving critical issues related to centralized clouds. If you’d like to test our cloud solution yourself, take a look [here](https://threefold.io/info/cloud#/cloud__evdc_getting_started). You can also start participating in our decentralized ecosystem by becoming a [3Node]( https://shop.threefold.tech/index.php?route=common/home) on our ThreeFold Grid.

-There’s no question that climate change is one of the biggest, if not the biggest threats facing humanity today. If we care at all about future generations and the health of our planet, we have no choice but to address these threats, and fast. That’s why one of our biggest aims is to lower the energy usage of our digital lives. But ThreeFold is taking not just a sustainable approach, we’re setting the plan for a planet positive Internet.
-
-
-Recently, we released information on how our infrastructure saves up-to-90% on energy consumption compared to existing models. We achieve this mainly thanks to an extremely efficient storage system and the concept of a Digital Twin.
-
-
-From [a storage standpoint](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__energy_savings_storage), we reduce energy by avoiding copies, implementing a multi-layer system, not using fast disks, through read/write caching, and more. With [Digital Twin](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__energy_savings_digital_twin), we have taken a very different approach to how we exist in today’s digital world. Rather than existing 100 times in a huge system of client-server architecture, now we exist only once. We believe that we can run 25 Digital Twins with [the same energy](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__bulb_comparison_twin) as used by one light bulb.
-
-
-Saving energy is one thing, but there will still be remaining energy. This needs to be offset by carbon credits. Now, in order to regenerate our planet, we [work together with Take Action Global](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__carbon_negative) to let students farm carbon credits. This has the potential to offset energy usage 100% by the end of 2021, and we have, as an aim to take 2x more carbon out of the air than we put in.
-
-
-Our planet needs better solutions across industries. No more talking. Now is the time to act.

-It was an important year for ThreeFold, with huge developments on the ThreeFold Grid, the continued expansion of the grid by farmers, key partnerships, and more – all setting up for a strong 2022.
-
-
-
-Let’s take a quick look back at the year that was.
-
-### The ThreeFold Grid
-
-In January we launched ThreeFold Grid 2.4 on Mainnet and evolved it through version 2.8. In September, we launched ThreeFold Grid 3.0 on testnet and just this week, we launched TF Grid 3.0 on mainnet, with limited capacity for now.
-
-
-
-ThreeFold Grid 3 brings a massive leap forward in the decentralization of the ThreeFold Grid and makes for a much simpler user experience for farmers and grid users.
-
-
-
-The starting point ThreeFold Grid 3:

-* [Manual](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/)
-
-### Notable Tech Developments
-
-Other new developments on the tech side included [QSFS](https://threefold.io/news/post/qsfs_intro/) (Quantum Safe Storage System), [TF Chain](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_chain/), Smart Contracts and more (take a look at the new [tech section](https://threefold.io/tech) we launched with the new threefold.io this year and of course [our knowledge base](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/technology/threefold__technology)).
-
-### The ThreeFold Token (TFT)
-
-2021 was all about bringing TFT to more chains and making TFT more accessible, with the [BSC integration](https://threefold.io/news/post/bsc_update_news/), TF Chain, and [1inch](https://threefold.io/news/post/tft_1inch/).
-
-
-
-*[Read about our TFGrid & TFT Price Simulation.](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tft-tfgrid-growth-simulation/1633)*
-
-### ThreeFold Farming
-
-Today, the ThreeFold Grid is live in [57 countries](https://explorer.threefold.io) with more than 1,450 Nodes online. Thanks to all the Farmers who both built or bought and connected 3Nodes!
-
-
-
-In 2021, we introduced a [certified farming program](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__certified_farming) and [farming rewards 3.0](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__farming_reward) which will apply from ThreeFold Grid 3.1 onwards (end Jan). We also established [weekly 3Node updates](https://forum.threefold.io/c/farming/nodeshop-pre-order-faq/59) to keep you in the loop at all times.
-
-### Partnerships

-Throughout 2021, we announced key partnerships with [ownCloud](https://threefold.io/news/post/owncloud_threefold/), [DigiThree Labs](https://threefold.io/news/post/digithree/), [CasperLabs](https://threefold.io/news/post/threefold_casperlabs/) and many more. Most recently, two of these partnerships were featured in the news, [TAG](https://martechseries.com/technology/threefold-and-take-action-global-partner-to-bring-internet-access-to-1-billion-people-across-the-globe/) and [Computecoin](https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2021-12-21/helping-africa-go-digital-a-metaverse-startup-is-working-with-an-ngo-to-expand-digital-infrastructure-in-africa). All of these will be launched in 2022.
-
-## 2022 Preview (Q1)
-
-In the first part of 2022, we are launching our grid.
-
-
-
-Read our launch plan and offer feedback!
-
-
-
-[> OUR LAUNCHPLAN Q1 2022](https://forum.threefold.io/t/the-threefold-grid-3-x-launch-plan/1634)
-
-### The ThreeFold Token
-
-Now is the time to [buy TFT](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/how_to_buy)! (Please take a look at the launch plan above.)
-
-
-
-In 2022, our goal for the ThreeFold Token is to be available at as many entry points as possible. We’re planning integrations with many ecosystems like Cosmos to achieve great networking effects for the money networks. There will be discounts for Utilization based on pre-purchasing of TFT, and more.
-
-## Wrapping Things Up
-
-There’s no other project out there like ThreeFold. TF Grid 3 is here, the grid is continuously growing across the world, and this collective effort is uniquely positioned to truly decentralize the Internet. Remember: ThreeFold is inevitable.
-
-
-
-So, here we go! You can expect many more updates soon on what was covered above. And may the year 2022 be full of health, happiness and opportunities for all of us!
-
-
-
-Please be reminded we are a decentralized movement, we need your help to let us all “BE THE INTERNET.” Become a farmer, register for a validator, contribute to our movement, develop a solution on top of TF Grid … If you’re not sure how to help out but want to, please get in touch on [our two-way chat](https://t.me/threefold) or here on the forum.

-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.
-
-
-
-- 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).
-
-
-
-- 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.
-
-
-
-- 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!
-
-
-
-- 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).
-
-
-
-- 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.
-
-
-
-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.
-
-
-
-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.
-
-
-
-- 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.
-
-## Team on the Ground

-## Mastodon, the Fediverse & ThreeFold
-
-The aftermath of Musk’s acquisition of Twitter was a mass digital migration towards Mastodon (up from 300,000 to 2.5 million monthly active users). We supported this trend towards decentralized social media platforms, and saw that [ThreeFold could be of great support to Mastodon](https://forum.threefold.io/t/mastodon-threefold-101-what-is-mastodon-and-how-can-threefold-support/3494)!
-
-
-
-- [Blog: Twitter, Mastodon, and Why We’re Evolving the Internet](https://www.threefold.io/blog/twitter-mastodon/)
-- [Community Call recording](https://forum.threefold.io/t/mastodon-the-fediverse-community-call-recording/3522) focused around Mastodon
-- We have been working on a weblet to [deploy Mastodon servers on top of the Grid](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-product-focus-mastodon-servers-powered-by-threefold/3562), and Mastodon powered by ThreeFold is now [ready for testing](https://forum.threefold.io/t/beta-testers-wanted-mastodon-powered-by-threefold/3637/2)! Your feedback is valued, and be sure to spread the word!

-
-Today, the blockchain space is flooded with as many as 22,000 coins and tokens and for several months now, the market has been struggling at large with some coins even collapsing. A thorough shakeout could expose those tokens and coins purely focused on making quick profits and creating hype, and mitigate pump-and-dump schemes. Now’s the time for projects like us to shine – projects with tokens that serve a higher purpose and come with sound tokenomics.
-
-## TFT – An Accessible Utility Token
-
-We’re an Internet infrastructure project building the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/) together with a growing community around the world. So, TFT is not just any token. TFT is our native utility token, and as such, is backed by the continuous growth of the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-
-Generally speaking, [utility tokens](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__newtotokens?id=threefold-token-for-beginners) are created to give digital access to specific products or services. While they do provide value in different ways, they cannot be considered “money” as directly as coins can be.
-
-
-
-As the utility token and medium of exchange of the [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tfgrid/threefold__grid_intro), TFT represents Internet capacity. It supports a truly decentralized Internet for all and is leveraged to access and scale our open-source peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure. TFT is and will remain our main token, it’s our global currency. In a nutshell, TFT is our way of incentivizing an open ecosystem where anyone can connect and utilize Internet capacity without any intermediaries.
-
-
-
-We’ve made a lot of progress in making the ThreeFold Token more accessible and in creating a healthy financial ecosystem for it. Moreover, the team is building our own DeFi solutions. You can learn more about our efforts towards providing a native financial system for the Internet of Internets [here](https://threefold.io/blog/future_tft_ecosystem/).
-
-
-
-*If you’re new to ThreeFold, I recommend giving our “[ThreeFold Token for Beginners](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__newtotokens)” page a read.*
-
-## Limited Supply and Strong Scarcity Mechanisms
-
-First of all, the supply of TFT is [limited](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__tft_limited_supply) to a total number of 4 billion. New TFT are only minted when new Internet capacity is added to the ThreeFold Grid – we call this process of connecting capacity [farming](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__farming_intro). The tokens are minted using our so-called [Proof of Capacity](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__proof_of_capacity) algorithm. We’re also exploring the possibility of providing farmers with booster rewards for certain achievements in areas like reliability and uptime, quality of bandwidth, level of utilization.
-
-
-
-In line with our [planet-first people-first philosophy](https://threefold.io/blog/planet_first_people_first/), we’ve implemented a Voluntary Carbon Credits system in the PoC algorithm, so every 3Node mints additional TFT to offset its own carbon emissions, as outlined [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-on-track-to-be-planet-positive/2097?u=hannahcordes).
-
-
-
-To incentivize the long-term growth of the ecosystem, a burning mechanism permanently removes TFT from the circulating supply, as this ensures scarcity and continuous [farming rewards](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__farming_reward). Burning will increase proportionally as the [utilization](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__proof_of_utilization) of the Grid grows, ensuring the amount of TFT in the market is limited and leading to a healthy economic system.
-
-
-
-Also, many existing token holders expressed their confidence and support by [vesting](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__vesting_overview) their TFT in 2021, further limiting the number of TFT circulating. Moreover, chances are that a growing number of token owners will hold onto their TFT – because they expect the token to rise in value – which will increase scarcity. Ultimately, [TFT](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__threefold_token) has the potential to become a valuable commodity, offering a more reliable alternative to other digital currencies like Bitcoin. The hoarding of TFT means that these tokens won’t be available to be used on the Grid, additionally reducing the amount of available TFT.
-
-
-
-And there are more factors potentially reinforcing scarcity. Staking is the mechanism to let the community invest and benefit from the growth of the Grid. Once the validator nodes can be deployed, validator owners and community members will be able to stake TFT on the validators which will secure the blockchain. To unlock voting rights and rewards, a certain amount of TFT has to be staked. Eventually, rewards for the validator owners could account for up to 50% of the [TFT](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__threefold_token) supply.
-
-
-
-The combination of the token’s scarcity mechanisms with our staking and validator programs will lead to an increased scarcity of TFT on the market – which, in turn, will allow our future DeFi solutions to sell TFT at a higher value.
-
-
-
-*Visit our wiki to dive deeper into our [tokenomics](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__tokenomics) and to find more details on the [value of TFT](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__grid_valuation).*
-
-## TFT’s Role for the Internet of Internets
-
-We don’t believe in hype or speculation, and we don’t spend any of our scarce resources on supporting speculation. We believe in the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/) which will interconnect us all, while providing us with digital sovereignty, privacy and meaningful experiences. We believe in the organic and sustainable growth of ThreeFold Token and the Internet of Internets vision.
-
-
-
-Along with building community-owned Internets, our ecosystem is reimagining education, business, governance and more for a fair, inclusive and regenerative future – opening up a new world of possibilities. And in order to connect such an ecosystem of Internets, a healthy and fair financial system with a strong, stable currency is key.
-
-
-
-As the glocal concept will be rolled out, the ThreeFold Token will unfold its [potential](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-is-the-real-value-of-tft/3143) and flourish. The Internet of Internets empowers people to build their own regional Internet infrastructures and will become a huge stimulator for the TFT economy. Every Regional Internet will have its own self-sustaining liquidity pool, validators, and regional digital currencies – with TFT acting as the reserve currency of the entire decentralized system. It is the currency needed to transfer between all the different Regional Internets via liquidity pools. TFT is also the currency of the main ThreeFold Blockchain.

-## The Internet of Internets as a Catalyst for Token Growth
-
-ThreeFold is not only for believers in open source and decentralization. ThreeFold, and TFT, are needed. TFT is [much more](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-is-the-real-value-of-tft/3143) than a simple token. It energizes the ThreeFold Grid and the [expansion](https://threefold.io/blog/four_phases_of_threefold/) of a truly decentralized Internet. There are many new ecosystem developments, tech advancements and building blocks for the Internet of Internets happening all around.
-
-
-
-The realization of the Internet of Internets combined with the previously mentioned burning and [scarcity](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__tft_limited_supply) mechanisms will trigger basic supply-and-demand mechanisms. The limited token supply will meet a rising demand for TFT. The token will be needed to buy and reserve current or future Internet capacity and services on our Grid as well as for driving the rollout and expansion of the Internet of Internets – establishing the global Internets of Internets alone will require billions of TFT. In addition to that, TFT will be needed to access the [FreeFlow Twin](https://forum.threefold.io/t/lets-test-out-freeflow-twin-beta-formerly-uhuru/3299/12) (formerly known as Uhuru) and to deploy workloads on the Grid, e.g. through weblets on the [TF Playground](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-product-focus-series-tf-playground-v3-7-0/3315/3). All in all, there will be a natural economic demand for TFT.

-
-*Please note that the ThreeFold Token ([TFT](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__threefold_token)) is not an investment instrument. TFT represents IT capacity on the [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__threefold_grid), farmers create TFT, developers use TFT. Also, this is not investment advice, everyone is free to make their own choices. So, do your own research and read our [disclaimer](https://library.threefold.me/info/legal/#/legal__disclaimer).*

-## About Stellar & Its Role for the ThreeFold Token
-
-Launched in 2014, [Stellar](https://www.stellar.org/) is an open network for storing, moving and trading any kind of money transparently and efficiently. The [decentralized system](https://www.stellar.org/learn/intro-to-stellar) enables users “to create, send, and trade digital representations of all forms of money” in a faster, cheaper and more energy-efficient way – facilitating millions of transactions on a daily basis.
-
-
-
-In [2020](https://threefold.io/news/post/stellar/), ThreeFold decided to move the [ThreeFold Token](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__token_what) (TFT) to Stellar from Rivine (a transactional blockchain created by ThreeFold), which still is the main blockchain for the minting of TFT and the distribution of farming rewards. Internet capacity provisioning and workload deployments are executed via [TF Chain](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_chain/). Therefore, [bridges](https://threefold.io/blog/bridges_connecting_threefold_ecosystem/) between Stellar and TF Chain were established to facilitate payments.

-
-## Why we chose Stellar & What the Network offers
-
-We were and still are big fans of Stellar. Over the last two years, we’ve had a great experience with Stellar. And we believe everything we need for a healthy financial ecosystem is already available on Stellar.
-
-
-
-The Stellar Network is faster, more cost-effective and more energy-efficient than usual blockchain-based systems. It’s a huge, highly reliable network that integrates a multitude of digital currencies and provides good liquidity. In addition to that, we share the same values and a similar vision: Stellar and ThreeFold are both open source, looking to empower humanity and striving towards building fair, inclusive systems.
-
-
-
-Stellar has a lot to offer, including:
-
-#### On/Off Ramps
-
-* Stellar helps exchanges with enabling compliant [on/off ramps](https://resources.stellar.org/stellar-for-exchanges) and thereby opens up exchanges’ access to new markets, users and services
-* Stellar does so through native and interoperable on/off-ramps within the Stellar Network, called anchors
-* All exchanges have to do is integrate assets like [Stellar USDC](https://www.stellar.org/usdc)
-
-#### Order Books
-
-* Stellar has a built-in decentralized exchange, SDEX, which enables users to place orders to buy or sell one Stellar-network asset for another
-* These orders are aggregated into so-called [order books](https://stellar.org/blog/introducing-automated-market-makers-on-stellar) and prioritized for execution based on price
-* The order book model is very established – it's the same model used by traditional exchanges where users trade forex or cryptocurrencies
-* In general, order books on decentralized money chains are pretty straightforward, while basically offering the same functionalities as centralized exchanges
-* The order book on Stellar is relatively small but as people start using it it will get bigger, there is no downside compared to Liquid
-* TFT is also available on order books on [Stellar USDC](https://www.stellar.org/usdc)
-
-#### Automated Market Makers (AMMs)
-
-* As of [November 2021](https://www.stellar.org/developers-blog/protocol-18-upgrade-complete), Stellar natively supports the creation of AMMs to improve liquidity and to thereby make cross-border payments fast, cheap, and highly usable
-* AMMs [coexist alongside](https://stellar.org/blog/introducing-automated-market-makers-on-stellar) the SDEX as an alternate source of liquidity
-* They democratize access by making the process of [providing liquidity](https://stellar.org/blog/amms-in-the-stellar-ecosystem) accessible, simple, and inclusive while making asset conversion more efficient
-* While users trade against other users’ existing orders in the order book model, users trade against a liquidity pool with AMMs
-* AMMs on Stellar are a great opportunity to provide easily accessible liquidity at scale, especially for markets that are new and/or overlooked by traditional market makers, as issuers of an asset on Stellar don’t have to rely on market makers anymore – with AMMs, they can set up liquidity pools and enable individuals to provide liquidity
-* Small fees incur when trading against a liquidity pool to incentivize liquidity providers
-
-#### Wallets
-
-Stellar provides a number of different [wallets](https://www.stellar.org/ecosystem/projects?tab=wallets#Wallets) with various functionalities, both hardware and software wallets, to make it really simple for users to enter the Stellar Network – from LOBSTR and Solar to StellarX and Trezor.
-
-
-
-So, as you can see, Stellar offers multiple great solutions and basically everything we need. It’s all there – order books, AMMs, wallets, and more – and it’s decentralized! Now, we only have to start building our own liquidity on Stellar.
-
-
-
-Since every asset and currency starts with zero liquidity when issued on Stellar, it is up to the community to put capital onto the Stellar Network and to put that capital to use for trading, e.g. by creating orders on the order books, to build liquidity on Stellar – i.e. to create and sustain a healthy market for TFT. Therefore, we encourage you all to choose Stellar as the primary platform to trade TFT. If all of us together put our liquidity there, we’ll be able to create a very healthy TFT ecosystem, and thereby also attract others to get involved in TFT. Actually, this is a great chance for us to take back control of and strengthen the token – without any interferences or manipulations from centralized exchanges. Together, we build.
-
-
-
-*[Stellar USDC](https://www.stellar.org/usdc) brings the world’s fastest-growing USD stablecoin to Stellar, an incredibly efficient and fast network. Through Stellar USDC, a fully-backed and trusted digital US Dollar asset, dollars can now move anywhere and to anyone, across borders, and be immediately converted into and out of the world’s currencies. Learn more about how it works [here](https://www.stellar.org/usdc-get-started).*
-
-## How to Buy TFT with Stellar
-
-Basically, selling and buying TFT is possible via all the above and below mentioned interfaces and wallets within the Stellar Network through [Stellar USDC](https://www.stellar.org/usdc). We currently recommend the following ways to [buy TFT on Stellar](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__tft_stellar_dex):
-
-
-
-* [Freighter](https://www.freighter.app/) is a non-custodial Stellar wallet extension that enables you to sign Stellar transactions via your browser
-
-
-
-* [LOBSTR](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__lobstr_wallet) is a leading platform for managing all assets issued on the Stellar Network. It’s a simple and secure Stellar wallet that allows you to buy TFT trading pairs with a credit card and MoneyGram
-
-
-
-* [StellarTerm](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__tft_stellarterm) is an open-source client that allows users to easily send, receive and trade assets on the Stellar Network
-
-
-
-* [Solar](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__solar_wallet) is a secure, open and free Stellar wallet with features like multi-signature accounts, asset management, and more
-
-
-
-* [Interstellar](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__tft_interstellar) provides a complete digital currency experience to easily create, send, receive, swap and trade digital currencies and other tokenonized assets
-
-
-
-Visit the linked library pages to find detailed step-by-step guides for all methods. Please note we are working on making these resources as clear as possible. So, feel free to ask any questions around how to buy TFT with Stellar on [the forum](https://forum.threefold.io/c/threefold-token/getting-tft/33), or bring suggestions.
-
-## What’s next for TFT
-
-One of our key objectives is to make TFT more accessible. Already, there are many options to [buy and sell TFT](https://www.manual.grid.tf/documentation/threefold_token/buy_sell_tft/tft_lobstr/tft_lobstr_short_guide.html) – like [gettft.com](https://gettft.com/) or Stellar’s DEX, and more coming soon. We’re also exploring the feasibility and synergies for a meaningful partnership with Algorand – including making TFT available on Algorand order books.
-
-
-
-And the team is doing some incredible work on developing our own financial technologies, including the [Liquidity Pool concept and the P2P Wallet](http://liquidity.threefold.me/), both expected by early next year. We’ll be sharing more about what these solutions will look like soon here on the blog.

-
-ThreeFold farming refers to the act of connecting a 3Node to the ThreeFold Grid – providing Internet capacity to a globally distributed peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure. Farming is a decentralized and energy-efficient way for people to expand a new Internet infrastructure instead of corporations building hyper-scale data centers. It’s also a way to extend the Internet to underserved regions of our planet, which cannot afford data centers. Every ThreeFold Farmer around the world contributes to the growth of the foundation for a self-sovereign, private and secure digital world.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Anyone can start farming by hosting a computer at their home or office and taking part in the decentralization of our global Internet and Cloud economy.
-
-## Why become a ThreeFold Farmer?
-
-Today’s Internet model is highly centralized, owned and operated by the few. It has turned people into products, is too harmful for our planet, cannot scale to meet emerging demands and connect the billions who are being left behind. These alone are powerful reasons to participate in ThreeFold farming and participate in the growth of a new peer-to-peer Internet economy.
-
-
-
-Further, the Internet is the second largest and fastest growing industry in the world after the financial markets. With the Internet expected to triple in size by 2025 to meet the data requirements of emerging technologies such as blockchain, Web3 and IoT, we need more capacity and especially in underserved regions of the world.
-
-## Basics of ThreeFold Farming
-
-ThreeFold is a peer-to-peer network of computers (known as “3Nodes”), including servers, desktops and laptops, that creates an open-source, decentralized Internet. People who connect computers to the ThreeFold Grid (known as “farmers”) are rewarded with ThreeFold Tokens (TFT) on a monthly basis for meeting the required uptime necessary for users to access their workloads.
-
-
-
-The process of connecting decentralized Internet capacity and thereby creating new ThreeFold Tokens is described as farming because it resembles the process of farming in agriculture. With agricultural farming, farmers cultivate the land and earn revenue from their harvests. With ThreeFold, farmers connect decentralized Internet capacity and earn ThreeFold Tokens every month for achieving a certain uptime.
-
-
-
-The above model represents the building block for a distributed, edge infrastructure that can scale to anywhere electricity and network exists, to meet emerging data demands while also providing the self-sovereignty, privacy and security features to achieve true net-neutrality.
-
-## A Fair Economic Model
-
-ThreeFold was created to realize the promise of an open-source, peer-to-peer Internet. As such, ThreeFold farming rewards all farmers equally according to the amount of Internet capacity they provide to the network.
-
-
-
-ThreeFold Tokens are rewarded for the amount of Internet capacity added and kept connected to the network. [Farming rewards](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__farming_reward) are calculated according to the compute, storage and network capacity made available by the computers:
-
-
-
-- 30 TFT per Compute Unit (2 vCPU and 4 GB memory) per month
-- 12.5 TFT per Storage Unit (1 TB of SSD and HDD) per month
-- 0.38 TFT per Network Unit (1 GB of data transfer)
-- 0.06 TFT per public IP address per hour
-
-
-
-The above prices are based on the price of 1 TFT equalling $0.08. The farming rewards are pegged to the U.S Dollar and the price is locked from the time a farmer gets started to incentivize early contributors to the network. When the price of TFT rises, the farming rewards will decrease.
-
-
-
-Farming rewards are designed to be “reviewed” by [the ThreeFold DAO](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/decentralization/dao/threefold__tfdao) (a decentralized autonomous organization owned by the ThreeFold community) according to the growth of the ThreeFold Grid and the utilization of its decentralized cloud to ensure a fair distribution of the token economy while also ensuring that farmers will always be justly rewarded for their contribution.
-
-## An innovative and sustainable solution
-
-Bitcoin mining and other blockchains became famous for requiring enormous amounts of computers and power to solve complex mathematical equations to win the chance of earning the famous cryptocurrency. Since then, many other projects have been born and carried on the mining concept.
-
-
-
-ThreeFold’s model is inclusive and planet-friendly. The decentralized operating system built and used by ThreeFold is extremely lightweight, allowing the peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure to be up-to 10x more energy efficient than the data center model and up-to 100x more energy efficient than Bitcoin mining.
-
-
-
-The infrastructure was built in such a way that it removes the need for human intervention or maintenance to eliminate all unnecessary backdoors that open the possibility for ransomware and cyberattacks. Once booted, the decentralized operating system runs forever as the whole infrastructure was designed to be self-driving and self-healing. This 100% autonomous model allows for a completely decentralized system while also enhancing the security and privacy.
-
-
-
-While blockchain remains an incredible store of value, it is neither an efficient nor a scalable solution to store data and run applications. Only a peer–to-peer model can scale the Internet infinitely and efficiently.
-
-## Considerations before getting started
-
-The following are important factors to consider for ThreeFold farming profitability:
-
-### Computer Hardware
-
-Farmers are encouraged to use the latest computers, including servers, desktops, and laptops that come with an AMD and Intel processor. The computer should have at least 1 Terabyte of SSD to optimize the performance of their farming activity. It is recommended to buy a ThreeFold 3Node server from certified partners around the globe that comes pre-configured and ready to run on the Grid.
-
-
-
-Used or refurbished computers can be used but it is important to understand that older computers are less efficient and more power-hungry. Computers not older than 4 years are recommended. Please visit [the DIY section of our forum](https://forum.threefold.io/c/farming/diy-farming/43) for support and feedback on farming setups.
-
-### Power Costs
-
-Electrical power is the main operating expense. Electricity is charged per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The cost of farming can float from $0.10 to $0.35 per kWh. It is important for a farmer to verify the expected power usage of a computer before starting the operation to improve profitability.
-
-
-
-*Note that the price of kWh varies depending on the country. Find a country power cost average comparison [here](https://www.electricrate.com/data-center/electricity-prices-by-country/).*
-
-### ThreeFold Token Price
-
-An incentive to farm ThreeFold Tokens is because of its future potential. What Bitcoin did to money, ThreeFold is doing to the Internet. While Bitcoin and Etheruem have already reached high market caps, ThreeFold is just getting started.
-
-
-
-Farmers are rewarded a given amount of TFT monthly based on the amount of Internet capacity they provide to the network.
-
-
-
-If the price of TFT is $0.1, the profitability of the farm will be average. If the price of TFT is $0.3 your farming operation may operate with healthy rewards. If the price of TFT is $1 your farming operation will be highly rewarding.
-
-
-
-Farming rewards are also locked until 30% utilization for a period of 2 years to incentivize early participants. The earlier you start your farming operation, the greater the rewards along with the growth in the value of TFT.
-
-
-
-The right mix of the above elements make farming an attractive venture. If the variables are favorable, farmers can scale up operations and earn more rewards.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Anyone can start farming by hosting a computer at their home or office and take part in the decentralization of our global Internet and Cloud economy. Considering ThreeFold’s market cap alongside the growing demand for a decentralized Internet, there’s no better time than now to get started farming!

-Do you remember when you could create your own safe space and decide what others see and know? Now, whether you are at home, in the middle of a city, or hiking a mountain, you’re never really alone. More and more, the technology we used is connected to the internet. Cars, fridges, energy meters, even baby monitors send out data about you and your family 24/7 beyond your control.
-
-
-
-## Behind the scene
-
-
-
-This data is collected for spurious purposes: to better predict your behaviour and target you with ads. The targeted advertising ecosystem, using trackers included in the sites you visit and Software Development Kits (SDKs) in the apps you use, aims to get a better picture of you to present you with more relevant ads.
-
-
-
-But it doesn't stop there. The ad tech ecosystem has one main feature: connecting companies to you through an opaque and technically complex infrastructure, allowing almost anyone to enter the data collection and exchange market. Moreover, this means any companies can participate in processes such as Real-Time Bidding (an automated process that enables advertisers to target particular groups of people on different websites, videos, apps without having to negotiate prices directly), only to collect data and never display ads.
-
-
-
-This means that companies, such as two AdTech companies that track your activities on a different set of sites, can grab data from each other to consolidate the data and profiles they have on people. Consequently, companies participating in this ecosystem (or sometimes on their own) can sell your data to clients that may not be using it to try and sell you stuff. This is the unhealthy and unsustainable digital cycle that we live in.
-
-
-
-Given these examples, it is not hard to imagine that your personal data can be used to influence the price of products and services proposed to you, particularly from companies and institutions.
-
-
-
-So, let's join forces together and, as a community, reclaim our freedom and get back ownership of your data. With Digital Twin, you are at the centre of your digital world. No one else.

-## You are unique
-
-During a gathering with some friends, I noticed something that made me think about how important it is what we’re doing at ThreeFold.
-
-
-One of my friends was complaining about how he couldn’t log in to one of his social media platforms, because all of his passwords are different and he forgot which one he used for this particular platform. Another friend was saying how she tagged her sister on a funny meme, but her sister couldn’t find it on Facebook. Turns out she tagged her on Instagram. And then one of them said something that I keep hearing more and more from people, “Why do we have so many apps, I can’t find anything anymore!”
-
-
-We exist so many times online, but why? There is only one me in the real world. Why should there not be only one me online? Why should I have 25 different profiles on 25 different platforms, with 25 different logins, when I am unique?
-
-
-That is another dilemma that ThreeFold has a solution for, with its autonomous technology. 3Bot - a digital avatar like no other, that basically handles your entire online life. The focus lies on digital privacy, where only you can access your data, and no one else. The 3Bot has all the functionalities you need to interact and exchange information and value, there will be no need for that many applications on your device anymore. With 3Bot, everything changes.
-
-
-The 3Bot is built on the ThreeFold Grid, and has the same values as ThreeFold. Freedom, Equality, and Sustainability. It is important that your data is safe, and what can be safer than you being the only one who not only has access to it, but also the only one who owns that data? Your online world should not be that different from your offline world. In your offline world, you are the center of your own life. That is what ThreeFold is doing with the 3Bot, putting you in the center of your online life, too.
-
-
-One decentralized application, one digital wallet, one login and one you. Because you’re unique.

-"A 3node becomes a gateway when a Threefold farmer adds a public IP address to the node itself on the Threefold Dashboard. In doing so, the IP address is then handed over to the base operating system of the node itself. The IP address can then be used in the overall functions of the TF Grid."

-You can configure your 3Nodes to become 'gateway nodes' in a few simple steps. Find out how by watching [Drew's video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axvKipK7MQM&feature=youtu.be) about it, or by reading [Mik's summary](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-is-a-3node-gateway-how-can-i-configure-a-3node-as-a-gateway-node/3766) of the video - or doing both!

-CasperLabs and ThreeFold have a shared belief that decentralization is needed in order to build a better tomorrow. According to [CasperLabs](https://casperlabs.io/en/company), decentralization is "how we will create more open, transparent, permissionless networks powered by people — paving the way for a new era of equitable innovation."
-
-
-Today, ThreeFold is thrilled to announce a collaborative partnership with CasperLabs. Together, we will further CasperLabs' decentralization efforts while accelerating a collective mission and vision of more equally distributing global wealth and resources – doing so through creating more opportunity for people and enterprises around the world, without limits.
-
-
-
-_"ThreeFold and CasperLabs share a commitment to making web3 environments more accessible to all developers," says Neil Kapoor of CasperLabs. "Now that Casper is live on mainnet, we look forward to collaborating with ThreeFold to deliver a truly scalable, secure and decentralized IT infrastructure for enterprise organizations building innovative, blockchain-based solutions."_
-
-
-
-Through the partnership, developers and enterprises building on top of Casper technology will be able to choose to run on ThreeFold's [Peer-to-Peer Cloud](https://threefold.io/cloud) for storage and compute resources. This will enable them to achieve security and scalability beyond what the centralized cloud providers can offer today.
-
-
-On a smaller scale, anyone will be able to contribute to Casper's blockchain security, resiliency, scalability and decentralization, by deploying a Casper Validator node on the ThreeFold Grid in just a few clicks. The ThreeFold deployment mechanism removes all technical complexity of running Blockchain nodes.
-
-
-
-_From ThreeFold co-founder Adnan Fatayerji, "We are extremely excited about our partnership with CasperLabs. Their platform is designed with simplicity and scale to drive global adoption amongst enterprises and developers. ThreeFold fits perfectly as a decentralized substrate (storage and compute) to provide all Casper customers with a truly decentralized, secure, and scalable alternative to current cloud providers."_
-

-🩺 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)!

-🦣 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!

-[Dash](https://www.dash.org) / [Dash NEXT](https://dashnext.org/) and the [ThreeFold Foundation](https://threefold.io) are excited to officially announce their collaboration, effective the end of June 2020. Dash and ThreeFold are community-driven organizations focused on peer-to-peer solutions that strive for decentralization and the empowerment of humanity.
-
-
-
-Dash / Dash NEXT and ThreeFold will work together on developer projects on the ThreeFold Grid. The Dash developer community, and anyone interested in contributing to the Dash Blockchain, is being invited to use a truly decentralized and affordable cloud alternative - [ThreeFold P2P Cloud](http://cloud.threefold.io). Developers can now deploy their Dash nodes and IT workloads on the ThreeFold Grid with an autonomous execution via [Smart Contracts for IT](https://library.threefold.me/info/sdk/#/smart_contract).
-
-
-
-Further, community members are being invited to explore possibilities in using the ThreeFold Grid’s capacity and peer-to-peer cloud for their own personal computing needs and projects. Anyone interested in being a node operator in the Dash Blockchain using the ThreeFold Grid would be highly encouraged to get started in a few steps following this [documentation](https://forum.threefold.io/t/deploy-a-dash-node-in-5-steps-on-the-threefold-grid/509).
-
-
-Adnan Fatayerji, co-founder at ThreeFold, enthusiastically expressed his excitement working with the Dash developer community, “We are extremely excited about our collaboration with Dash [and Dash NEXT], a global name in decentralized transactions. We look forward to empowering their developer community with access to a global substrate of peer-to-peer storage and compute. Together we will drive financial and Internet inclusion to the edge of the network!”
-
-
-
-The Dash community and any individual or organization interested in contributing to Dash are now empowered to deploy their Dash MasterNodes and any containerized IT workload using the [ThreeFold P2P Cloud](http://cloud.threefold.io), and benefit from an autonomous execution via [Smart Contracts for IT](https://library.threefold.me/info/sdk/#/smart_contract). Dash’s community is incentivized to get started with free compute and storage capacities offered by ThreeFold.
-
-
-Felix Mago, Co-Founder at Dash NEXT shared his enthusiasm around that opportunity: “We are excited to have ThreeFold as a partner as they are enabling us to host Dash Masternodes in a decentralized manner.”

-
-### About Dash:
-
-Dash is an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency with a strong focus on the payments industry. Dash offers a form of money that is portable, inexpensive, divisible and fast. It can be spent securely both online and in-person with only minimal transaction fees. Based on the Bitcoin project, Dash aims to be the most user-friendly and scalable payments system in the world.
-
-
-
-In addition to Bitcoin’s feature set, Dash currently also offers instant transactions ([InstantSend](https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/introduction/features.html#instantsend)), private transactions ([PrivateSend](https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/introduction/features.html#privatesend)) and operates a self-governing and self-funding model that enables the Dash network to pay individuals and businesses for work that adds value to the network. This [decentralized governance and budgeting system](https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/governance/index.html#governance) makes it one of the first ever successful decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO).
-
-### About ThreeFold:
-
-ThreeFold has developed the largest and most advanced peer-to-peer Internet grid in the world. They launched the [ThreeFold Grid](https://explorer.grid.tf/) V2.0 in April 2020 – a more performant, private & secure, affordable, and sustainable solution than centralized cloud and internet providers.
-
-
-With a collective and incentivized ecosystem of Farmers (independent Internet capacity providers) around the globe, the ThreeFold Grid is now open for developers to build on top of it, and users can now benefit from all the advantages of the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-The ThreeFold Foundation aims to empower a more equal, autonomous (decentralized) and sustainable world, and does so by providing the necessary peer-to-peer technologies and infrastructure to the world, while incentivizing growth in developing regions.

-The [DigiByte Foundation](https://digibytefoundation.io/) and the [ThreeFold Foundation](https://threefold.io) are aligned – both focused on values, working towards their visions and missions in creating a truly decentralized, equal, and sustainable world that empowers humanity. Doing good for the planet is at the core of both organizations' DNA.
-
-
-Today, DigiByte and ThreeFold are pleased to officially announce their collaborative partnership.
-
-
-DigiByte and ThreeFold will work together on developer and user projects on the ThreeFold Grid. The DigiByte developer community, and anyone interested in contributing to the DigiByte Blockchain, is being invited to use a more decentralized and affordable cloud computing capacity. Developers can now deploy their DigiByte nodes and IT workloads on the ThreeFold Grid with an autonomous execution via [Smart Contracts for IT](https://library.threefold.me/info/sdk/#/smart_contract).
-
-
-Further, community members are also being invited to explore possibilities in using the ThreeFold Grid’s capacity for their own personal computing needs and projects. Anyone interested in being a node operator in the DigiByte Blockchain using the ThreeFold Grid would be highly encouraged to get started in a few steps following [the documentation](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-to-deploy-a-digibyte-node-with-your-3bot-in-5-steps/379).
-
-
-The ThreeFold team is very proud to welcome The DigiByte Foundation to the [Conscious Internet Alliance](https://consciousinternet.org) initiative led by ThreeFold, where together with many other planet and human-centric projects, they will collaborate on making our global Internet neutral again.
-
-### About DigiByte:
-[DigiByte](https://digibyte.io/) is a rapidly-growing open-source blockchain created in late 2013 and released in early 2014. After 6 years of forward-thinking development, DigiByte has become one of the safest, fastest, longest and most decentralized UTXO blockchain in existence with one of the most active communities in the Crypto and Blockchain space
-
-
-The DigiByte Foundation is a volunteer-managed organization that operates in a non-profit way. They protect and promote the true principles of decentralization and empower DigiByte and its community to establish and maintain a sustainable decentralized world.
-
-### About ThreeFold:
-ThreeFold has developed the largest and most advanced peer-to-peer Internet grid in the world. They launched the ThreeFold Grid V2.0 in April 2020 – a more performant, private & secure, affordable, and sustainable solution than centralized cloud and internet providers.
-
-
-With a collective and incentivized ecosystem of Farmers (independent Internet capacity providers) around the globe, the [ThreeFold Grid](https://explorer.grid.tf/) is now open for developers to build on top of it, and users can now benefit from all the advantages of the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-The ThreeFold Foundation aims to empower a more equal, autonomous (decentralized) and sustainable world, and does so by providing the necessary peer-to-peer technologies and infrastructure to the world, while incentivizing growth in developing regions.

-
-Via Scott, “Even with the growth of the Grid, we have seen utilization growth outpace it such that total utilization has also increased in percentage terms, though a bit less dramatically than the absolute numbers. Here’s to another year of growth for ThreeFold in 2023 🥂”

-As we shared [last week](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tfgrid-power-management-feature-for-3-8-1/3721), the power management feature is in development. Today, we have a short update directly from the team responsible for it:
-
-
-
-“The farmerbot has actors – node (for anything node related) and power (for anything power related) – which are able to execute what we call jobs. Jobs are actions or methods that can be done or executed by an actor. One of them is the ‘find node’ action, which finds a node that can fit the required resources for a specific deployment. While doing that, it will power on the node if it is off. Every five minutes, the farmerbot fetches information about the nodes (calling the nodes directly). With that information it is able to shut down nodes automatically that are not being used.
-
-
-
-The implementation is now mostly done. The communication between farmerbot, nodes, and tfchain is not yet complete. An exact estimate for completion is hard to provide as there are many variables, but we are working as quickly as we can.”
-
-
-
-_Thanks to the team for their efforts on this long-awaited feature!_

-🗳 **Action Requested: Grid Enhancement Proposal**
-
-
-
-Hi friends, particularly those in the farming community –
-
-
-
-As you many of you know by now, we came across a bug in the minting code which had a negative effect on some nodes on the TF Grid during last month's minting.
-
-
-
-First of all, we want to thank the ThreeFold community for the way they reached out to us in regards to this. 🙏
-
-
-
-These events sparked a discussion on the current uptime requirements and as a result of that, **we created [a forum post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/upgrade-proposal-for-minting-code-v3-2/2447) with a poll where the community can vote** on the changes as suggested.
-
-
-
-Please note that the poll will be closed on Friday March 18th at 8AM CET. If a minimum of 60% positive votes are achieved, we will implement these changes as soon as we can.
-
-
-
-All the best,
-
-
-
-ThreeFold Team

-🚨 **Update & Next Steps: The First Grid Enhancement Proposal**
-
-
-
-Dear all,
-
-
-
-We would like to thank the community for the support on last week’s [Grid Enhancement Proposal](https://forum.threefold.io/t/upgrade-proposal-for-minting-code-v3-2/2447). We are happy to announce that with 97% positive votes, we are now moving forward with this proposal and implementing all of the mentioned points as soon as possible.
-
-
-
-Please keep in mind that this code adjustment on uptime requirements, as well as the rectification of last month’s payout (including the changed uptime requirements), will take some time.
-
-
-
-1. Any missing payout for last months minting period - payout ASAP
-2. Minting payout for March 2022 - payout 8th of April
-
-
-
-As stated on the Grid Enhancement Proposal post, payout will happen on the 8th of April instead of the 5th of April to give us some more time to verify the process.
-
-
-
-Kind regards,
-
-
-

-[Harmony](https://www.harmony.one) and the [ThreeFold Foundation](https://threefold.io) are aligned in their focus on empowering an equal and fair world. Doing good for the planet and humanity is at the core of both organizations' DNA. Today, Harmony and ThreeFold are pleased to officially announce their collaborative partnership.
-
-
-Harmony and ThreeFold will work together on developer and user projects on the [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/grid_why) and [Pangaea](https://docs.harmony.one/pangaea/). Harmony’s developer community, and anyone interested in contributing to their Blockchain and being a validator within the Harmony staking ecosystem, is being invited to use a more decentralized, performant and affordable [Peer-to-Peer Cloud](https://cloud.threefold.io/) solution brought by ThreeFold.
-
-
-Developers can now deploy their nodes and any IT workloads on Pangaea and the ThreeFold Grid with an autonomous execution via [Smart Contracts for IT](https://library.threefold.me/info/sdk/#/smart_contract). Anyone interested in being a node operator, as a validator, in the Harmony Blockchain using the ThreeFold Grid, is invited to get started in a few steps following this [documentation](https://forum.threefold.io/t/setting-up-a-harmony-node-on-the-threefold-grid/476).
-
-
-From ThreeFold Co-Founder Adnan Fatayerji,
-
-
-*"We’re super excited about our partnership with Harmony. Their approach to decentralization of applications and transactions perfectly couples with our approach of trying to bring an inclusive Internet. Together we will form a big powerhouse for positive change in this world."*
-
-
-ThreeFold and Harmony look forward to the further development of this collaboration.

-### About Harmony
-
-[Harmony](https://www.harmony.one) is a fast and open blockchain for decentralized applications. Its protocol has achieved secure and random state sharding, being the first sharded Proof of Stake on production. Harmony's Mainnet supports thousands of nodes in multiple shards, producing blocks in a few seconds with instant finality. The network's staking mechanism reduces centralization while supporting stake delegation, reward compounding and double-sign slashing. Harmony aims to build an open network of nodes operated and governed by a large community. Harmony has designed a novel Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism for network security and economics - Effective Proof-of-Stake (EPoS) which reduces centralization and distributes rewards fairly to thousands of validators.
-
-### About ThreeFold

-Last month, we went live with Titan V2.1, and we're thrilled to count +1,000 orders already from all over the world.
-
-
-While orders keep on coming in, we are happy to launch the Certified Farming Program. Certification brings more security to 3Nodes and hence to the ThreeFold Grid, while also providing more rewards to Farmers.
-
-## More Security For Everyone
-
-While anyone can connect hardware to the ThreeFold Grid, some workloads require the highest level of security standards. Certified hardware can only be booted by Zero-OS and allows for 100% tamper-proof capacity. With certification, ThreeFold is pushing the limits further and creating a new global standard for hardware security.
-
-
-There are key benefits for Farmers to certify their capacity:
-
-
-
-- Get a certified capacity label: Some developers and enterprises will seek for the highest levels of security. With the certified label, you will be able to provide capacity for their workloads at a higher price.
-- Improved hardware security: While DIY farming already provides incredible security, certified farming is 100% tamper-proof. Now you can bring more security to the ThreeFold Grid and to the people using it.
-
-
-
-We're building a more secure future for our digital lives. This will happen!

-**Today, Liquid announced “the closing of a US$120,000,000 debt financing” from FTX Trading Ltd, owner and operator of top tier exchange FTX**, and “that they have entered good faith discussions in pursuit of further collaborative opportunities.”

-While we cannot speculate on what these further collaborative opportunities might be and how they could impact tokens listed on Liquid, it is certainly good news for Liquid to have such support from FTX.

-
-With the forthcoming launch of ThreeFold Grid 3.0 later this year, the world is set to go peer-to-peer. With many use-cases being lined up, we updated the Farming Rewards to incentivize Farmers to expand the ThreeFold Grid further across the world.
-
-## New Farming Logic - Introducing Network Rewards
-
-The new Farming Rewards logic can be found [**HERE**](https://threefold.io/info/threefold#/threefold__farming_reward).
-
-
-You will see that the farming rewards were simplified, and are now calculated according to the compute and storage units (CU & SU) provided to the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-Also, as of this summer, Farmers will be able to earn more TFT for the Network traffic happening on their 3Nodes. The amount of data coming in and out of their CU and SU will determine extra rewards in the form of Network Units (NU).
-
-
-
-- Certified NU: 0.3 TFT per GB per month
-- DIY NU: 0.2 TFT per GB per month
-
-## How do I get Certified?
-
-All 3Nodes bought from ThreeFold after June 5 2021 are eligible for certified farming. We will send instructions to everyone that purchased a Titan v2.1 on how to upgrade to a certified 3Node next week.
-
-
-For people that already bought an earlier batch of nodes, we are thinking of a solution for becoming certified, as our hardware partners need the physical 3Node to certify the hardware.
-
-## Important notes
-
-- All certified hardware is 100% dedicated to the ThreeFold Grid. While DIY nodes can be booted with a different Operating System, this is not possible with a Certified 3Node.
-- All certified hardware is automatically subject to the 3.0 Farming Logic. Read more [**HERE**](https://threefold.io/info/threefold#/threefold__farming_reward).

-
-1. The long-awaited [Farmerbot feature is now ready for testing](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tf-grid-3-9-farmer-bot-on-qanet/3842) on QA Net. Get involved in testing and offering feedback to help the push to mainnet. Thanks to the team for the release and to the community for your patience.
-
-
-
-2. The first 3Node webshop outside of the marketplace [opened in Europe](https://forum.threefold.io/t/first-3node-webshop-outside-martketplace-opened-today-in-europe/3841). Kudos to Robert / HostService for the launch. From Robert: "We thank the Threefold team for their trust and applaud them for decentralising their project even more with this step. This allows us to provide even better and more efficient services and we are celebrating this by offering FREE SHIPPING in Europe."

-
-Based on their shared commitment to data sovereignty and open alternatives, ownCloud and ThreeFold have agreed to enter into a strategic partnership to advance the decentralization of the consumer cloud. ownCloud is an open-source file sync, share and content collaboration software that lets teams work on data easily from anywhere, on any device. ThreeFold is developing a peer-to-peer Internet platform that aims to liberalize what it labels as a centralized and unequally distributed Internet.
-
-## Now available: ownCloud on the ThreeFold Grid
-
-The first step in the partnership is **the launch of the [ownCloud](https://www.owncloud.com) instance on the ThreeFold Grid – [demoed live](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZkpsG6dQvw) at ownCloud Conference 2021** – and **the development of a pilot program (register your interest by emailing testowncloud@threefold.io)**. The long-term vision is **a full range of file sync, file sharing and content collaboration solutions** that combine the strengths of both technologies. ThreeFold and ownCloud are excited to develop complementary offerings that reflect their shared beliefs in open standards and digital sovereignty.
-
-
-
-*"ownCloud is partnering with ThreeFold to deliver a solution for customers with the demand for data sovereignty, privacy, and ultra-security of their data assets. ownCloud powered by ThreeFold Grid delivers on these exact attributes offering a truly decentralized, secure and scalable infrastructure to complement the proven and globally adopted ownCloud collaboration platform," Joerg Eberwein, VP Partners & Alliances, ownCloud GmbH.*
-
-## Decentralized infrastructure
-
-[ThreeFold](https://threefold.io) built the world’s most decentralized, secure and scalable digital infrastructure. They already have the largest decentralized cloud infrastructure in the world with about 80,000,000 GB deployed across 50 countries, and counting. The ThreeFold Cloud represents the first fully comprehensive decentralized cloud and is integrated with industry-leading tools and protocols for a seamless transition towards web3. Anything that runs on Linux can run on ThreeFold, but better.
-
-
-
-*"ownCloud powered by ThreeFold offers a purposeful use case of the ThreeFold Grid and aligns with our mission to ensure data privacy and sovereignty for everyone. Combining the longstanding credibility of ownCloud and the decentralized cloud technology of ThreeFold results in a 1+1=3 value statement," Chris Hutton, Co-Founder, ThreeFold Tech.*
-
-## Hosting via smart contract
-
-ThreeFold allows people to host their own applications anywhere on their decentralized cloud infrastructure via smart contract. This provides a powerful solution for ownCloud users to host their collaboration tools anywhere they want, independently from conventional, centralized cloud providers, and without having to maintain the servers and software themselves.
-
-## Free from censorship and user tracking
-
-ownCloud can be installed anywhere, providing a secure and sovereign alternative to public cloud providers for more than 200 million users worldwide as of today.
-
-
-
-With ownCloud running on the ThreeFold Grid infrastructure, users can manage their "own" cloud on a neutral cloud infrastructure that is free from censorship, user tracking and privacy breaches. This is made possible by Zero-OS, ThreeFold’s stateless and lightweight operating system that allows servers to run autonomously. The self-driving and self-healing features eliminate backdoors and reduce the hacking surface, to keep ownCloud instances secure at all times.
-
-## Joining forces for improved governance, reliability and security
-
-ownCloud and ThreeFold have a history of delivering technical collaborations amongst various projects. While ownCloud excels at delivering secure and private collaboration platforms, ThreeFold offers a robust and flexible large-scale cloud layer. Combining both projects provides new possibilities in regards to governance, reliability and security for users and their data.
-
-
-
-With the highly anticipated 3rd release of ThreeFold's technology expected to launch this quarter, **ownCloud and ThreeFold are preparing a pilot program** to leverage their infrastructure and software expertise to deliver truly self-sovereign collaboration solutions in the world. ownCloud and ThreeFold are currently working out the details of their pilot program, which will be announced at a future date.
-
-
-
-Additionally, the two are **planning a cross-community event**, where community members can learn more about the two technologies and hear further details about the collaboration.
-
-
-
-**Join our beta tester group by sending an email to testowncloud@threefold.io to be amongst the first to try ownCloud on a self-sovereign environment!**

-DUBAI, United Arab Emirates | Real Estate developer Paradise Hills and ThreeFold have announced today their plans to add dedicated servers (3Nodes) to approximately 170 homes in the Paradise Hill project, creating the world’s first neighborhood Cloud Network on the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-
-Through this historic partnership, Paradise Hills Development and ThreeFold aim to provide every homeowner of the gated residence with a pre-installed 3Node, a dedicated server that provides the edge computing and internet storage needed to run decentralized applications and internet services. The initiative will provide residents, businesses, developers and the government with a secure and highly available sovereign cloud infrastructure to store and process their data locally.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-“Paradise Hills is set to become the region’s center for true decentralization and the future of tomorrow’s Internet, essentially setting the standard for real estate developments and homeownership globally,” CEO Shaher Mousli of Paradise Hills Development said about the partnership.
-
-
-
-“This historic collaboration is the first pilot in a series of initiatives by ThreeFold to help expand the digital landscape of the United Arab Emirates (UAE),” says Adnan Fatayerji, co-founder of ThreeFold. “It will support the development of edge computing, smart cities and IoT, showcasing the power of the private sector to build and drive digital empowerment initiatives in support of the Digital Dubai vision set by the Emirates leadership.”
-
-
-
-Over the last decade, “data sovereignty” became a key topic globally, with many countries insisting that any data produced locally should be stored on Internet infrastructures within their borders. By bringing ThreeFold’s decentralized Internet infrastructure to real estate properties such as Paradise Hills, the UAE will be home to the first-of-its-kind, self-sovereign, smart city development in the world.
-
-
-
-"Through simple, secure, and scalable technology, ThreeFold empowers millions to invent and explore new experiences," added ThreeFold co-founder Kristof de Spiegeleer. "We want to empower local businesses, creators, and communities to build a more sustainable and inclusive future.”
-
-
-
-*You and your communities can participate in the expansion and interconnection of the decentralized Internet as well! More information [here](https://threefold.io/farm/)!*

-**Today, we are super excited to share [the roadmap](https://circles.threefold.me/project/despiegk-product_tfgrid3_roadmap/kanban) to ThreeFold Grid v3.0!**
-
-
-**As many of you know, the main focus of ThreeFold these days is to get the grid to version 3.0 and ready for production.**
-
-
-Within, you will find various stories within "swimlanes" that show where our attention is and where it is going. We will be sure to elaborate more on what it all means – the priorities, progress, and also where we can use your support.
-
-
-Be sure to look at [the wiki](https://circles.threefold.me/project/despiegk-product_tfgrid3_roadmap/wiki/home) which is tied to our kanban for more context.

-*PS: The circles tool (see roadmap), which is based on open source Taiga, will be made available as a workload on top of the TF Grid for everyone to use. It’s an amazing tool! We have many circles in which we collaborate internally, with members of the community, and with partner projects (more than 80 people globally) on a day-to-day basis.*

-Yesterday, YouTube influencer [Tactical Investing](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPRC2wIfZtAlzCa_6iKE46w) posted a video to his account "THIS IS HUGE...Better Than Akash Network? *Time Sensitive*" to share about the ThreeFold farming opportunity with his community.
-
-
-And today, he posted another video comparing ThreeFold with Akash Network and Holo. "With a P2P compute lending device, the titanv2 has the potential to make you quite a bit in passive income over the next few years." The videos garnered more than 35,000 views (on the date of this post) and led to the Titan v2 3Node to sell out in a matter of hours.

-## ☎️ Community Tech Call / Q&A Announcement
-
-I wanted to get the invite out early for next weeks community Q&A and tech call. This is a space where the community and the team comes together so you can bring any questions or ideas you may have and we can work together to get your project off the ground!
-
-
-
-Every week our discussions have been driving more and more decentralized development on the the grid and I can’t wait to see what next week brings!
-
-
-
-- You can check out the Invitation to next week's call [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/weekly-community-q-a-and-tech-call-on-monday-january-30-2023-at-12-00-pm-noon-central-us-time/3734).
- - When: _01.30.23 at 13:00 EST / 19:00 CET_
-- You can check out the recording of today's call [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/01-23-23-weekly-community-q-a-and-technical-call-recording/3732/2). Today's call included:
- - How an everyday user can put the power of the grid to work,
- - Creating a solution provider focused on making fundraising simple,
- - And, some simple explanations on Terraform.
-
-
-
-_Look forward to short videos from these calls to make everything more digestible in the near future thanks to the community member who has been volunteering his time to help me refine the production of these call and archive the information that we are gathering._
-
-
-
-## 🔍 Community Development Highlight
-
-You also don't want to miss what Mik (@mp_mik) has been doing to bring Ai to the Threefold Grid, you can check out his AI support bot [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/automating-support-nlp-bot-for-q-a/3057/6).
-
-
-
-He has created a bot that is able to readily intake conversational questions and use a Threefold Specific database of information to answer the users questions. The bot is currently deployed as a Telegram bot and you can find all the instructions to use it in the thread above.
-
-
-
-This truly highlights what everyone can do to make their contribution to the grid:
-
-- All of the hosting and production of these calls,
-- All of the development of Mik's bot,
-- And many other resources that have come to grid in recent weeks are works provided by community members with very little involvement from the development team.
-
-
-
-Look out for my next post!

-
-
-
-In this one, he introduces Umbrel, tells us about what it is and gives us a demo of how to use it on the Grid (since then he also released a [tutorial](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-to-deploying-umbrel-on-the-threefold-grid/3752)). He goes on to explore multiple questions about ThreeFold, including 'How The Grid Can Help Data Security and Sovereignty', 'How Threefold Can Provide a Personal Cloud', and 'How Is Threefold Using Blockchain technology' amongst others. Discussion about how a family, a real estate developer or even a large community can use Threefold to host their own cloud and take back control of their data was also on the agenda!

-
-
-
-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.

-
-
-This is a very exciting step towards true decentralization whereby Grid stakeholders are in direct control of the future of the network!

-We’re in talks with an already-live, large-scale "conscious community" project to create their own independent grid of capacity!
-
-
-Each home and business property would have its own node or nodes, and capacity would be used for a community-specific platform to improve communication, participation, and ease of life for residents – all in a fully private, secure, & efficient way.
-
-
-We're still in the early stages but we’re thrilled to have met this team and to be working towards a partnership that can be an incredible model for many other communities around the world. We will share more as we are able to!

-Since we are now moving more and more to Grid V3, we wanted to explain how [the billing process works](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-deployment-costs-get-calculated/2486) for deployments. Some highlights:
-
-
-
-Grid V3 has implemented a post billing system, meaning you will get billed for the capacity you are using after you have deployed a workload. *No need to spend unnecessarily for capacity you won't need.*
-
-
-
-We also provide [discounts](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tfgrid/pricing/threefold__pricing?id=discount-levels) for workloads if your account has a certain amount of balance. *This way you can enjoy cheaper deployments whilst you are holding TFT in your account.*

-
-Recently, we announced [our plans to go "multichain,"](https://bitcoinist.com/peer-to-peer-internet-threefold-goes-multichain-to-accelerate-token-accessibility/) bringing the ThreeFold Token (TFT) to three popular DeFi ecosystems: Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Ethereum, and Huobi’s ECO Chain. Today, the bridge to BSC is now live, and TFT is available on PancakeSwap!
-
-
-By making TFT more accessible, more of the world is now able to take part in the growth of a peer-to-peer Internet owned by all of us. Members of the ThreeFold community, DeFi enthusiasts, and the Binance community now have another way to access TFT, and can swap it with other BSC-based tokens as they wish.
-
-
-As an added bonus, today we are also pleased to share that anyone can now buy TFT with BTC directly on the ThreeFold Connect app.
-
-## What is ThreeFold all about?
-
-ThreeFold is a quantum-safe peer-to-peer Internet (storage and compute), combining a stateless operating system with autonomous technology on a globally-distributed network of nodes. The technology stack is unstoppable (self-driving and self-healing) and our tamper-proof infrastructure can scale with demand.
-
-
-Reputed organizations and blockchains (e.g. DigiByte, Polygon, CasperLabs) are joining the ThreeFold ecosystem, as it is best positioned to efficiently and truly decentralize the web through its advanced technology stack.
-
-
-
-[TFT](https://threefold.io/token) is the official currency of ThreeFold, with each token representing a unit of reservation of capacity (storage and compute) on the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/farming/tech).
-
-## The time to get TFT is now!
-
-With TFT, developers and enterprises can reserve compute and storage to build any IT workload and application on the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-Now is the best time for anyone to join ThreeFold’s decentralization movement, as we’re on the verge of releasing the next generation Internet and Cloud to mainnet, through a sequence of events starting next month.
-
-## Making it easier to get TFT
-
-### TFT is now live on PancakeSwap
-
-The BSC dApp and DeFi ecosystem has grown significantly over the last few months. In April, it was reported that BSC held up to 9 million transactions per day, outperforming Ethereum’s with (under) 2 million. Further, we have witnessed ongoing innovation in this particular environment, with multiple DeFi, Yield Farming, NFT applications, and other dApps leveraging the Binance Smart Chain and its cost-effective transactions. BSC is making DeFi applications more inclusive and accessible for people around the globe.
-
-
-Beyond just making TFT more accessible, ThreeFold integrated with Binance Smart Chain to empower BSC developers with its decentralized storage and compute infrastructure. They can now benefit from ThreeFold's peer-to-peer nature and autonomous IT, with more security, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and decentralization benefits.
-
-
-PancakeSwap has become the top Automated Market Maker (AMM) and Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on BSC. Multiple people in the ThreeFold community have requested to have the ability to leverage PancakeSwap's platform – to easily swap other BSC tokens for TFT, and to utilize its yield farming and other functionalities.
-
-#### Ultimately, the BSC integration brings forward two major opportunities:
-
-1. It makes TFT more widely accessible, via one of the top smart chains in the world
-
-
-
-*Find out how to get TFT on PancakeSwap [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__tft_binance_defi?id=how-to-get-tft-on-pancakeswap)*
-
-
-
-2. It's fully inclusive – anybody can now provide liquidity for TFT currency pairs
-
-
-
-*Find out how to become a TFT Liquidity Provider on PancakeSwap [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__liquidity_provider)*
-
-
-We believe in these key advantages of DeFi, where market making and providing liquidity are now decentralized to the people, and not owned or controlled by the few.
-
-### Quick Access to Binance Smart Chain
-
-For those who have experience with Binance Smart Chain, TFT can be exchanged on BSC via the following contract address:
-
-
-
-**0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf** (direct link [here](https://exchange.pancakeswap.finance/#/swap?outputCurrency=0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf))
-
-
-
-
-*Please note it is very important to use the official contract address (above) and not any other address you may find elsewhere. For your own protection, please do not use contract addresses from unverified sources.*
-
-### A BTC-TFT integration on the ThreeFold Connect app
-
-ThreeFold Connect (available on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threefold-connect/id1459845885) and [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jimber.threebotlogin&hl=en&gl=US) has long been a way for people to store their TFT. Now, anyone can buy TFT with BTC directly from the app itself. Learn how to buy TFT with BTC [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__threefold_connect_btc).
-
-
-The PancakeSwap listing and the BTC integration into the ThreeFold Connect Wallet both aim to make it easier to get TFT for people around the world. We will continue these types of efforts as we go, in the spirit of inclusion and participation in the peer-to-peer Internet.
-
-
-
-*With any questions, please head to [our forum](https://forum.threefold.io) or [our two-way chat](https://t.me/threefold).*

-The Internet economy is largely managed by centralized companies that connect servers and storage space to run web content. These companies are responsible for critical decisions that affect the Internet at large. They decide how user data is collected, stored, analyzed, and used, leaving people with little to no privacy or control over their identity and information.
-
-
-
-Giant corporations such as Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Google have been pioneering the Web 2.0 era, also known as the Cloud era. Over the past 25 years, they have built the most efficient data centers and networks to support the growth of the digital world. However, throughout the last decade, the inherent risks attached to the single points of failures and security issues related to centralized servers and APIs have raised major concerns for Internet users and countries.
-
-
-
-With the rising popularity of blockchain and peer-to-peer technologies, a gold rush around the decentralization of the Internet has already started. While many projects have attempted to decentralize the Internet and the Cloud with blockchain technology, a layer-0 is still missing for Web 3.0 and DeFi to scale to mass adoption.
-
-
-
-Now, a project called ThreeFold has joined the race after recently [announcing](https://apnews.com/press-release/kisspr/technology-middle-east-lifestyle-blockchain-dubai-079a0c910c55187206c58992347a8a1e) the launch of the first neighborhood cloud in the world.

-
-*This Q&A originally appeared [on CyberNews](https://cybernews.com/security/adnan-fatayerji-threefold-the-best-protection-is-ownership-and-sovereignty-over-your-own-online-data/).*
-
-
-
-**Every action done online leaves a trace of our personal data that can then be accessed by third parties. Unfortunately, this puts our privacy at risk and can lead to dangerous consequences.**
-
-
-
-If our sensitive information falls into the wrong hands, one can encounter identity theft and suffer enormous financial losses. Thus, it’s essential to explore how the Internet could become a safer place for everyone.
-
-
-
-For this reason, [CyberNews](https://cybernews.com/) asked Adnan Fatayerji, the CEO of ThreeFold Foundation, to explain how blockchain technology can empower users and give them ownership over their own online data.
-
-
-
-**How did ThreeFold originate? What has your journey been like?**
-
-
-
-My journey with ThreeFold began in 2015. I was a serial entrepreneur up to this point, inspired by the energy and opportunity Dubai had to offer when I first arrived more than a decade prior. I had recently co-founded a company that worked with panoramic stitching and used an incredible piece of technology – we got a lot of interest and were quickly acquired.
-
-
-
-At that point, a mutual friend and a business partner introduced me to Kristof de Spiegeleer. He shared his view of the problems with the Internet, with centralized data centers, the Internet’s stack, storage, and computation, and how they needed improvement in ways that serve the underserved around the world.
-
-
-
-Kristof expressed that he had been trying to resolve these problems for a long time and he thought he had the pieces to the puzzle, especially with the advent of blockchain which offered new and exciting possibilities. He thought we would hit it off, and we did.
-
-
-
-We’ve built ThreeFold and even created a new operating system – Zero OS. It is more energy-efficient and runs completely in an autonomous and decentralized way. It's the first of its kind, built off of Linux.
-
-
-
-The ThreeFold journey has been a vast school of knowledge for me while working with incredible co-founders and mentors who have helped build pieces of the IT world as we know it. It has truly changed my life.
-
-
-
-**Can you tell us a little bit about what you do? What are your main fields of focus at the moment?**
-
-
-
-For the last five years, I've been in charge of the ThreeFold Foundation which is building a global movement around the ThreeFold Grid – a peer-to-peer, open-source, and decentralized Internet. I’m also active in our fundraising, business, and ecosystem development efforts. It's an honor every day to wake up and be a part of a global movement of people who are trying to build a better Internet for humanity that can uplift and empower.
-
-
-
-Currently, we are focused on building Neighborhood Clouds on ThreeFold that allow home and business owners to transform their own neighborhood into a decentralized, distributed data center by becoming a [ThreeFold Farmer](https://threefold.io/farm). Each home, office, or commercial property can host a 3Node – a dedicated server that provides the edge computing and Internet storage needed to run decentralized applications and Internet services.
-
-
-
-3Nodes are interconnected using existing local Internet cable infrastructure. They offer a quantum-safe storage system with the capacity to host a metaverse, gaming, rendering cloud, compute cloud, and a platform for our digital applications that enable our daily digital life. Farmers, in turn, are rewarded every month in ThreeFold Tokens (TFT), a digital currency, for adding capacity to the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-
-We recently announced a historic partnership in Dubai with Paradise Hills Development to provide every homeowner in a 170-home gated community with a pre-installed 3Node. The initiative will provide residents, businesses, developers, and the government with a secure and highly accessible sovereign cloud infrastructure to run a vast array of applications and internet services, as well as store and process their data locally.
-
-
-
-**It is evident that open source is an important part of ThreeFold. Would you like to share more about your vision?**
-
-
-
-Just as Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned the democratization of the financial system through decentralization, ThreeFold is on a similar quest to democratize the Internet with open-source, autonomous, and blockchain technologies. ThreeFold has built the open-source technology behind the decentralized storage and compute capacity of the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-
-More Internet users can benefit from a neutral, peer-to-peer platform on which to store their data and run their applications privately and securely. Moreover, decentralization can help to remove the Internet's singular potential points of failure which could seriously disrupt the global Internet and Cloud industry.
-
-
-
-A decentralized Internet can also better serve underserved populations of the world, including indigenous populations across the globe. We believe in open-source and we are partnering with technology companies, governments, and indigenous communities to expand the Internet in underserved regions.
-
-
-
-**Do you think the recent global events had an effect on the way people approach the blockchain landscape?**
-
-
-
-Recent global events have definitely had an effect and spotlighted the fact that we need to consider new approaches to our IT systems with the blockchain landscape being one of them. A good example of the power of blockchain technology along with digital currency is Ukraine’s thriving fundraising. As the war began, a [Decentralized Autonomous Organization](https://www.wired.com/story/i-created-a-dao-for-laughs-want-to-join/) (DAO) was set up so that the government could accept cryptocurrency directly from donors.
-
-
-
-DAOs have several advantages over traditional organizations. First is the lack of trust needed between the two parties. A traditional organization requires a lot of trust in the people behind it, especially on behalf of investors. With DAOs, only the code needs to be trusted.
-
-
-
-The ThreeFold DAO allows autonomous operation of the TFChain and ThreeFold Grid. At ThreeFold, we believe that decentralization is needed across a wide array of systems, including organizations, to build a better Internet. Decentralization typically brings more resilience, equality, and fairness. As such, we apply this in a variety of ways across our own structures and practices.
-
-
-
-On a similar note, the blockchain community needs to look at the vulnerability of the blockchain’s underlying infrastructure. Today, many are run on centralized cloud services and in a time of conflict can be vulnerable to hacks or attacks. I think this is where ThreeFold aligns so well with the blockchain industry since we provide the missing layer needed to be secure, scale, and remain decentralized.
-
-
-
-**Since blockchain is a relatively new technology, there are still some confusion and myths surrounding them. What misconceptions do you notice most often?**
-
-
-
-One of the common misconceptions and misunderstandings about blockchain is that people often think cryptocurrency and blockchain are the same. Blockchain is a ledger and cryptocurrency is an alternative means of financial transaction. Cryptocurrency (or Digital Currency) is powered by blockchain, but blockchain does not need a cryptocurrency to function.
-Here’s how blockchain and digital currency work on ThreeFold:
-
-
-
-- **Layer 2 (L2): the ecosystem security layer.** The ThreeFold DAO and ThreeFold Token (TFT) live here. It’s our main chain with 100 validators and it secures the multiple Layer 1 (L1) networks.
-- **Layer 1 (L1): the Internet of Blockchains layer.** It’s ultimately scaleable because of thousands or millions of blockchains. It’s like a side chain for the ThreeFold Grid.
-- **Layer Zero (L0): the IT capacity layer and the cloud computer layer.** ThreeFold executors live on this layer, secured by L0 Validators. L0 provides compute, storage, and network resources to L1 and L2.
-
-
-
-Furthermore, the ThreeFold Token (TFT) is the first token in the world that gives access to the most comprehensive, decentralized Internet capacity for computing, storage, networking, and soon GPUs. Look at it as *the Bitcoin for Internet Capacity*.
-
-
-
-Users, developers, and enterprises can use TFT to store data, build applications, and create peer-to-peer ecosystems on the ThreeFold Grid. ThreeFold Farmers are rewarded in TFT for contributing capacity to the ThreeFold Grid.
-
-
-
-**As more companies move their workload to the cloud, are there any details that might be overlooked when making the switch?**
-
-
-
-A vastly overlooked detail about the current cloud landscape is that it is energy-hungry and unsustainable given the rate at which our digital demands are growing today. If your company is working to be more environmentally conscious and meet climate goals, cloud hosting might have been overlooked as a contributing factor.
-
-
-
-The Internet’s growth is exponential: 5.25 billion people have Internet access and are active users, so that’s about 66% of the world's population. Since 2000, the number of Internet users has increased by 1,355%. The rate at which hyper-scale data centers need to be built to keep up with hosting these clouds is unrealistic, and their price tags are exorbitant considering there are more efficient ways to tackle this issue.
-
-
-
-With ThreeFold, companies can now literally be their own data centers, without the data security risks, latency and downtime issues, or hosting expenses. We believe that the current centralized cloud infrastructure carries increasing risk and it delivers poorly for underserved populations of the world.
-
-
-
-It’s crazy to think that more than 80% of today's Internet infrastructure is owned by less than 20 organizations. The lack of ownership of our own data and the consequent commercialization of our data is a major concern for both individuals and governments alike. Neutrality and democratization of the Internet are an absolute necessity regarding the future of the Internet and cloud architecture.
-
-
-
-**What security measures do you think are crucial both for casual Internet users and large organizations?**
-
-
-
-Protecting our personal data is crucial for any individual or entity participating online. There are many precautions and measures that can be taken but the best protection is ownership and sovereignty over your own online data.
-
-
-
-From data breaches to DoS attacks to hacked interfaces, cloud computing is under constant attack. ThreeFold’s decentralized cloud offers improved security through a new, secure operating system, Zero OS, that runs on ThreeFold 3Nodes. It has no shell so that farmers – the owners of the capacity that hosts the OS and the workloads – have no access to the data nor the applications running on their hardware.
-
-
-
-This OS is booted over the network with cryptographic boot file verification to prevent physical disk access and man-in-the-middle attacks. All nodes have their own IPv6 address and are fully interconnected in the defined network. Additionally, all traffic on the network is encrypted and inaccessible by TF Farmers or hackers.
-
-
-
-ThreeFold also offers a Quantum-Safe File System. This File System can be used inside VMs or Kubernetes. This is an amazing feature because it allows you to store endless amounts of data in a Virtual Machine.
-
-
-
-There’s also added security. Deployment of IT workloads using a so-called “Smart Contract for IT” makes the deployment process resilient to human error and hacking. The system is self-driving and self-healing, therefore removing the human requirement for deploying and operating IT infrastructure or services. This represents a breakthrough in IT.
-
-
-
-**What are your predictions for the future of blockchain technology?**
-
-
-
-Once mainstream organizations become more familiar with the technology and how to use it effectively, adoption will increase. It's already happening and it's being merged with other emerging technologies to create scale and efficiency across sectors. We will see a new and more refined era of blockchain technology where functional use cases drive the narrative.
-
-
-
-**Share with us, what does the future hold for ThreeFold?**
-
-
-
-ThreeFold is growing the ThreeFold Grid by enabling a community of thousands of farmers from around the world to participate and own a piece of the Internet. Check out our map to see if your region is lit up yet. We believe that the decentralized Internet is key to a sustainable future so that we can deliver on the true promise of the Internet and make it more widely available and affordable for all.
-
-
-
-We are continuously improving the ThreeFold Grid. We just announced the release of ThreeFold Grid V3.0.0 Alpha-5 with significant upgrades, improvements, and fixes. Users can now choose to deploy applications and services on dedicated 3Nodes or reserve an entire 3Node, then use it exclusively to deploy solutions for themselves or other customers.
-
-
-
-Starting with V3, the ThreeFold Grid is now operating as a DAO. We have also made it easier for users to buy ThreeFold Tokens by trading their BTC on our official [TFT Shop website](https://gettft.com/gettft/).
-
-
-
-We are announcing several promising partnerships and use cases in 2022 and are working closely with several nations to help establish a decentralized and sovereign infrastructure that will improve Internet accessibility, security, and locally provisioned capacity. You can learn more about it at threeFold.io.

-## About ThreeFold
-
-ThreeFold is developing a peer-to-peer Internet platform that aims to liberalize what it labels as a centralized and unequally distributed Internet. Its platform, called the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/info/threefold#/threefold__grid_home), comprises over +600 servers in 25+ different countries around the world, delivering approximately 80 PB in storage and over 16,000 CPU cores worldwide, making it the largest storage and compute peer-to-peer Internet network in the world. See ThreeFold Grid’s statistics in more detail using their explorer [here](https://explorer.threefold.io/all).
-
-
-
-Each server runs ThreeFold’s stateless and lightweight open-source operating system, Zero-OS, and is set up and operated by independent individuals and organizations called Farmers. Farmers earn rewards in [TFT](https://threefold.io/info/threefold#/threefold__token_home) - the platform’s native token - for their participation. TFT is the currency of the ThreeFold Grid, with each token representing a unit of storage and compute on the platform. Grid users can use these tokens to reserve the storage and compute they need to store, build and share on the platform’s internet network.
-
-
-ThreeFold’s ultimate vision is to be part of the movement to fully democratize the Internet worldwide.

-Privacy and decentralization are some of the values shared by both [Presearch](https://www.presearch.io/) and [ThreeFold](https://threefold.io), at the core of their missions to create scalable technologies that can positively impact the lives of millions of individuals and enterprises around the globe.
-
-
-Presearch and ThreeFold are thrilled to officially announce their collaborative partnership. Presearch is [a community-powered, decentralized search engine](https://presearch.org/) that provides better results while protecting your privacy and rewarding you when you search. And ThreeFold is the world’s largest peer-to-peer cloud, bringing privacy and security, cost-efficiencies, ease-of-use, and true IT decentralization to the market.
-
-
-Presearch (and its node and storage infrastructure) will benefit from ThreeFold’s peer-to-peer cloud in two different ways:
-
-### 1. Powering Presearch node operators with a decentralized cloud infrastructure
-The Presearch community will be able to deploy their Presearch nodes in a few clicks in a completely decentralized cloud infrastructure, using the ThreeFold peer-to-peer cloud and its developer tools. Thus, they can escape the monopolies of centralized cloud providers, and reduce the technical complexity of running Blockchain nodes.
-
-
-Colin Pape, Presearch’s CEO, said in a statement, “We are excited to partner with the ThreeFold team to offer our community members an easy way to quickly deploy Presearch Nodes on ThreeFold decentralized peer-to-peer internet grid, the world’s largest server network powered by blockchain technology.”
-
-
-Presearch has recently opened its beta testing program for node operators looking to become part of the revolutionary network that is changing the way individuals around the world can search the web – in a significantly more private, inclusive, and rewarding environment. Anyone who believes in the decentralization of search engines should [sign up to their beta testers list](https://presearchcommunity.typeform.com/to/UkDumktm) and get in touch with Presearch to be one of the early adopters.
-
-### 2. Leveraging ThreeFold’s decentralized storage to store the future of the search engine experience
-
-Presearch and ThreeFold are exploring the usage of ThreeFold’s decentralized storage capacity to store and archive Presearch’s indexes and other data running the search engine. The main goal is to provide an unbreakable data storage and backup infrastructure for the future of the search engine experience that the top-notch team behind Presearch is building.
-
-
-In addition, ThreeFold looks forward to advocating for Presearch and integrating the decentralized search engine into its current and future solutions for a more private and inclusive internet experience.
-
-### Powering the ThreeFold community’s search engine experience with Presearch
-
-ThreeFold will be establishing Presearch’s decentralized search engine as its main search engine partner, advocating for its usage within its growing community of developers, cloud capacity farmers, enterprises, and users.
-
-
-As stated by Weynand Kuijpers, “Presearch is creating a search engine by people for people. The internet has moved from data sharing to centralized data harvesting. Presearch is undoing that by creating user control over data stored, presenting a (digital) return for contributing to the system and improving search results, and making it decentralized. ThreeFold is looking forward to co-creating a decentralized mechanism where the search engine is broken down and operates everywhere, and users are in control of their own identity and data.“
-
-
-More to come as the partnership develops.
-
-### About Presearch:
-
-Many of us are tired of Big Tech companies dominating the internet, censoring content and controlling the social narrative by manipulating information to fit an agenda.
-
-
-Presearch provides improved access to information and increased search choice with its community-driven search engine that leverages blockchain technology and cryptocurrency to empower and reward users. More than 1.6 million people have already joined the service.
-
-
-In 2020, Presearch launched its innovative keyword staking sponsorship platform that enables promoters to lock their Presearch PRE cryptocurrency tokens against different keywords in order to have their promotional ads displayed. More than 60 million PRE tokens have already been locked.
-
-
-Now Presearch is launching a decentralized search engine that rewards node operators with PRE tokens when they run Presearch nodes. Through its partnership with ThreeFold, anyone will be able to easily launch a Presearch node running on the ThreeFold decentralized peer-to-peer internet grid with no technical knowledge required.

-
-For both Zetako and ThreeFold, efficiency and sustainability are key. [Zetako](https://www.zetako.ai/) is a company dedicated to lossless data compression, and after years of research and development, has created an alternative solution to the regular standards of data compression. And with two decades of relevant experience and a focus on sustainability, ThreeFold has built new peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure and technologies from the ground up – where every aspect is optimized towards maximum efficiency and the least amount of harm to the planet.
-
-
-
-Both already members of [the Alliance for a Conscious Internet](https://threefold.io/aci), a planetary movement of people and organizations that take action to shape a conscious digital world, Zetako and ThreeFold have now signed on to merge their technologies to bring forward hyper-efficient, secure, and private data transport and storage solutions for all.
-
-
-"The world has been using the same compression technology for the last 30 years, just like the model to deliver IT services has not changed," says Weynand Kuijpers, ThreeFold Co-Founder. "ThreeFold challenges that status quo, where anybody can now be the Internet by adding capacity to the ThreeFold Grid – and with this, we need a 21st century compression and decompression technology. Zetako delivers that much-needed true innovation."
-
-
-The ThreeFold Grid is live today, the world’s most advanced peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure. It can scale limitlessly, and brings a more performant, secure and sustainable Internet to host humanity’s data and workloads. ThreeFold technology already consumes 90 percent less energy than today's solutions. (The company has also recently announced plans to offset energy usage 100 percent by the end of 2021, with the goal of taking two times more carbon out of the air than they put in.)
-
-
-With its quantum safe storage offering, ThreeFold can now integrate with Zetako's technology to store compressed data, enabling it to become even more efficient and sustainable. Further, ThreeFold can now do compression live on network connections between different parts of what users deploy.
-
-
-"We are particularly excited about the opportunity to work with ThreeFold as we believe they represent the future of data transmission & storage," says Claus Rosenberg Gotthard, CEO of Zetako. "It's the right place to implement Zetako's innovative technologies of bit-by-bit compression."
-
-
-In the short term, Zetako and ThreeFold will work on a project basis to fulfill specific organization requirements. Zetako provides the compression, and ThreeFold provides the compute and storage. As an example, with COVID-19 and the world moving increasingly digital, congesting the network, people and businesses that need a way to transfer large files quickly will now have a much more efficient way to do so. And in the longer term, the two will explore more ways to deeply integrate their technologies and provide broader solutions to the world.
-
-## About Zetako
-
-Zetako is dedicated to reducing energy usage & CO2 emission for the transmission & storage of data by applying a new more efficient lossless data compression technology.
-
-
-We have developed a new mathematical theory based on Statistical Predictive modeling and applied this to a new lossless data compression technology. The result is a technology that provides higher Compression at higher Speed and uses >70% less energy in the process. In addition to this, the technology is capable of doing bit-by-bit compression allowing for real time bandwidth reduction. The technology does not need a prior knowledge of the dataset to start compression. This means that our technology does not require the data stream to be chopped up into chunks – we apply compression the moment the first bit (1 or 0) comes in.
-
-
-
-You can learn more about Zetako at [zetako.ai](https://www.zetako.ai/).

-_This week marks a big step in the history of TomoChain and ThreeFold as both organizations join forces to work towards a common vision of a more sustainable and decentralized world._
-
-
-The [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/grid_why)’s peer-to-peer nature comes with many advantages for blockchains as it truly decentralizes their IT infrastructures and, enabling better performance, security, affordability, and sustainability, as compared to current centralized cloud alternatives.
-
-
-[TomoChain](https://tomochain.com) will invite their developer community and anyone interested in contributing to the TomoChain Blockchain, to connect and use the Threefold Grid. By deploying their Masternodes and workloads on the ThreeFold Grid, their developers will benefit from a more decentralized and affordable cloud offering and benefit from the autonomous execution of their workloads via ThreeFold’s [Smart Contract for IT](https://library.threefold.me/info/sdk/#/smart_contract).
-
-
-Anyone interested in being part of the TomoChain node ecosystem using the ThreeFold Grid would be highly encouraged to get started in a few steps [following the documentation](https://forum.threefold.io/t/setting-up-a-tomochain-node-in-5-steps/389).
-
-
-Furthermore, with the recent announcement of TomoChain’s DEX Protocol, TomoX, released, both organizations will also test the [ThreeFold P2P Cloud](https://library.threefold.me/info/sdk/#/intro) solution to enable developers to build DEXs on top of TomoChain using ThreeFold’s truly decentralized IT infrastructure.

-Today, ThreeFold and WaykiChain are pleased to officially announce their collaborative partnership. Both ThreeFold and WaykiChain found clear alignment on decentralizing the internet for people and businesses and share the same core values that encompass their respective visions.
-
-
-Through this collaboration, the WaykiChain developer community will be enabled to deploy and maintain their nodes and any of their IT Workloads using the [Threefold P2P Cloud](http://cloud.threefold.io). This will empower them to decentralize their cloud-computing infrastructures, with far more affordability, and distribution compared to centralized cloud-providers, and with native cloud automation via ThreeFold’s [Smart contract for IT](https://library.threefold.me/info/sdk/#/smart_contract).
-
-
-The ThreeFold team invites blockchain enthusiasts, developers, and anyone interested in being part of WaykiChain community to deploy a mainnet node, or to explore building a Dapp on top of WayKiChain.
-
-### About WaykiChain:
-WaykiChain is a prominent blockchain platform based in China with a global community, it is a DPoS ( Delegated proof of stake) public blockchain that is highly scalable and with high-performance transaction processing capabilities (TPS 3300), with an efficient consensus mechanism.
-
-
-WaykiChain has a variety of product lines, with the WaykiChain core wallet, the WaykiTimes and their DeFi-vertical technologies that are built within the core layer of blockchain, i.e. the crypto-asset backed [stablecoin technology](https://cdp.waykichain.com/) as well as its [built-in decentralized exchange](https://dex.waykichain.com/).
-
-
-According to WaykiChain’s core team the upcoming 3.0 release of WaykiChain will support WASM virtual machine technology for smart contract development and deployment. Waykichain’s blockchain enables developers to build performing dApps on top of it using its developer tools, and has throughout these 3 years, built [an extended ecosystem of Dapps](https://dapp.review/explore/wicc).
-
-### About ThreeFold:
-[ThreeFold](https://threefold.io) has developed the largest and most advanced peer-to-peer Internet grid in the world. They launched the ThreeFold Grid V2.0 in April 2020 – a more performant, private & secure, affordable, and sustainable solution than centralized cloud and Internet providers.
-
-
-With a collective and incentivized ecosystem of Farmers (independent Internet capacity providers) around the globe, the [ThreeFold Grid](https://explorer.grid.tf/) is now open for developers to build on top of it, and users can now benefit from all the advantages of using a truly peer-to-peer environment.
-

-
-At ThreeFold, together with a beautiful ecosystem of partners, we are co-creating a peer-to-peer Internet that empowers equality, freedom, and sustainability.
-
-
-To be honest, we were always focused on building and utilizing [our own transactional blockchain](https://github.com/threefoldtech/rivine). We wanted to make sure we did it in the right way, upholding our values - but then we realized that the solution was already out there.
-
-
-_Stellar is an open-source network for currencies and payments. Stellar makes it possible to create, send and trade digital representations of all forms of money - dollars, pesos, bitcoin, pretty much anything. It's designed so all the world's financial systems can work together on a single network._
-
-
-_Stellar has no owner; if anything it's owned by the public. The software runs across a decentralized, open network and handles millions of transactions each day. Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Stellar relies on blockchain to keep the network in sync, but the end-user experience is more like cash - Stellar is much faster, cheaper, and more energy-efficient than typical blockchain-based systems._
-
-
-In the spirit of collaboration, something we believe in heavily, we knew the right decision was to abandon our own transactional blockchain and to move our ThreeFold Token (TFT) to Stellar.
-
-
-
-### Why did we choose Stellar?
-
-* Technology-wise it's a very strong platform - energy-friendly & fast.
-* There is good liquidity on the Stellar Network; it's super easy to go from XLM to TFT.
-* By utilizing the Stellar Network, we are part of a large blockchain platform/network. There is good integration with other digital currencies.
-* Perhaps most importantly, we share like-minded values.
-
-
-
-The Stellar Network is supported by the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF). From [their website](https://www.stellar.org/foundation), "SDF and Stellar seek to unlock the world's economic potential by making money more fluid, markets more open, and people more empowered."
-
-
-The ThreeFold and Stellar Foundations have very aligned goals, particularly around empowerment of all people around the world - to create equal access to the Internet and to a global, inclusive financial system. Both solutions are built on open-source technology, both aim to unlock the world's economic potential, and most of all, both empower people in developing countries and all around the globe.
-
-
-That is why ThreeFold is proud to be a part of the Stellar Network.

-Not sure what a solution provider is? A solution provider offers a solution on the ThreeFold Grid and receives 50% of the TFT utilization revenues from the workload related to the solution. You can dig further into this topic and how to become a solution provider [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-solution-provider-and-sales-channel/3746).
